Paying attention to your Western Lit paid big dividends for El Sid.

Am worried about you, gbl. You spend too much time on the dead and their obits.

Maybe trying to see if his own name shows up.

Every morning first thing I check the obits to see if I need to shave or not.

Is this Sid Bernstein of "Bernstein Bears" fame?

Our daughters loved them.

Our family loved the Bernstein Bears too.

YESSIR!

History my friend, history.

To understand where you are and where you are heading you need to know where you came from. It's called context.

In a generation or two someone will bring up Steve Job's name and the response will be "I didnt know he was unemployed".

general, it was actually "Berenstain Bears."

I was being facetious-pulling gbls's good leg.

I know where we came from.

And am mindful of the Santayana Principle.

In "a generation or two" I'll be pushing up the daisies.

Nevertheless trying to live thru the windshield instead of rear view mirror, although there are of course lots of great things to recall or even relive!

I know you know. Your posts are full of context.

Others? Not so much or at all.

I live looking through the windshield. Just recognizing those who we see out the side window as we blow by, as they are soon in the rear view mirror.

Really starting to realize that these days.

According to FS Detroit, they can really be a bear in settlement cases.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. I'm talking about the line of childrens books chronicling the lives of the Sam Bernstein children, depicted as bears going through law school.....

lol
