Dyscalculia, Athlete, Prison Pals & The Office

"Scientists say they have isolated the area of the brain linked to the maths learning disability dyscalculia." BBC News (The next question: should this affliction bar one from running for political office?)

It's time for the periodic changing of the disc. The new winner is Tourist by Athlete. Hints of Death Cab, Coldplay, light bodied with a slight pear aftertaste...



Years ago, almost before Internet (grin), when I was just a wee lad, knee-high to a grasshopper (i.e., in college), I spent some time bantering on an ancient network called BITNET with this character. It's all a bit fuzzy, but after all these years, I ran into him again, and he still makes me laugh. In Prison Pals, Mr. Trupin takes a look at WomenBehindBars.com.

Finally, I have to offer continued praise for NBC's The Office which has really come into its own this season. It has a great cast, excellent direction. It's truly hilarious and very well done!
