March 2024
1. Cover - It's Spring, so a nice bright green cover was appropriate. Don't you feel happy now?
2. Prelude / Publisher's Desk - This page turned into a mess, so don't go there, unless you want to read more of Rick's dribblings and droolings.
3. Contents / Credits - You are here.
4. Calendar- If anybody wants to update the calendar on a regular basis use the contact form on Page 12 to let the publisher know.
5. Books - The Final 10 books of the 50 classic works of fiction under 200 pages. Some nice selections, all of which are available in the expanding idleguy.com library.
6. State of the World - Still a work in progress, and more than likely March will end without the Earth spinning off its axis or some mad people trying to blow it all up. Wars are so 20th century. They really shouldn't do them any more.
7. NCAA Tournament Blog - Yeah, March Madness in all its glory. Rick does much better picking winners as the field is reduced. You try picking 36 games in three days and see how well you do.
8. MLB AL Preview - All 15 teams previewed and predictions for divisions
9. MLB NL Preview - All 15 teams previewed and predictions for divisions (or, ibid)
10. Toast of the Town - Who said what, when. Find out, flip out, drop out.
11. Public Domain - Short fiction blast from the past, as usual.
12. Back Page - Actually, it's somewhat shocking that there are 12 pages this month.

The Fine Print Publisher: (Fearless) Rick Gagliano Advisors: Rick, Skye, Suki, Shelby, Sophie, Vicky, and M___ Graphics: Mostly created in house, with refinements. Some come from various places around the internet. Special Assistant Supreme War Overlord: This is a job vacancy. Qualifications include surliness, smug, condescending attitude, ability to smite foes with bare hands or pole-axe, huge ego, a fondness for ales and gals. Soy Bois, Flamers, and Metro-sexuals need not apply. TV Guru: We will always remember the orginal Downtown Magazine TV Guru Robert Giles, who passed away some time back. We are certain that Bob is espousing the virtues of 1970s re-runs with St. Peter and the angels. Photography: Too many to mention, plus Fearless Rick. Everything Else: Fearless Rick (FR) Distribution: The Internet Advertising Sales: Working on it. Installed Revive Adserver 3/25 and am testing. Dedication: This month's issue is dedicated to anybody who voted for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 and plans to do so again in 2024. The rest of you can get woke, go broke. Oh, yeah, and FJB.
