The Daily News

3 Is there a way to side-step this ridiculous election?
4 <sorry> <drifts off>
5 Note: in this rare Dream Sequence, everybody realizes suddenly that Mr. Rogers is running for President. His first duty as President will be introducing Daniel Tiger as his Secretary of Saying Thank You.

9 Hello?
10 Anybody home?
11 Anybody lookin'?
12 My goodness! Look at the hour!
13 Took another health walk yesterday.
14 Don't get old. Here is essentially how it goes down:
15 You feel like a champ right after a good hike.
16 Then your spectacles fall to the end of your nose, and you realize you are about as spunky as Geppetto.

18 <snore>

20 What? Huhwhat? It is time to awaken?
21 Thank you.
22 Moving On, Part One: I know I've said this before, but have you noticed that younger people no longer say, "Thank you?"
23 They say, "Think you!"
24 Listen next time you leave CVS. Quite often you will hear, "Think you!"
25 It's one of those things that only an Old Brown Shoe like me would catch. It always stops me, and then I smile like the old fool I have become. I might even smile all the way to my car, hop in, say to no one in particular, "Think you!", shake my head, smile again, and finally start the engine. I might even throw one more in there, for good measure.
26 I'll hear it bounce off the buildings, at least in my head.
27 It's dandy advice. Think you.
28 Moving On, Part Two: This is what happens when I watch recorded old TV shows from weeks ago. I stop watching somewhere around 9 p.m., have a cup of coffee and a few scrumptious chocolates, swirl around for a second, then realize there is a Warriors' game on.
29 I flip through the guide, hit the game, and it is blacked out in Sac.
30 That wasn't happening when I moved in, and it never happened to me in Sannozay.
31 I'm juggling too many things right now, but I'll figure this one out.
32 Last night I finally went to my old standby, TCM. By the time I got there, the only movie on began at 9 p.m.
33 The only thing to do is to put on a recorded show, and do some walking. So...I'll be back. I am a man possessed, but in a benign sport of way. We have officially time-traveled to last night.
34 My laptop is jumping letters again, and popping off for no reason. It's got the hiccups is all. I just gotta hit it upside the head.
35 Imma walk it off and be back shortly. I'm trying to stay healthy. What? Oh.
36 Think you.
37 Moving On, Part Three: Huh? The movie didn't start at nine. I misread the Guide. A new movie will happen in fifteen minutes, so that is a perfect amount of time to do some walking. I'm already close to my record yesterday, so can't wait.
38 Think you, Guide.
39 <basketball buzzer>
40 Oh...I have maintained high hiking marks with over a 5-mile daily average. The fifteen minutes went swiftly, and I finally stopped walking to listen to the introduction to the movie.
41 <yet another basketball buzzer>
42 At exactly 10 p.m. my HD channel sent word that the film was unavailable in high def. That hasn't happened to me since, well, ever.
43 I assumed the TV experienced some form of haunt, and by-passed stuff, and recorded it in un-high def, which of course, isn't even normal; it is distorted.
44 "High def" means to me that it is not all distorted. There isn't a medium ground, it either distorts, or it comes in crystal clear. Needless to say I watch everything distorted. The upside of getting old is that distorted things come in much clearer. Or you just don't give a hoot. Not sure which. Don't care. And that is the upside of getting old: not giving a hoot.
45 Think you veddy much.
46 I don't. Give a hoot. I'm like everyone else. For the record, the film is A Room With a View, and it is worth watching in HD. And I make it a point of watching everything in HD.
47 When I was young, they didn't have those two options on a remote. If I could give a visual about un-High Def and High Def, the remote would have two options:
sucky awesome
48 And yet again: Think you.

49 Hmmm.
50 Fancy that.
51 I had to attempt to trick my laptop. When I built those low-budget remote buttons, I inadvertently changed lots of other things.
52 I missed the first part of the film. Too much cooking, cleaning, and tinkering with this nonsense.
53 Sucks.
54 Gad we have butchered this language, have we not? "Sucks." That is SO lazy. I enjoy A Room With a View because it flows with clever stuff. I remember when we could lay down a much more meaningful and acerbic display than that lazy mongrel. "Sucks." Oy. People. Speak English.
55 Charlotte believes George to be a rake for kissing Lucy in a field. I think I'm caught up, Mr. Forster.
56 Ah, better. It's akin to hopping into a beastly cold shower, and the water turning slightly hot on you all at once.
57 Doesn't suck.
58 It sort of trickles down your nose and rolls off your back.
59 With that, I am for the winds. I gottago where the wind blows.
60 We have the girls over for the day.
61 We're watching Sacramento's Good Day, which is so bad that it is good.
62 It has reporters who enjoy their jobs, slam coffee, take us on 6 a.m. brewery tours, and somewhere in there manage to bring the news. Right now they are testing new Taco Bell stuff, and slamming Cheetos. It's an acquired taste. But it doesn't suck. That's the best part. It doesn't suck.
63 Morning officially in full swing. I gottago.
64 See you again.
65 Have a GREAT day.
66 Peace.
