"People say I'm no good, crazy as a loon..."

So I'm watching the CNN/ You tube debates last night (you know, where the Dems were lined up and answered questions sent by you-tubers, whilst Anderson Cooper moderated) and damned if halfway through I don;t see a question from THESE bozos! "Jackie Broyle" and "Dunlap" (l to r) who asked basically was all the talk about Al Gore getting in the race "hurtin their feelings?" I damn near soiled myself, cause you see "Jackie" and "Dunlap" are actually Travis and Jonathon, two very old friends of mine from HS and undergrad. The whole auditorium cracked up, except Joe Biden, who I THINK thought they were serious! AND they namechecked my old hood "Murfreesboro, TN"! Glad to see some old homies making the national scene...it does my heart proud, Both these gentlemen are actually grade A actors, and I've been involved in many a show with them. Actually, in an ironic twist, they BOTH played the role of Cole in KEELY AND DU, with a Davis rother in the directing chair (Travis for me at MTSU, and Jonathon for my bro Jerry in Cape Cod). Up until a few weeks ago, I didn't even know these fools knew each other, much less had an
act". Check out their website for some really funny shite! (Some of you will especially love the "Ray Stevens/Rick Rubin mockumentary!) http://www.travisandjonathan.com/

So good on ya, Travis and Jonathon...you've made our little hamlet in the boro proud! And if you guys wind up with an HBO show in a few years I WANT A PART!!!!!!!!!

Come see WORKING!!!!

Aren't these people BEAUTIFUL??? Don't you want to pay a reasonable amount of money and see them, and others like them , PERFORM FOR YOU????

Those of you who HAVE seen the show, feel free to take up valuable bandwidth showering the cast (and the director) with praise!

"...one needs a huggin' Lord one's on the way..."

A recent exerpt from the wife's blog:

Well our little family has a major announcement. We have been keeping the lid on for the most part for awhile, but no more. We are pregnant, expecting our second child in February 2008. That is a whopper. We are excited to share the news, although i must confess i enjoyed keeping it under wraps. A pregnancy can get pretty long and we always find out really early, so a little private time is good.

So there! If you didn't know it before, now ya do! Cat's outta the bag, and all that...the Wolverine is already talking about the "baby in Mommy's tummy" with affection, but I'm not certain he grasps the concept just yet. Hell, I'm not certain I grasp the concept just yet! Having two running around at the same time is gonna be a challenge, but one we look forward to with great joy and anticipation!

Also, HAPPY FOURTH everyone! On your day off, think a little bit about the grand nation we live in and the freedoms we enjoy. And if you set off illegal fireworks, SHUT IT DOWN BY 11! Some of us gotta get up early in the morning...
