I might drop my site all together between ... http://oddstilllife.com/blog2/2009/04/29/yes-a-year-i-know/ Number 1: Indiana Jones is a wuss. (And he badly needs a new stylist.) I went to the drive-in yesterday to see what would have been a wonderful double feature Kung-Fu Panda and Indiana Jones.

His life will stand as a lesson to us all. His work will be like textbooks. I have very few words to write about a man that I admired more than I could admire almost any teacher or diplomat or great ... http://oddstilllife.com/blog2/2007/04/12/the-man-is-gone-so-it-goes/ First the kid was sick for 2 weeks.
