Came across this article while catching up on my reading and thought of most, if not all, of us.

"Border Collie Attacks Pumpkin"

I was watching this video with my kids and thought you all might like the trip down memory lane. I found myself chuckling when Sean asked what a "lavatory" is.

went to Florida and saw Chip. Also, here's a picture of Isadora with Chip's kids Adrienne and Jerome. Adrienne has become Dora's favorite friend in the world.

Jezebel.com paid $10,000 for an unretouched photo of Faith Hill in order to compare it to the same photo, retouched, on the cover of redbook magazine. Jezebel then creates animation of the changes between the two pictures and does a point-by-point breakdown of what was retouched. Clavicles? Personally, I'd keep them in. Interesting to see how these things are done. Maybe we really ARE as beautiful as the stars!

Anyone know where this quote is from?:
"You can judge a culture by the way it treats its women."

Or something like that. I Googled it and got a Rastafarian website and a link to a website about deserts and patriarchy.

Thanks.

This made me laugh until cola came out of my nose. And the weird thing is that I wasn't drinking anything....

"Not my daughter, you bitch!"
from Chapter 36.

Since we're thinking back to downtown Indiana, here's a question: what's your favorite downtown business that's not there anymore? And why?

And so have YOU! ...not that we need to know where the singles are or anything...

I can't believe this idea is ten years old already!

Link in title helped clarify that Scientology, acting, LA, celebrity nexus.

We had birthdays this week of two very important people, Ginger on July 8 and Eric on July 10.
Both of them clearly knew how to enjoy themselves in youth, and continue to delight those around them in pre-middle age (you heard me). Happy Birthday, guys!

A story about a completely nude production of MACBETH. Ian, I think if the audience members leave at intermission you don't have to give them their money back. But I guess the 'skeeters would be hell on the actors....

I'd personally like to see a nude production of the following plays (I think it would revitialize my interest in the so-called classics and take some of the yawns out of the warhorse shows):

• Hedda Gabler
  
• You Can't Take It With You
  
• The Cherry Orchard
  
• Trojan Women
  
• Long Day's Journey Into Night
  
• The Glass Menagerie
  
• The Importance Of Being Ernest
  
• Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
  
• Hamlet
  

And of course Dick 3 (aka Richard The Third).

Part of yesterday's Live Earth festivities...click on "Backstage with Spinal Tap" for their take on things.

So I was browsing around recently and stumbled across a Homer City web site. Yeah, i was shocked as well. Anyway, what caught my eye was an anouncement of their annual Hoodlebug Festival, which is today - July 8th. After reading a bit, I find it is a festival named after the rail trail that links Indiana and Black Lick.

What I find most amusing, in a high school nerdy kind of way, is that the real Hoodlebug never rode on the railroad that is now the rail trail through Homer City. The real Hoodlebug was a gas powered rail car (think of a large bus on rails) that traveled between Punxy and Indiana in the 1930s and 1940s. My cousin Trevor used it to commute from his home in Punxy to take classes at the Indiana Normal School.

So there ya go. Stump your friends and when in Homer City, call their bluff!

Clockwise from top: Nell, Jane, Kim, Tim

We met in Ellicott City. I made Nell, Tim, Kim, Jane and Kurt come to my office and watch me work. Next month I'm hoping to have Joe Pino and Jeff Magee come watch me order water from deer park




There's no free lunch around here. I asked them all to pitch in with strike. In return, I gave them each an 8% discount on CSC t-shirts.
