Tossed salad post 4
November 24th, 2009
Low calorie! High fiber! The lazy way to make a daily post!
- Ran into someone today who hadn’t seen me in 3 weeks or so, who said, “Wow, you look great. Have you been working out?” Well, yes, I have, in fact. And I’ve lost 6 pounds. Halfway to my goal.
- I need to start considering the details of my traditional Jewish Christmas observance, which is, of course, Chinese food and a movie. The Chinese food is easy. The movie choice, not so much.
- First the Wall Street Journal shuttered its Boston bureau. Now the Washington Post is closing its Chicago, LA, and New York bureaus. Guess a few more unemployed journalists will be working on their book proposals this holiday season.
- And speaking of endings, a post on BreakupGirl.net about breakup songs tickled a hibernating brain cell, and up popped a memory of one I’d long forgotten: the 1983 hit “Salt in My Tears” by Martin Briley. It’s still good, cheesy ’80s video notwithstanding. (Incidentally, Briley never had another hit of his own, but has apparently had a boffo career writing and producing songs for other people. To which I say, “Well played.” So to speak.)
Will that be ranch, Thousand Island, balsamic vinaigrette, or just a little lemon juice?

I discovered your homepage by coincidence.
Very interesting posts and well written.
I will put your site on my blogroll.
:-)
Ah, “Salt In My Tears” — an early MTV favorite. I seem to recall Martin playing the guitar while standing near a fireplace?
As for the movie, if it’s still in theaters then (doubtful), I can recommend Pirate Radio — goofy fun.
Pirate Radio is already on my Netflix queue in case I don’t catch it in theaters!
And I continue to be boggled by your ability to remember these things. That is a totally accurate memory.
