Crossword Puzzles
They can be rather puzzling and difficult. It seems at times that they flow and I think the same way as the puzzle maker and then other times I’m ready to kill myself. I decided to start doing crossword puzzles because my sister reminded me that there is dementia in our family and crosswords are supposed to help you not get it. I won’t get dementia because I will kill myself long before that from working the New York Times Easy Crossword book. Those people in New York are so smart and sophisticated that even their easy puzzles are hard. Maybe it is because the weather is bad there in the winter and they have nothing else to do. Maybe they have more geeks in New York. Or maybe New Yorkers are just smarter than people in California…Whatever the reason I hate the New York Times Crossword Puzzles…

Signs
I’m always looking for signs in my life that I am somehow going in the right direction. Someone told me that if you get a sense of peace from doing something that is God telling you that you are going in the right direction. This seems to be true for me when I’m doing comedy, giving speeches, or writing. I also feel a great sense of peace after having sex but does that mean that God wants me to have more sex. What about all the Sunday School lectures on the evils of sex and how it can make you go blind and blah, blah, blah. It is a very confusing topic and not tackled by most bloggers.

Katie Couric
I like the idea of having Katie Couric do the CBS Evening News. I think she seems more serious on the Evening News than on the Today Show. I guess most people are more serious at the end of the day than they are in the morning. I like the “Free Speech” segment and the most of the news seems more optimistic with a woman named Katie doing it. This is my analysis of Katie. I wonder what she might say if she was following me around at work. “Jim you don’t seem to working that hard, lots of breaks Jim, were you just sleeping on the job there?” I can’t imagine any of the Evening News anchors sleeping on the job. It wouldn’t be good for their ratings. I still long to have Walter Cronkite back on the Anchor desk. Until that time comes I’ll watch Katie…

Does Life Insurance Work?
There are two basic types of life insurance—term and whole life or as some agents state Universal Whole Life. I’m already bored and I wrote the first sentence. I think the best way to cure insomnia is to read a life insurance prospectus. If you can read through the prospectus you are insane or at least on the verge of insanity. I feel that it is more important to get a good agent, trust your instincts, and listen to them. If you are wrong you won’t know it because you will be dead by the time anyone is able to collect. Buy term insurance and invest the difference is an old adage but will you invest the difference. That is the problem with life insurance…
