It's August.

A year can be a long time.

365 generations of fruit flies are born and die in a year.

That’s, coincidentally, is also the number of husbands Brittany Spears goes through in a year.

It's also how long I’ve been writing Hollywood Daze.

I don’t know what’s sadder. You fine people taking the time out of your busy day to read this blog or 365 fruit flies "kicking the bucket".  

It’s the last few days of a Wisconsin August and it hasn’t yet dipped below freezing yet. You readers back in the Midwest would consider it downright balmy. In L.A. it’s considered cold outside if you can’t fry eggs on your hood.

We live in such different worlds. For the past year I’ve been writing about life in L.A. compared to the Chilton I remember. Chilton as I’ve wanted to see it. Perhaps needed to see it. But what is Chilton really like after all these years? I'm sure many of you reading this have hometowns that have changed dramatically since you lived there. If it wasn’t for all the blogs I wouldn’t know about such events as the 5KCheesehead Run in Hilbert. Now where else in the world can you see thousands of Cheeseheads running for a good cause? I can’t help but wonder what the sight must look like from an aerial view. A long, weaving and bobbing yellow snake winding and pointing towards a distant finish line.

August is the month in Hollywood to watch sitcoms being taped. I’ve been to at least a dozen of them and  I recommend comfortable underwear. You'll be sitting for at least 5 or 6 hours. The scripts are crisp and the actors fresh out of rehab. If you ever come out here in the fall make it a point to take in a sitcom. It’s free. Take some show biz memories back home. Meet a few stars. Just remember what I have said before; actors are much shorter in person and movie actresses are never as beautiful in person as they are on the big screen. If they were beautiful in person they’d be hookers. Never forget that.

I heard through the grapevine there were a couple of blog readers this past year who were upset over certain comments of a religious nature I might have made. Let me clear this up. I have nothing but the utmost admiration and respect for all religious convictions. It’s our nature to question everything. Tax our minds. Our imagination. After all, if God didn’t trust our judgment He wouldn’t have created Free Will and the Spice Channel.  

I hope this blog has both entertained and amused most of you this past year. (I only hope the others never learn where I live.) I wish every one of you all the best. No matter where you live or where you came from.

Everything has a Beginning and an End; except, unfortunately, for taxes and Rush Limbaugh.

This month marks a full year of blogs and I feel I have bored you enough. I can still be reached at                          Hollywood Daze  

just in case any of you owe me money.
