It seems each week brings a two-three degree rise in the temps here in Houston. Maybe that’s a good thing, they say abnormally cool summers bring hurricanes – Alicia, Allison, Katrina/Rita and Ike all came during abnormally cool summers. So, I will post some “Hot Links” today.
1) The Kennedy Center for Performing Arts has an [...]
Last night I watched the DVD of the movie Frost/Nixon. The movie is slow paced, very similar to All The President’s Men in that aspect. The acting is really good, with veteran Frank Langella playing Nixon.
I honestly don’t remember these interviews, but of course I was only 10 years old in 1977. Few of our [...]
We got our boxes of yearbook this last week, but they are still sitting in my TV studio unopened, except one box. The will remain there until after our state testing when we hand them out on May 4. So, until then I will have to be content with finding more cool links for all [...]

Thank goodness for Easter Break. Between pre-test madness and my dental problems, I’m frazzled. Three day weekend plus a teacher work day after is just what the doctor ordered – REST. But before I chill out, there are cool links to be dished up for all. Enjoy.
1) Darren Durlach of WBFF-TV in Baltimore, award winning [...]
I spent much of the day in pain today – waiting for the dentist and then waiting for my pain meds at the pharmacy. But while I was doing all this waiting, I had several podcasts on my iPod and I was listening to them. A topic that inadvertently came up during a discussion about [...]
Not sure what is wrong with my “tooth” really my bridge – it has been hurting all day. Sometimes stuff gets caught under it. Hope that’s all it is. Until then, I’m taking my mind off it with another edition of Cool Links.
