Friday in the News: In 2006, we learned that Dr. Thomas Harvey of the University of Kansas Department of Anatomy had custody of one of the most famous brains in the world. The Wichita-based pathologist kept Einstein's brain in two Mason jars hidden in a cardboard box. When Harvey moved to Missouri, he took the brain with him. According to Johnny Carson, it must have been Einstein's because "it was smart enough to get out of Wichita." Happy Birthday Wishes: Richard Wagstaff "Dick" Clark. The oldest bopper around, Dick Clark is still rocking after all these years. Getting his major brake as the host of American Bandstand, he later went on to host the Pyramid ...

Several of my friends love this movie and it has been highly recommended. I had planned on seeing it in the theater but did not get around to it. Thankfully, I remembered to put it into our Netflix box, because this film is well worth seeing. Set in the not to distant future in a not so jolly old England, this film struggles with the question of what is a terrorist and is terrorism justified against a one party fascist state. I really don't want to give to much away; however, I will say that, if I ever taught a civics ...

All shakes are on sale today for $3.69 (regularly $3.93-$4.62). At shop after shop, the sound of the Salvation Army bell rings loud and clear this time of year. I end up spending a bit more this time of year since I put a dollar in each one that I come across. One of the greater joys that I have found in the last year or two is the joy of giving. Of course, the holiday season is often one that focuses on giving and many charities do a large portion of their fundraising this time of year. The need is, however, is great. There are many wonderful organizations that have needs this holiday. The wonderful thing about giving to charities is that there are so many to choose from throughout the year. We've got a list of charities at home. I am going to go through the list a post two each day next week. Who knows? There might be something interestin...

I got out early on Saturday from work which allowed my wife and I to run to Bed, Bath and Beyond and pick up some curtains. After a little bit of debate, we opted for a nice blue tone. With time to spare, we set about putting up the curtains later that evening. The installation process went fairly well. Far from being just a simple household accent, these curtains are insulated and block most of the cold north draft from our downstairs window. They also double as a black out curtain and create a perfect na...

One of the things that I like about playing games at their house is that they almost always have new games of which I have not heard. The game of the night was Loot . This piratical game is a fun and easy game to pick up. Great for kids or kids at heart, you play to capture merchant ships on the high seas. If you're looking for a game for your kids that you might like playing with them, I recommend picking this one up and putting it in the stocking. Periodically, it strikes me that I am getting older even though I try to fight it. Last...
