What I Learned from the News
-- From Newsday:
Elderly people who expended more energy in their day-to-day routine, running errands and doing household chores, lived longer than those with more sedentary lifestyles, according to a new study.
Yeah, Grandpa, now take out the trash -- and clean the gutters while you're at it.
-- From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer on teen-celebrity merchandising:
"The minute I saw them, they looked like a brand," said Susan White, brand manager for the Sprouse twins. She met them in 2002 and signed them as clients a year later. Last year, she introduced them to Dualstar, which forged an exclusive relationship as part of an overall goal to develop other personalities.
I felt like taking a shower after reading this paragraph. A shower of fire.
-- A quote from Davy Jones, formerly of the Monkees, on the possibility of a band reunion:
"I would not work with those guys again if my life depended on it," Jones recently told Scripps Howard News Service.
I guess he wasn't too busy singing to put anybody down.
