I heard this morning that Cher has signed to be the new “Catwoman” in the next Batman movie, which was to be called “The Caped Crusader.” Cher is 62…How old is that in cat years? Odds are she won’t be doing her own stunts, and a catsuit is overdressed for her. That said. People will be curious. How about bringing back some other aging villains for subsequent Bat-pics.

Ed McMahon with his patented “Johnny Chuckle” could be the Joker-In-A-Walker.

Roseanne Barr could be herself.

Mr. T could be himself.

and William Shatner could do whatever he wants.

I watch too much TV. This I know. I watch TV while reading a book. And then, along comes the Bejing Olympics. Now I REALLY watch too much TV. But there is a better way. My favorite TV series is over now and I never watched one episode live. It’s called “The Wire” and it’s a police drama based out of Baltimore. My son bought me season one for Christmas because “it looked gritty.” Between Christmas and last week, I have now watched all five seasons on DVD. And, I’ll watch them again. Best way this side of TIVO to keep tabs on my new buddies McNulty, Omar and Bubbles.

I took some time off and went back to Saskatchewan for a family reunion. My wife’s family. They should give seminars on how to get along. Seven siblings, their kids and in some cases, their kids kids. Not a nasty word was spoken. All generations behaving like a family. Everyone pitching in to help with meals, rides, whatever. I am impressed. Usually I can disrupt a group like that but they are a focused bunch. Good people. I miss them already.
