Surrounded by SUMO FAT!

I saw this photo in The Orlando Sentinel Newspaper today. I looked it up online to post here because I thought it was funny.

When I grow up. . .

I am amazed at how many people ask me, “is Weston going to be an actor? Is he going to be in theatre?” Granted, I am new at this parenting thing. Long before he was born, Erin and I agreed that our kids will be able to do anything they want [...]

Fresh and Full of Life!

 
CVS has a Mentos 6 pack on sale.  I couldn’t resist.
‘Doo doo doo doo, doo-doo, do-Wah!’
It doesn’t matter what comes, fresh goes better in life, and Mentos is fresh and full of life.
Nothing gets to you, staying fresh staying cool, with Mentos, fresh and full of life.
Fresh [...]

Scene Painting

The photos above are the before, during, and after pictures of last year’s production of “I Hate Hamlet.” 
This weekend, I will be spending several hours painting the set for a play at the school. I learned all about scene painting in college and had several oppertunities to practice. I designed two sets during [...]

Cereal Killer

I tried a new cereal this week: Honey Graham LIFE. It was. . .not so great. Actually I’ll never buy it again (though my wife, Erin, liked it so she may buy it again.) I like the cinnamon LIFE and the regular LIFE, but Honey? Not so great. [...]

Character is cool

I was told today that one was considered “cool” if they had the new Pokemon game.  When a corporation can make teenagers believe that they are considered cool for buying their product, that corporation has just landed themselves millions, perhaps billions of $.  The truth is that Pokemon games don’t make someone cool.  It is [...]

Difficult Days

As a major career and life-change looms in the distance for me, I find my world becoming more and more turned upside down.  At work, I will begin to wind down an aggressive, non-stop, 3-year run of reviving and re-building a dying high school drama department.  When one has been focused heavily on the goal [...]

Sad News

Our hearts and prayers go out to the faculty, students, and families of those killed today at Virgina Tech.  School massacres have been all too common in the past decade, and as a teacher, these stories hit close to home.  It is very difficult, if not impossible, to stop someone from doing this type of [...]

Murder at the Opera

One of my favorite authors is the daughter of former U.S. President Harry Truman. Margaret Truman lived in the White House during her father’s tenure as President, and brings a unique perspective to fiction writing. All of her books, set in Washington D.C., take readers on an intelligent and mysterious journey as we [...]

One’s Junk = Another’s Treasure

Today I put a whole bunch of junk on my driveway, posted a sign reading “Garage Sale” and set up my retail store. The inventory was plentiful. Among the most popular items, a red glass jar, a queen comforter set, and an electric fan. I also unloaded numerous nick knacks, and some [...]
