HAPPY NEW YEAR - 2012 !

Hi folks... dear regular readers and drop-ins.  It's been a slow last couple of months for me posting here simply because I've been distracted -- and not always by the right things.  Even though I used to make fun of Twitter (see earlier postings), a friend talked me into setting up an account with the Byte-sized-Bites.  See here:  www.twitter.com/barrysmight

Tweets are good since it takes little investment in time... and brain cells, perhaps.

Happy New Year to all.  May we reduce the rate of global conflict; feed more people; reduce crime (and deal with its root causes); post more general silliness online....

BEST OF BARRY - "COSELL'S BANANAS" - ORIGINAL POSTING: NOVEMBER 5, 2007

While the kids are out playing with their new toboggan, I thought I would post a "Best of Barry" piece.  What can I say about Bananas and Howard Cosell that I haven't said before? This has proven to be one of my more popular postings (lots of hits)...

SHATNER GOES BACK TO BROADWAY

William Shatner is taking his one-man show to Broadway.  Shatner's World: We Just Live in It will be a limited run, and because of that, I'm sure, tickets will be hot.  By the way, this is not the great starship captain's first appearance on Broadway.  Before he became the big cheese of NCC-1701, Shatner was lead character "Robert Lomax" in The World of Suzie Wong, which ran from 1958 to 1959.  As a matter of fact, his costar was France Nuyen, who would appear ten years later in Star Trek's "Elaan of Troyius".

BARRY SMIGHT NOW ON TWITTER

I never thought that would happen.  Friend yesterday encouraged me to join.  He did a good job of selling.  Maybe he should work for Twitter.

Say hello...

BEST OF BARRY - "BIBLE BRITNEY READING" - ORIGINAL POSTING: MARCH 17, 2009

I understand that singer/popster/someone Britney Spears turned 30, back on December 2nd.

Well... can't let this go without some sort of celebration.  Here's a bit I wrote a couple of years ago about the famous lady...
