First, let me announce that season one of Charles in Charge  is now available on Hulu.  Charles in Charge starred Scott Baio as a live in babysitter for the Pembroke family, and ran on CBS during the ‘84-’85 television season.  It has one of those theme songs that gets stuck in your head. more about “charles“, posted with vodpod   Secondly, let’s talk history.  If season one of the show isn’t exactly what you remember (the case with my wife), that’s ...

Pictures from Germany
This is Teresa and I above the Nekkar River in Heidelberg, Germany.  Some explanation is necessary. My wife grew up as an army brat.  Her dad is from VA, her mom from PA.  She was born at Ft. Brag, NC, and lived in West Germany until age 9.  It is very difficult to tell people where she is from.  At any rate, I made a new friend on the Internet with a similar background (click to meet Era), and while sharing my story realized there were no pics from Germany on my blog.  Back then I was still ...

When I Grow Up
A Catholic school teacher was asking her students what they want to be when they grow up. “I want to be a fireman!” said John. “Oh, very good John. Community service for the Lord!” the teacher praised. “I want to be a nurse!” said Jane. “Excellent! You can be a healer just like Jesus was!” the teacher cooed. Then little Mary stood up and said: “I want to be a prostitute!” At this, the teacher fainted on the spot. After a while, she regained her senses. She marched right up to Mary and demande...

Camels on Venus
“I didn’t know there were camels on Vensus.”  That’s what the girl said, I swear to goodness.  You can’t make this stuff up.  The title of the map she was looking at, with an inset photograph, was Canals of Venice.  And that boys and girls is why we teach summer school.  Read Full Story
This Week in Celebrities
Unless you’re Lou Diamond Phillips*, this was not a good week to be a celebrity.  On Monday, Ed MacMahon passed away at age 86.  For 30 years MacMahon was announcer and sidekick for Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show.  You may also remember him as host of Star Search or the spokesperson for Publisher’s Clearinghouse.  Farrah Fawcett passed away this morning.  She was only 62.  Her career spanned some 30 years beginning in the mid 70’s.  She will probably best be remembered fo...
