Bloated Oz?

September 30, 2003

Saw “The Wizard of Oz” on DVD last week. It was in my Netflix queue and so it showed up at the house early last week and I showed it to the kids. Then, after that, I bought tickets to see the live stage show based on the movie. I took my [...]

New music: Anderson and Burns

September 18, 2003

They Call Me Uncle Jon

Okay, nobody’s called me that yet. But I recently found out that I am going to be a real uncle! My bro-in-law and his wife are with child. So congrats and prayers go out to them. It will be another exciting Spring next year.
