We got our fifth big snow strom in a month yesterday. It put our snow pack at about four feet since December 20. I really, really, really want to be somewhere else.

You'll See Me at the Show

I just bought tickets to the The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. After being told to go to New York to see it for the last two years by Terry Teachout. The smart people who produce the play decided to bring the show to me. I must say I'm a little excited.

What do I expect from the 70s?

One of my weird quirks is my love for hippie movies, although I hate all things hippy (and 1960s baby-boomer). I don't mean to say that I like the movies or think they are any good, but they are always worth a watch just for the unintentional humor they give. Movies like Easy Rider, Jesus Christ Super Star, M*A*S*H, even Fear & Loathing in Los Vages. They are all just so damn ernest, and that is what makes them so bad.

I just saw the be all and end all of hippe movies. Brother Sun, Sister Moon. If you don't know, it is about how St. Francis of Assisi was the first hippie. And he wanders around the Tuscan hills guitar in hand, pressing flowers to his heart. It is one of the most campy (in both senses of the word) movies I have seen. Check it out, and be sure to have a lot of wine when you watch it ... you're going to need it.

I knew this would happen someday

A video of me showed up on Youtube, and the tags are 'drunk' and 'log'. I just hope this is taken down and all forgotten before I run for Congress.
