April 28, 2006

Further proof that there are always “second acts” in American Pop Culture: Rosie O’Donnell is joining “The View”. Interestingly, her personal collection of pictures on flickr.com has just been ‘discovered’ on the web, just as she uploaded a couple pictures of Barbara Walters, “View” star/execproducer, and frankly, she doesn’t look happy. Coincidence? I care not! I’m just looking forward to the inevitable catfight with Star Jones-Reynolds-Wrap over her recent comments on her capitalization-and-punctuation-free blog. They may need Jerry Springer to mediate. (Which one’s gonna throw the couch?)

Thanks to an MSNBC.com 5Top List that I did not write for reminding me that today is Arbor Day. (Another holiday? THAT’s why I’m not getting any work done.) Although overshadowed by the very closely scheduled Earth Day (occasionally they fall on the same day), my traumatic childhood experience with the Boy Scouts makes the tree-based holiday closer to my heart (and no, I will not be telling you that story anytime soon). So, while it is still April 28th here on the Left Coast of California, let me offer up what, for me, has always been the traditional Arbor Day Greeting:

Happy Arbor Day
Take a Tree to Lunch
