Another reason to love the Interwebs

So today when I was running a team-building activity (I love my job), I got a song in my head from my childhood. This is a song that has stuck with me for some reason when I think of teamwork, I think of this Reading Rainbow episode where Lavar does some AWESOME dancing. Caution, this was filmed in 1984, so be prepared for the dancing. I would really love it if for the season opener of SYTYCD, they recreated this production. I can't believe that this found its way to YouTube. In any case, enjoy:




Did I tell you or what? I'm going to be singing that song all day . . .

I Knew It!

As you faithful readers will know, we recently lost our Netflix copy of the hit Beyonce movie Obsessed. Rumors have been flying ever since as to who was responsible for the disappearance and the $14 replacement charge. We held an emergency budget committee meeting to try and decide where that extra expense was going to come from . . . not to mention the Red Box rental of said movie. Let's just say that tensions have been high around the rancho deluxe.

Then a beautiful thing happened. KT was chill-axing on the blue couch in the library. As I was talking to her, I noticed some knitting instruction sheets on the bookshelf (See top photo). Hmmm. This isn't an uncommon sight in the house due to KT's hobby, but this stack of papers seemed to be glowing with "I told you so." As I moved them aside, I discovered our lost movie (See photo). It would seem that KT had the movie the whole time in the bookcase.


It would be easy to gloat over the fact that I had nothing to do with the disappearance of this movie. I mean, it was found right in the middle of a bunch of papers I really had nothing to do with. However, I have decided instead to just post the last picture which, I believe, tells the whole story.

A Special Day

Remember what today is really about.














Richard Milhous Nixon January 9, 1913 - April 22, 1994.
Today we embark on 15 years without the greatest presidential mind in our nation's history.

Update: It has also been brought to my attention that today is Cory's birthday. Happy birthday!

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture

I have been meaning to post this for a while. There is a very inspirational video of a lecture given by professor Randy Pausch. He has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and only has a few months to live. He got the opportunity to give a last lecture and it was recorded and with the magic of the Interweb, we get to see it. You can check it out at his website HERE. It is really worth a look. If you don't want to watch the whole lecture, you can also get the transcript on the same site, but part of the awesomeness is just watching him.
