When I was a younger man I could eat mass quantities of Pizza, I'm talking about order three large with my brother and finishing all of it.
Now I'm a bit older and I find that while I want to keep eating, I can't..... I filled up about half way through one pizza.
I don't think I'm going to handle this getting older thing very gracefully.

Is Lewis Black the funniest man alive right now?
For my money, contemporary comedians just don't come any funnier than
His humor is political and topical. His observations are brilliant and his delivery and timing amazing.
Buy a DVD , get a cd, or watch him somewhere on cable. This guy is the real deal!

His observations are brilliant and his delivery and timing amazing.

DVD Review: The Dick Francis Mysteries
From Koch Entertainment
Ian McShane stars in this british made series baedon Dick Francis' books. This set includes McShane as jockey club investigator David Cleveland in IN THE FRAME, BLOOD SPORT, and TWICE SHY.
McShane is wonderful in this role as an investigtor who knows how to handle himself. The stories are intelligent and written for people who don't mind thinking a little as they watch TV.
The first episode opens with a house exploding killing a woman inside, David's friend is a suspect and he pitches in to help clear him. When his friend and the friend's business partner find thier homes have been emptied of all possesions the case takes a different slant. Cleveland follows the case to Germany to track down the people behind the killing and the theft.
In Blood Sport the case is a not so simple horse thrft. The insurance company is ready to pay out, but the owner thinks the horse is still alive and wants him back. Enter David Clevland on a trip to the Canadian Rockies to track down the thieves.
Twice Shy opens with a murdr of a computer wiz who is killed rock climbing. Things start to get muddled as Clveland discovers the real motive for the killing.
Ian McShane is great in this role, and fans of his work as Lovejoy will really love it. And at almost 5 hours, this is a lot of viewing for the buck. Filled with twists and surprises this si a set for any fan of British mysteries.

DVD Review - The Wild Wild West:Season One
When I was a lad and spent my days in school I waould always rush home every day. Did I miss my Mother? Not too much. Was I starving? Not really. I needed to get to the television. Wild Wild West came on every day at 4:00.
Well I need rush no more, because the folks at Paramount are putting The Wild Wild West out on DVD. Season one is available now.
Originally airing from 1965 to 1969, The Wild WIld West, starring Robert Conrad, is a show that is set right after the Civil War, and Conrad's character, James West, answers directly to President Grant. He is undercover on his own train working for the Secret ervice to keep the west free of plots and madmen. He has as many gadgets as Bond, though because of the era they aren't as sophisticated. He is assisted by Ross Martin in the role of Artemus Gordan, a master of disguise.
The first season is in Black and White, though later seasons would be in color. The very first episode we see West trying to stop a crazed madman from Mexico from chasing out settlers and reclaim New Mexico. The episode is called Night Of The Inferno and co stars Susanne Pleshette who would later go on to marry america's favorite psychologist on The Bob Newhart show. All the shows were titled with "The Night of..." and my favorite of this season is The Night of The Druid's Blood. Evil Magicians, mad scientists, it's all in a days work for our heroes.
This show is loads of fun as the two make their way across the west doing whatver they can to preserve freedom and Democracy. And they go up against some really great bad guys. This really is wonderfully fun television.
The set is extra nice with intros from Robert Conrad and interviews with writers. They have the original "lost" opening, photo galleries and more.
This western espionage has been missing from the shelves and I for one am glad it's finally out. Don't bother with the updated movie, get the original.
28 episodes for a total of over 22 hours of viewing, completely remastered.
