Happy Birthday, Morris

You ain't nothing but a hound dog either, man, but I love you.
My own last birthday, of course, was January 8, 1977. Now I'm "in eternity" and, I have to tell you, it's a drag.

You And Elvis? I did not know that you and he share the same birth day. Have a Happy One.

A little birthday trivia for you: Where was Elvis scheduled to perform his next concert when he died? Hint: It is my hometown. There are probably 10,000 people still living there today who never cashed in their concert tickets when his untimely death made him a no show.

Happy birthday! If you ever think of visiting the city with the star (another hint) I hope you have better luck than Elvis.

Editorial Board

Editor in Chief, Morris Dean. Writer and editor since mother's teat, in old age manages a weblog beat, sometimes opines in rhyming lines, and chooses words to set in measured feet. [favorite website]

Contributing Editors:

James Knudsen. The Loneliest Liberal. Despite voting for Barack Obama twice, being a registered Democrat, actor, educator, yada yada yada—there are things that put him on the fringe. He's a US Marine (current Commandant General Amos sent out a memo: Can't say "former") and a gun-owner. He likes to watch NASCAR but hates the hillbilly patriotism. "So what's a fella to do?"

Tom Lowe. A visual artist and photographer, living in the San Francisco Bay Area, who increasingly finds himself quoting Shakespeare: Puck, "What fools these mortals be!" [favorite websites]

motomynd. A vegan, a trail runner motorcyclist who fell briefly for what he now calls the "Ronald Reagan con job that we could all have something for nothing" and has vowed to devote the rest of his life to making up for that horrific mistake. [favorite websites]

Jonathan Price. A retired English professor, has taught courses in American literature and contemporary film both in California and abroad, including Portugal, Thailand, and Italy, is currently working on a memoir of his two Fulbright fellowships abroad.

Susan C. Price. A "helper" who has worked in California State welfare administrative positions and in non-profit management and bookkeeping...but feels that her words should tell you all you need to know about her.

Columnists:

James T. Carney. Student of history who likes to visit its monuments and museums and report on them with a critical eye and some humor. Attorney-at-law and long-time resident of Pittsburgh.

Geoffrey Dean. Cellist living in Sofia, Bulgaria, currently immersed in the Viennese classics. He started the 2012-13 concert season with music by Haydn and Mozart and is now performing Beethoven, Schubert, and Brahms.

Jim Rix. Author of Jingle Jangle: The Perfect Crime Turned Inside Out, appears occasionally with Ray Krone in television documentaries about justice gone wrong.

Ed Rogers. Has what he has and life in Costa Rica is pretty good, loves telling stories and writing for pleasure. His unpublished novel Boystown opens with the sentence, "When I was a young man I knew the name of every prostitute in Boystown, and they knew mine."

Chuck Smythe. Retired astronomer and mountaineering instructor, spending his declining years studying music and skiing like a maniac.
