May Genii

Kaufman continues to deliver early. I got mine yesterday. For those of us that suffered through the Bill Larsen regime, it is a pleasure to have a regular publishing schedule.

 

Danny Orleans has become a quality reviewer.

 

I wish Jamy Swiss would spend less time trying to impress and more time reviewing worthwhile products.




I didn’t need this on tax day

Today, the bitch that delivers our mail picked up my hard won tax return and left – a revised 1099 that changes the return.

Damn!!




Now THAT is a bad day

British Airways has lost the hand luggage of a passenger who died on a BA flight from Hong Kong to London Heathrow last week.

The luggage contained his mobile phone and address book, leaving the family unable to contact some colleagues and friends about his funeral.

Professor Joel Richman, 74, a retired professor of social anthropology, was flying back from a three-month lecture tour of Hong Kong when he was taken ill and died of congestive cardiomyopathy, said his son Saul, 41…

“His one handbag and suitcase is missing, it has been lost by BA. We can’t invite people to his funeral, it has his address book and his mobile phone. To lose somebody’s hand baggage is just unforgivable,” said Saul Richman, an airline systems engineer and former BA employee. The funeral would go ahead and they were trying to contact everyone by email, he said.




As if I had nothing better to do

I should have been finishing my upcoming post – It sounds like trick and it stands for tool – but I just haven’t been happy with the look of my last theme – So……. I sat down and did some revisions to a prior theme and am rather pleased with the preliminary results.

Let me know if you like it.

Arrogance

This quote just popped up on my home page:

Nothing can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own.

Actually, you should remove the word “young” – at least for magicians.




Winter Carnival Of Magic

Sorry for the delay. I’m still working on my review of the convention. I can’t remember when I was without the Internet for 4 days!

Scott, of Scot’s Magical Mystery Tour, has done a very detailed report. Start here to read it.

My review is decidedly less scholarly – of course.
