100 Bottles of beer on the wall

You remember that old stupid song 100 bottles of beer on the wall. Has to be one of the dumbest ever! But has anyone ever sang it all the way down to one bottle of beer on the wall. And is there a chorus after that? I know I never sang it all the way down nor have I heard anyone sing it either. Hmmmmmmmmmmm!

Cracking the glass ceiling

I am rather sad today. Two things happened today that reminded of my youth. First Jim Mc Kay died. I grew up watching the wide world of sports. I hate sports but they always showed stuff like skiing, loge, weightlifting, etc. He was the voice of the show and the Olympics. I will miss him say "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.". He will be missed.
Second is Hillary Clinton bowed out of the race for the democratic nomination for presidency. I liked her and I have to admit I liked her being a woman. In my youth the women's movement was strong and I had hope to see someday a woman president of the USA. But as she said in her speech today "we have put cracks in the glass ceiling.". So maybe someday I will see that come true.
