]]> Comment on Someone stole my new Doc Martens! by Jonathan http://jeffreyalanmiller.wordpress.com/2009/11/05/someone-stole-my-new-doc-martens/#comment-1653 Jonathan Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:23:40 +0000 http://jeffreyalanmiller.wordpress.com/?p=3458#comment-1653 That sucks man! I love my Dr Martens and couldn't begin to imagine what I would do if they were stolen. How embarrassing to rob somebody's shoes BUT seeming they were new and not worn (much) I guess they were definitely stealable. I liked your blog entry and will be reading more :-) Jon, England.

]]> Comment on 1968: The USS Pueblo Incident by Deene Ann Ford http://jeffreyalanmiller.wordpress.com/2008/01/23/1968-the-uss-pueblo-incident/#comment-1652 Deene Ann Ford Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:14:07 +0000 http://jeffreyalanmiller.wordpress.com/?p=99#comment-1652 I worked as a maid in a small motel on Carmel Beach. It had just about 20 rooms. The nice man knew the ladies that owned it and that it had an upper scale clientele. I was there for three months to be close to my husband at Fort Ord. An author was working on a book about the USS Pueblo. The captain's wife walked by and visted the nice ladies who owned the motel. I was told to never disturb his work which of course I did not. His wife joined him for Thanksgiving. When we left he told the ladies to give me a generous tip which they mailed to me. As a newlywed and at Christmas it was gold to me and to this day I like to leave something for the motel maids. I have finished raising my children and now thoroughly enjoy reading history. I am searching for this author. I have Googled and cannot find him. I thought his name was Mark Rascovich. Are you familiar with this name?

It is such a horrible feeling to lose something. Especially when they cost as much as they did. I hope that you get them back. Take care. I am very sorry to hear that your shoes were stolen.

]]> Comment on The Honeymooners — TV comedy at its zenith by John http://jeffreyalanmiller.wordpress.com/2008/03/12/the-honeymooners-tv-comedy-at-its-zenith/#comment-1644 John Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:06:50 +0000 http://jeffreyalanmiller.wordpress.com/?p=417#comment-1644 I think the writing in sitcoms might have even gotten better over the years. The reason no sitcom has been able to quite reach The Honeymooners is because we will probably never again see comedic geniuses such as Jackie Gleason and Art Carney. Those two were simply magic, they could have made you laugh with almost no script at all. I think the writing in sitcoms might have even gotten better over the years.
