Interesting mind there.

Liberating a comment from spam or the trash is just part of the process. I have to find the comment, mark it “not spam” or the like, and then I have to find it again in the regular comments where it will suddenly appear, and then I have to mark it “approved.” Duplicate comments that appear I have to send back to the trash. That is part of an effort to prevent future comments from that person being labeled automatically as spam or trash. The spam filter has a mind of its own and does not explain its decisions. Anyway, I tried to liberate all your comments, but I didn’t necessarily get around to “approving” them all or deleting the extras, although I thought I had.

No, nothing so sophisticated as that, nor do I think that Roller Blades actually existed back in the days when I played street hockey and dinosaurs roamed the earth. It was actually hockey played in the street, in our sneakers, with a plastic puck, and nets that could be easily and quickly moved when the cry went out “car coming”.

Roller hockey? In line?

I presume they aren’t appearing for other people. I guess it would make sense that the spam catcher would decide to sequester the third copy of a comment.

Adderley, Desmond, and Coltrane… you missed one: Sonny Rollins. One easily could spend a lost weekend spinning LP’s from these greats.
My fav Coltrane might be Crescent, or Quartet Plays. I’m also fond of the work he did with Johnny Hartman (great for a rainy Sunday afternoon).

BTW, when I played street hockey as a youth I used the name Hackenbush on my jersey.

The blog’s algorithm knows any comment questioning the genius of Rufus T. Firefly MUST be trash! 😉

I like the guy who said, “So if I want to date a woman simply because she’s a woman that makes me, what? Female phobic?”
