This guy is pretty talented, and be sure to listen to the lyrics. Addendum: The music to this piece was created and performed by moosebutter, an A-Cappella group in Colarado.
Also, the original source of this video was my friend Ray.
I changed the movie out, as no sooner had I posted this, the snow just started to fall!
Chris’s mom forwarded this to us, and it’s really cool!
A few weeks back I found a link on Paul English’s blog to a project that has mapped the FAA flight system, and presents this in a visual format. It tracks planes in the air for one day.
My favorite is this one:
Amazing.
I kid you not, this was sent to Chris by his mom. It’s cute and funny (always a great combination). Not sure how “real” it is, but for just a second think of our kid doing something like this, and figure out how you would react 
The note accompanying this follows:
For all you moms…..and people who love to laugh…
“This is my kindergartner’s artistic rendering of a pair of scissors. I wonder what his teacher thought. And I am so darned proud of myself – I allowed myself just a small smirk when I saw it. I waited until he was out of the room before I started to cry from laughing so hard!”
Well I’m no longer a Jimmy Buffet concert virgin. The crowd needs to be seen to be believed – a soccer field full of happy drunks!
Chris has been snapping shots and he will be loading these on his flickr page later tonight.
As for the concert – Jimmy sure loves his fans, and is a great entertainer!
Thursday evening, Chris and I attended Quad C Theatre’s recent production, Light up the Sky by Moss Hart. According to the Quad C site, the play
is a delightful comedy that revolves around a group of New York theatre-folk who attend the opening of their new play in Boston. The lead actress, the backer, and several others, are in seventh heaven at the prospect of a tremendous success which they hope for in the work of a young unknown writer. Gathered in a hotel room, these people go through their paces with tremendous gusto and many exhibitions of temperament. The opening of the play, which is a very earnest and experimental work, is such as to lead the cast, director and backer to believe it a flop. Instantly they turn against themselves, the production and the author… and savagely proceed to destroy themselves and all their former hopes.
It turns out, however, that in spite of the curious reception by the first night audience, the play has made a deep impression, and when news spreads that the reviews are on the whole favorable, the tables are turned. But the playwright who has suffered both from the enthusiasm and pessimism of his associates has decided that he is through with the theater, and he is captured by the backer only at the moment he is about to take a plane back home. He is persuaded to play ball with his associates, but he is so disgusted with the temperamental shenanigans of those who were presumably his friends that he now turns on them.
The play was very good — well as good as two sickies could enjoy the play. The lead character of Irene Livingston (played by Lindsay Neinast), was one of those appalling, shallow, and self-absorbed people, who would “darling” this and “bless you” that. Ms. Neinast did a remarkable job at bring this character to life, and I am constantly astounded about the quality of the productions produced by the Quad C Theatre (yes, they do spell it the correct way!). I kept thinking that her portrayal of the character was based on Katharine Hepburn’s in one of her movies (the name escapes me).
While the main part of the play was very entertaining, during the beginning of each act (there were three acts) there was kind of a keystone cops routine between the maids and some visiting Shriners attending a convention. Mildly entertaining, but a little confusing (to me at least).
The next play is in March (Don’t Rock the Jukebox)), and I’m looking forward to this live Jukebox performance.
Update: Thanks the filmography knowledge held by Brian, the movie I was thinking of with Katharine Hepburn is The Philadelphia Story.
