HEHE… much to a friend’s chagrin, I have entitled my first post with my new them after one of the signature numbers from the musical, Chicago. From what I gather, the producer for our community theatre’s production of the musical was fond of using the phrase whenever he could. (“This show is full of razzle […]

This weekend has been one of the busiest but most fun I have had in sometime. It all started Thursday night when a group of us met at the theatre to practice singing the songs we had selected for our concert on Saturday night. I did not get to practice mine because circuits got crossed

I like to play with computers. Both hardware and software. I like to take them apart and then put them together again. My first computer was one I put together from bits and part. I’ve added this and that, played with software and hardware. And since I work in the computer field, it is like
My wife had chinchillas for pets. She worked in a pet store and brought home many rescue chinchillas from owners who no longer wanted them. Today the last rescue chinchilla died. We’ve been calling her old lady for at least the last 6 years. Our best guess on her age would be 18 years. Not

The past week and a half in our house has been awful. It all came to a head last Friday when our two-year-old got sick in the car. Last weekend, when she wasn’t sleeping, she was throwing up or in the words of Chandler, played by Matthew Perry on the tv show Friends, “visiting a

There has been much drama about it since Christians are of course supposed to reflect Christ and show Christ-like behavior at all times. The principal of the winning school

Every few years, it seems that people are worried about an Armageddon date. They chose some sort of date based on something and promptly report it to the media as the date the world will end. Nine years ago now, it was Y2K – do you remember how many people built shelters, stockpiled canned food

While we’re on the military theme (see last post), I should mention yesterday. I subbed at the school with the ELL troubles, right next door to that very room. That was enough to turn a bad day into a much better one, in other words- no problems. It was all eighth grade this time, and

At least one of us here at tangents have made posts about the odd names celebrities and everyday people have given their children. I say if we find more, why not post those as well. Unless you live under a rock, you know of the quartet of Frank Zappa’s offspring (Diva, Ahmet, Moon Unit, and

The continuing saga of Illinois’ embattled governor just keeps getting more and more interesting. As his impeachment trial opened yesterday, Rod Blagojevich took to the tv airwaves to defend (?) himself. I saw clips of a few of his tv appearances, and that’s why I included the little question mark above. It didn’t seem to
