So true. Enjoy your holiday.

Bad scotch is awful. Bad wine is even worse.

Speaking of fine Canadian products, you are aware that a Canadian chardonnay was recently voted best in the world. I guess some wine snobs I know aren’t laughing anymore about my trip next month to Ontario wine country.

All I’ll add is “nosdrovia” as I trust your bottle collection is large and growing.

Sure Paul…like I only drink crown royal to collect the empties…..

My point being is that I’m getting the sense your blog is straying a bit into pop-culture commentary and away from your roots as a business-life insider that have had a substantial influence on me. Even the recent books have a ‘pump it out for the contract’ sense to them.

I know you’ve got another great business novel in you, and I’ll wait for it!

God Bless Television.

Never been entertained by a Twilight Zone episode? All in The Family? Family Ties – That’s Michael J. Fox, whom, without his TV career, probably wouldn’t be so effective at raising funds for Parkinson’s Disease. MASH? MASH is the most awesome show ever.

WKRP in Cincinnati? – “As God as my witness I thought turkeys could fly….”

Sometimes TV just allows you to laugh when you thought you couldn’t.

TV….Geeeeez you Americans have everything….heard about TV….big glass fish bowel set in a wooden crate with pictures that move…..beats the hell out of the traveling gypyies that show up at my camp from time to time with hand puppets and and squeaky voices…

Question…If you spend all your time watching that TV thing…when do you find the time to go out on the ice and bash seal pups or trap wolves ……who does that for Americans these days …Mexicans..

History Detectives and Jim Lehrer keep the cobwebs away in our TV realm.

Perhaps History Detectives could do a Corporate Super Sleuth episode where a descendent from a former CFO finds an old leather bound ledger with a one-sided accounting entry that one of the Big 8 (the firm count at that time) failed to detect!…

Sam Neil as Riley Ace of Spies.

The McLaghlin Group where I’m waiting for the day when Clift and the Blonde who fancies her own legs go at it.

Almost any episode of Nova because you feel more informed than before you watched.

Love Deadliest Catch, Ice Road Truckers, and Antiques Road Show. I’d also like to see the Hansen brothers critique furniture and the Keough brothers drop a string of pots. Maybe next season.

Thanks, Robbie and thanks Bing for introducing me to your engaging blog and its memorable cast of characters.

Bing, yours is the only blog I follow and I love ya bud, but I must admit some recent posts are starting to wear your brand a bit thin. Like the old TV shows, I find myself nostalgic for Bing Classic, the old stuff! Say, how about a sequel to ‘Lloyd?’

I started watching Star Trek in 1964. I have been in love with all of it …even the movies.

I remember watching the new every evening with dinner. I remember more than anything else about the news of my early teen years how they would broadcast the body counts, like the score of some sick game.

I remember watching the live broadcast of the Jamaican bobsled team as they came down the track on their heads.

I remember watching the second tower fall as all of my co-workers were huddled around a little 9″ set in the office.

I watch the Super Bowl although I missed the now infamous wardrobe malfunction. I like Survivor. You have not lived until you’ve seen some horse’s ass who richly deserves it gets blindsided.

Yeah, some of it’s fluff. But what’s life without some fluff?
