Why I Miss "Connections"

 Back when computer games were a hoot, James Burke put out a two disc set based on his television program, "Connections."  I spent a weekend playing through the whole thing, felt completely fine that it also expanded my appreciation for just about everything scientific.

Of course, that was in the days of Windows 95, and the "improved" Windows 10 is utterly incapable of understanding how to run the game, so I am left with just the small-resolution video bits that peppered the experience.  This is one, particularly of interest to those with pharmacology occasionally cluttering their minds:

KevHead #7 - Such as the set exists, 1991ish

Here is the final KevHead, with errors intact.  It is shorter than previous editions, representing the exhaustion of the available funds from the initial setup of the KevHead fan club.  As a result of finances, even postage was unavailable for its distribution, so it existed only in mock up with the usual, literal, cut-and-paste method of pre-digital layout.  The template of a newsletter was intended to promote upcoming concerts and appearances for Kevin at WLUP.

The ultimate absorption of the parent radio station into an ESPN network and a realignment of the target demographic by Kevin's corporate owners resulted in his ultimate return to Grand Rapids, Michigan for the morning slot on his breakthrough station, WLAV-FM.

And so it goes.....

KevHead #4 - still more from 1991

A quarter of a century, and these things are still in a box, unmolested by mice.  Either they are respectful of these scraps of paper, or they just have better taste in chewing material.

There is no KevHead #5 in the box, however.  I'm absolutely unsure what happened with that one. It might have just been a collection of photos from his Jim Shorts Golf Outing that spring.  All that I seem to have are just little scraps and handwritten layout pages.

But here is Number Four!!!

Pharmacists Never Retire....




"Oh that's just Charley. He died five years ago but
nobody's had the heart to tell him."

  When I graduated in 1978, I was given a diploma, and with a hearty handshake from the Dean for Pharmacy, was told the Secret Of The Profession: "You'll never retire, and it's all aspirin."
