good talk

It Used to be that a Paltry 2% of the Adults in Las Vegas Gave Blood, Now It's a Lot Less than That and They Have to Get Most of the Blood Used Locally from Elsewhere, the Concern for Others Isn't So Pronounced in Sin City. What I Give Them They Don't Give Away, They Sell It for a Lot of Money. I Was Just Watching a Chris Farley Movie on TV, Guy Could Move Well for a Man of his Girth. Chris Liked to Go to Mass Twice a Week. It's a Rite of Passage to go to the Grave of Robert Louis Stevenson on Mount Vaia just Outside of Apia, Western Samoa, I've Been There, It Was Rough as It Had Rained Recently, Took Me an Hour and a Half. A Couple of Old, English People Whizzed Past Me Like I Was Standing Still, They Did It In an Hour. RL Stevenson Said That in Relation to People's Personalities It's More Like Two. Pope Pius IX Had the Longest Pontificate, 1846 to 1878, 32 Years. If A Cardinal Displeased Him He'd Make Him Kiss His Shoe, That'd Put You in Your Place. You Have to Wonder if Bobby Fischer Would Have Gone to Iceland Had He Known They'd Let Him Be Dug Up, Doing That to a Man of His Stature. An Off-the-Wall Type Guy Who Ranted Against Jews Even Though He Was Half, Genius is Often Flawed. This Country Gave One of Their Most Esteemed Persons a Bum Deal By Harassing Him About Breaking the Trade Embargo With the Former Yugoslavia by Playing in a Chess Tournament There in 1992, Who Wouldn't Do That for 2 Million Dollars. Made This Poor Man an Outcast from the Country He Had Represented So Well. The Common Goal in This Country is to be Bland, to be Like Everybody Else. Steve Kerr Played in the NBA from 1988 to 2002 and is the All-Time Leader in 3-Point Percentage. Usually a Substitute He'd Bring in Instant Points, It's Said That Anyone Can Take a Jump Shot but Not That Well. Steve Played on 5 NBA Championship Teams in His 13 Year Career, 3 with the Bulls and 2 with the Spurs, After Retiring He Became a TV Analyst and Most Recently General Manager of the Phoenix Suns. Steve Kerr was Born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1965, His Parents Being Malcolm and Ann Kerr. They Both Were the Children of Academics at American University in Beirut and They Were Also This with Malcolm Kerr Becoming the President of American University. In 1982 Malcom Kerr Was Assassinated by a Member of Hezbollah near his Office on Campus Despite Him and His Family's Love of the Middle East. I Was in Beirut in 2004 and Was on the Campus of American University and Mentioned Steve Kerr's NBA Career to a Professor, a Christian Arab. He Said Ann Was Telling Me About That, Were You Just Talking With Her? I Said I Don't Know Mrs. Kerr.
