Clock Bob

Be patient, please. I'm writing this one as we speak. Clock Bob deserves quite a bit of thought.

How do I write these posts? You ask!

I usually write them first in an xHTML editor like Dreamweaver. All of the css, javascript and xHTML can be edited there first. Then, I copy it to the Blogspot editor. I try to keep the fancy stuff to the LCD, as I have no idea what browser you are using. I test it in Firefox 3.x.10, IE 8 and Chrome, but you could be using anything else for all I know. So, it is ultimately a throw of the dice.

There you go!

Now, back to Clock Bob.

Every day, punctually at 10:30 AM, Clock Bob sits down at the far north end of the bar at the Beekman Arms. Although the bar doesn't technically open until 11:30 AM, it is indeed 'always open', and some person - the front desk person, whatever - will come and service him. He has his own mug hanging from the bar ceiling. And he always has the same ... a bottle of Heineken. He turns on the TV which hangs over the bar, always to either AMC or TCM, and watches a 40s-60s classic movie - hopefully a John Wayne one.

His favorite movies are 'Hatari', 'The Searchers' (one of mine too), 'Rear Window' (well, anything by Hitchcock), and 'The Guns of Navarone' Also, 'Father Goose' (Cary Grant) and 'Donovans Reef'

That is a fine selection of movies.

I personally love anything directed by Howard Hawks, John Ford or Hitchcock. But my favorite movie of all time - 'The World of Henry Orient'.
