Musings, in random fashion
This will have no rhyme or reason, merely tidbits of things that have captured my attention lately...
In my cyber-cruisings, I found and fell in love with "Barney-cam." I actually laugh out loud and clap (something my students know I do when I'm overjoyed with amusement) when his little terrier feet scamper across White House parquet floors.

(DO be sure it's the .gov and NOT the .com!)
Mock me if you dare, but I absolutely have a weak spot for the old series, "In the Heat of the Night." My darling friend Shelly Webster found out that "Bubba" is the MAYOR of Fresno California and that brought me much merriment and mirth.

With the release of the "Superfriends" on DVD and the fact that Jonny Quest, is already out, I was poking around Hanna-Barbera sites, because REALLY, if you're over 25 and you didn't live on an izba somewhere growing up, you have to have at least one childhood memory that involves Hanna-Barbera! Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw MacGraw, Mutley, Captain Caveman, Snagglepuss (Heavens to Mergatroids...),etc....

The reading of Huckleberry Hound and the Christmas Sleigh was especially nostalgic, as I had that book once upon a time.
In a solemn switch, the Bijou theatre closed here this week, easily my favourite theatre here in town. (Since the Tennessee Theatre is closed for ren., and the Oakridge Playhouse frankly, smells like mothballs.) They had the most amazing fall lineup and I'm in mourning. Of course, I'm guessing that there will be some money hounds that buy it and re-open it, but with a different agenda, some theatre perhaps, but I'm presuming not much. VIVE LA VIE BOHEME!
OK, last bit of random tangent (for today, anyway). I've always had a fascination with the pirate life; cunning, swashbuckling, open-sea, and so-forth. And it was WAY before Depp hit the scene thank you. Jeremy found this link, I think we should all find our inner pirate.
