My sister in law Karen shared this video from The Ellen DeGeneres Show — "Andy and Amy's Haunted House" — in the comment area on my previous post. While I watched Amy and Adam go through Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights, Mark caught my reaction on camera and...
The chipmunk noise in this video was recorded on our front doorstep a couple of years ago, but we have the same situation in the backyard today. After weeks of air conditioned cabin fever during the Heat Wave of 2011, the windows are finally open here at the...
Among all the John Lennon tributes yesterday, a friend of mine — Stripwax creator Jeff Moody — posted a link to a YouTube video featuring one of the Beatles' wackier departures, "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)". This, in turn,...
