Peruvian Currency
Until I saw Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull I never realized that Peru is actually a theme park.— March 20, 2009 1:04 a.m.
People-Watching
Hey, John, your voice mail box is full. Gimme a call & let's get supper together. I still have your Jeff Bridges movies. Son of Lloyd. This is probably your prettiest column yet. I had to look up "incandescent."— February 21, 2009 5:46 a.m.

The Road to Perdition
My sources tell me that putting somebody on conservatorship costs the County $6,000.00, which the County does not have, & that the only way to interest them in doing this is if the subject needs repeated hospitalizations, & therefore conservatorship is cheaper for them. My sources also tell me that somebody who is in a hospital at the time has a chance of getting conserved but if they are not in the hospital there is not much chance of it. If you wanted to push the issue please telephone the Office of the Public Conservator & see what you can do.— February 17, 2009 10:37 p.m.
The Gates of Mercy
The gates of mercy shall be all shut up, And the flesh'd soldier, rough and hard of heart, In liberty of bloody hand shall range With conscience wide as hell, mowing like grass Your fresh-fair virgins and your flowering infants. Henry V, Act 3, Scene 3— November 20, 2008 12:48 a.m.

Buck Up, for Cripe's Sake
G: Thank you for sending your question back-channel. If you don't mind, and for reasons I will explain later, I will reply to you via this column. I will pass your message on to John. As for understanding his column, please approach it like any work of drama. Identify the hero. Identify the villian. Identify the emotional tone that it creates inside you. Also, John has a good vocabulary, so keep handy a dictionary. Smiles.— October 19, 2008 1 p.m.
