(1) Manuela Siener -- never met her, wouldn't know her if she bit me on the butt -- is on my Flickr friends list, and has been for a while. She takes the most amazing black and white photos. Her eye for abstract geometry makes me swoon. I wish I'd taken this photo.
(2) In a previous life, I was a headline writer for a daily newspaper. Right out of college, no less, when my sense of humor was a bit less ... refined, shall we say. When I'd proof the sports section, I'd try to get the word "hurls" in a baseball headline, because my sister just thought it was the height of hilarity that a pitcher would hurl -- I think both her and my sense of humor ended when "Wayne's World" hit theaters ...
I knew this man's most famous headline, or "hed" as we say in the business, but didn't know his name until I saw the obit.
"Oswald Still Dead" -- I wish I'd written that.
