Please Father’s day is this weekend, tell your Dad you love him.  Nothing annoys me more than the common stereotype that Father’s day is an afterthought and Dad’s don’t really care.  In fact the contrary, most of us care very much.  It does not have to be much but something to just say thanks for making sure I am ok.  Kids give him a hug, he deserves at least that.

 Here is a link from cnn.com that explains what I am talking about.

Happy Fathers Day to all of my fellow Dad’s.  Here is to another year of keeping the family afloat and making sure the house does not burn down.

I just wanted to pay my respects to my great-grandfather, Bonnie Cooper, who passed away last week. He was 102. I only met him once since he lived in Arkansas, but he lived a long healthy life and I figured he deserved some recognition.

I was listening to Crash Test Dummies today and there is a line in the song that says ” Superman never made any money for saving the world from Solomon Grundy.”  First the really geeky part.  I have been listening to this song for many years and it never occured to me till today that Solomon Grundy was an evil character of the DC universe but never fought Superman.  He was a Green Lantern villian.  So of course this sends me to wikipedia to look around.  I was kind of right.  He only appears with Superman once, but it got me to reading about him he has a very long rich history in the DC World.

So long story short this is my Ode to Solomon Grundy with this 19th Century nursery rhyme where the name orginated:
