Because Erica and I are geeks….we came up with this recasting of the musical Chicago (we are using the movie as a base)
Velma Kelly — Lucy Lawless
Roxie Hart — Renee o’Connor
Fred Casely — Karl Urban (Caesar, Cupid)
Amos Hart — Ted Raimi (Joxer)
Billy Flynn — Bruce Campbell (we thought it should be Kevin Smith, but since [...]
Chicago — Xena style
Thoughts on a wedding
I spent last week in Omaha for my younger sister’s wedding. Here are a few observations about the trip.
1. I don’t like road trips like I used to. The drive to Omaha from Hobbs — all 900+ miles of it — is excruciating. Add being sick to that and it is 1000 times worse.
2. [...]
Spiders
I don’t have a personal hatred of spiders. In most cases, I will catch a spider that is indoors and release it outdoors. Spiders eat bugs.
Up until about 3-4 years ago, I had never seen a black widow spider. I saw my first one in the driveway at my house. I flipped it over [...]
Things that are odd to me
This week, in the news, has made me have the thought of how odd or how surreal more than once or made me wonder what some people are thinking.
1. I have never understood mothers who choose their criminal boyfriends over their children. This is not a new thought, just a renewed one with that [...]
Stupid or Naive?
Last night on National Geographic, I saw a repeat of an episode of “Locked Up Abroad.” It was the first episode I had seen of the show and the one that turned me on to watching it.
This episode dealt with two young American women who ended up in prison in Peru because they were [...]

The AFA took these broadcasts and boiled them down to an hour-long documentary called “Silencing the [...]

Another blow to private enterprise
eHarmony caved. That is the only word I can think of — caved. Instead of taking their chances with a lawsuit and standing up for their rights as a private business to offer services to whomever they choose, eHarmony’s leaders caved and have decided to allow homosexuals the opportunity to sign up for and find [...]
And now for something completely different
Hurricanes.
It’s officially hurricane season. Before the season even began we have already seen Tropical Storm Alma in the eastern Pacific and Tropical Storm Arthur in the Gulf of Mexico (actually these two storms made landfall in almost the same place in Central America).
I am a self-proclaimed weather nerd. My focus had always been on tornadoes [...]
gasoline
I am a bad global citizen I guess, but in the face of gasoline prices in my town nearing $4 a gallon (and I freakin’ live where they make gasoline) and prices around the country and world spiking (except in the Middle East of course where they are enjoying gas prices at just at or [...]
