I remember George Blanda when he played for the Chicago Bears with the great Johnny Lujack back in the early 1950s when I was a sub-teen and "da Bears" used St. Joe College for their training camp in my old hometown of Rensselaer, IN where I saw many of their scrimmages and some of their exhibition games back then.

The Science Fiction contest for writers that I have mentioned a couple times earlier is drawing closer. The opening date is October 1, 2010. Take a gander at the contest rules on the website if you are a Science Fiction writer. In case you missed it, the URL is:

Good luck.

While researching Odysseus I discovered: After turning Homer’s epic poem The Iliad into the 2004 film Troy, Warner Brothers and Brad Pitt are teaming with George Miller to adapt the Greek poet’s other masterwork, The Odyssey. Their intention is to transfer the tale to a futuristic setting in outer space.
In Homer’s The Odyssey, the story picks up where The Iliad leaves off, telling the adventures of Odysseus on his way home from the Battle of Troy, although the movie version will obviously be somewhat different. The movie is scheduled for a 2012 release, and is in pre-production at Warner Brothers studios.
Odysseus
I wonder if this film is still scheduled for release in 2012? Haven't heard anything about it lately. And I don't feel like going to the trouble of looking it up on the web.
Time will tell.

Eating Dannon Yogurt has convinced me that their Light & Fit product is the best I've ever tasted, and since their prices are always moderate to low I have become a repeat purchaser, consuming approximately one cup per day, often favoring the Peach flavor, although I also enjoy the taste of their Blueberry and Key Lime flavors.Aw heck! I like all the flavors.
Additionally, the Dannon folks often run promotions, such as winning prizes for periodic contests by entering a code from the underside of Light & Fit covers.
Right now the promotion is Dannon's pledge to contribute ten-cents to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. for each such code entered at their Charity website. and I have been entering my codes (always one, sometimes two) each day.
(Click image for larger view)The above is not a commercial for Dannon but merely an informative factoid for your edification.

From the King James Bible -- Ecclesiastes 1:2
Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
Such stark and deliberate wisdom. All is vanity. Three words that effectively negate all other words written in the book. Three words that say it all (to they who have ears to hear) about the purpose and meaning of human life.
Think about it.
