It's Friday...the day to kick back and just let it happen. As my favorite shrink, Dr. Sidney Freedman would say, "Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, take down your pants and slide on the ice." In that spirit, it's time for FFF. A collection of unconnected musings from my twisted little top and also from famous folk and important folk like you. You are always encouraged to contribute to FFF. Just send your stuff to "rdefranco@wwnytv.net" or send your goodies as a comment to this web page. Now, fellow cyberspace traveler...we're off!

Still could manage a smile
It just takes awhile
It just takes awhile"
--Jimmy Buffett, "A Pirate Looks at Forty"

So that's the problem with my house budget. I earn for five days a week and spend for seven.

"Every time you flush, an angel gets its wings"--Graffiti from a Watertown restaurant restroom wall.

I read that there are more than 520,000 deer related traffic accidents every year in the United States. And by my count, 519,000 happen in NNY.

A new study has just been released that says movie theatre popcorn is really bad for you. The study claims a medium size bag of theatre popcorn has over 1100 calories and 60 grams of fat. Is this really a surprise? Take a look at how saturated the bag is after you swallow the last kernel. There’s enough grease left to lube a tractor trailer.

Okay, I don’t want to get off on a rant here, but people are so freaked by the swine flu, They are getting me sick from the smell of the 18 gallons of hand sanitizer used every day at the TV station.
