One of the things that made my closed-captioning job tolerable: my co-worker Mike's various rants and pronouncements. Here are 10 minutes' worth.

This is the earliest game show I have a distinct memory of watching: "The Cross-Wits," which in 1979 was airing weeknights at 7:30 on Channel 13 in Tampa.

But I remember it in black-and-white -- we didn't have a color TV yet.
