Rant #3,725: Superman

Lots to tell everyone on a variety of subjects.

The Heat: It was 104 out there when i was in my car in Bethpage, Long Island... too hot for me, with my bad allergies. 

I spent the entire day in air conditioning in one place or another, and that is the only place for me with this heat.

The Body: I went to the urologist to have another procedure. This one was as invasive as it possibly could be. That is all I am going to say about it.

No disease found ... but I have two stones in my left kidney, and they must be obliterated before they can grow and do further damage.

So I have to get them "blasted" out ... no surgery, but I am waiting for a surgeon to contact me to make a date where this can be done.

I must be "Superman," because, in the past, I have taken a needle in my eye and now, a needle in my (fill in the blank), and I lived to talk about it.

Let's get this done; the sooner the better.

The Job Situation: Right after I came home from the urologist, there was no time to waste, and I took my son to a job fair at nearby Farmingdale College.

He gave out some resumes, received plenty of the usual doubletalk, but we received some names and numbers we can access.

Hopefully, our efforts will lead somewhere, and I have to say this: in some situations, it pays to open up your mouth, constructively, and I can truly say that my son and I did just that at this job fair.

The Job Situation, Part 2: After months of waiting, we finally were contacted for an assessment, where my son will be tested related to what he supposedly can and cannot do 

The first part of this is a Zoom call this Friday morning, so at least we have the ball rolling on that, finally.

Cuomo Concedes To Mamdani in NYC Mayotal Vote: All of am going to say about this right now is that if anyone ever doubted that New York City is dead, here is proof.

A very sad state of affairs, but onto the next round.

Bobby Sherman R.I.P.: What can I say about his passing? He put out some of the best pure pop records of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and I was a big fan of his, as I thought even his earlier records were quite good.

And his hair ... he had the best hair ever, and I should know, because I have no hair (on my head, at least).

And he left show biz on his own terms, did what he wanted to do, and never looked back.

I saw him in concert once, and while his hair had turned an older shade, his voice was still there, and he seemed to be having a lot of fun, as everyone in the audience did.

Another icon of my youth is gone, but his legacy are those incredible 45s he put out.

So yes, yesterday was a day for the ages ... and yes, I feel better already.
