By William Jeanes, READ MORE > 3,582 Reads
On Thu, 07/16/2020 - 02:47 PM

When I was in grammar school, just after the invention of the mimeograph, religious broadcasters often used the phrase, “To all you shut-ins out there in radio land.” I asked my grandmother what a shut-in was and could we go and look at one.

Fun with cable, from My Pillow to side effects
By William Jeanes, READ MORE > 3,138 Reads

By now you’ve overdosed on contagion, testing, treatment, and quarantine, so I thought we’d talk about cable television. As you adjust to Hunker Condition 2, you’ll be watching a lot of cable or satellite. You may also watch streaming, but I don’t know enough about streaming to be of help; ask your grandkids.

A good lesson: Pleasing people rarely stings you
By William Jeanes, READ MORE > 777 Reads
On Thu, 09/26/2019 - 09:49 AM

I remember a sunny Saturday morning in Newport, Rhode Island — graduation day for Class 48 at the U.S. Naval School, Officer Candidate. That was its official name; to us it was just OCS. And few who experience OCS ever quite forget it.
