Farewell, Danny

I was in Coachella; I didn't see Corby. I was at the LINQ in Las Vegas during the draft; I didn't see Jake. I'm writing this from Phoenix.

My Ticket Confession: I Haven't Tuned in to The Ticket in Several Weeks

Not upset at any of the shows. Not tired of or bored with any of them. No wokeness issues with any of the hosts. Just seem to have better things to do at all times of the day. Two more books coming out, including a Christmas fantasy novella. Working on some songs with a Nashville talent. And, as I believe I said in my schwanz-song several months back, but if I didn't I'll say it now: Sports has plummeted on my list of budgeted interests. I realized one day that I had come to dislike: the owners; the players; the governance; the corruption and cheating; the overall entertainment value of the presentation. As it turns out, I did have a bit of inside scoop a while back: Danny's girlfriend is the sister of a major business contact of mine, so I knew that nativity was on the horizon. But personal stuff is extremely limited here unless it has something to do with the shows, so I kept it under my chapeau. I'll keep the site up as a monitored message board for at least a while longer. But I'll have little idea of what's going on with the shows unless I find the time to tune back in. Which I may. I'm an inconstant sort of chap. Also: Blogger has gotten worse and worse as a platform for this kind of thing. Thank you for shopping at My Ticket Confession.

Conrad's Back?

Did I miss an announcement? Or isn't he really back?

Happy 27th Birthday, The Ticket

And may consultants grant you many more.

 

 

Party at The Barley House?

 

I'm Out of the Loop (i.e., Missing Some Shows So May Have Missed News) -- What's the Deal with Conrad?

Urging All Confessors to Check Out the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the Southwestern Sky Tonight, Tomorrow Night (Closest Apparent Approach, the "Official" Conjunction) and for Some Days Thereafter

[And a very happy 55th birthday this day to Craig "Junior" Miller.]

 Go out 45 minutes/hour after sunset and look to the southwest for the brightest thing in the sky (other than the moon).  You might think you're only seeing one object, but look more carefully, perhaps slightly avert your gaze.  They will only be one-tenth of a degree apart -- about one-fifth the apparent diameter of the full moon.  Saturn, which is usually intrinsically bright, will be much dimmer than Jupiter.  As you can see from the chart, it's about twice as far away.  Jupiter and Saturn will in fact be over a half-billion miles apart at that time.

 Don't wait too long, as the conjunction will set not long into the night.

 Great Conjunction of 2020

 Wishing all Confessors a safe and happy Christmas.

Happy 95th Birthday, Jonathan Winters (RIP 2013)

 

And, by the way, Alex Trebek's predecessor as Jeopardy! host, Art Fleming (in my view, a better host than AT), also died of pancreatic cancer (RIP 1995).

 

Happy Birthday, John Cleese and Roy Lichtenstein

 

Classic Red Stunner, Rhonda Fleming, RIP at 97
