That's my kind of DJ

I made some music last week on my computer. This guy said he would mix it for me but he said he wouldn't be back here until the year 2045. I'd be 57 by then and the I'm pretty sure the music trends will have drastically changed. So I decided to bag the whole business arrangement. He seemed kind of shady anyway...

Talk Like Shakespear Day April 23

1. Instead of you, say thou. Instead of y’all, say thee. 2. Rhymed couplets are all the rage. 3. Men are Sirrah, ladies are Mistress, and your friends are all called Cousin. 4. Instead of cursing, try calling your tormenters jackanapes or canker-blossoms or poisonous bunch-back’d toads. 5. Don’t waste time saying "it," just use the letter "t" (’tis, t’will, I’ll do’t). 6.

If that fails, throw him in the Tower, banish his friends and claim the throne. * EXCELLENT SOURCE - YOU MUST CHECK THIS OUT! There is a neat instru...

Who Has the Largest Dinosaur Bone Collection?

Recently, I heard that Thanksgiving Point boasts the largest collection of dinosaur bones in the world. I had a difficult time accepting that claim because I grew up in Seattle, host to the great Seattle Science Center. The Center has multiple buildings dedicated to dinosaur models. Granted, the models are life-like replicas of dinosaurs and not real animal bones. But what about that other place in Utah that has dinosaurs?!  And I'm sure other place have bones.  I'm in denial. One day, I will have to accept the truth.

Becca's Brother's Dogs are Monsterous

I attended a great bbq at Becca's house for Memorial Day. Her brother owns two dogs that are humongous. Their names are Duke and Molly. Their breed is something of a mystery: One part German Shepherd, One part Lab and one part grizzly bear.

Child Labor or Midget Miners

I wish I had a sturdy pair of work clothes like these when I was young. I would have torn it up in the back yard.
