My old friend Paul English makes it onto the front page of The Boston Globe today (yeah, I know we're not supposed to care any more) for a service on his site: He lists how you break through the phone automation to reach the human operators at 100+ companies. (To me the real news is that Paul is 42. Forty two! And not in any "the meaning of life" way. Wasn't he just 28? And when Doc writes "It's November, dammit. Wasn't it just March or someting?," I want to reply: "November's not a problem, Doc. 2005 is a problem. Wasn't it just 1983?" Ah, yes, an old fogey response...but not as olg-fogey-ish as the conversation I had with my lovely mother-in-law this summer in which we tried to remember exactly how many hip replacements she's had.)

Did you know what when calculating the numerical value of the word Google as written in Hebrew you get 42...?

If you want to get into this old fart stuff about where the time has gone, would somebody please tell me what happened to 1968. I seem to have missed it completely.
