Michael Mlinar is part of an odd cast of characters? Really??

From yesterday's Greenwood Today web site: 

Greenwood Country Club Premieres Mystery Dinner Theatre

"This is very different for Greenwood. We really need to do more stuff like this. It is kind of out of the box and fun and attracts a lot of different age groups," said Cathy Stuckey of Greenwood, who attended the performance. The play is about an Egyptian Pharaoh's tomb discovered on the Nile River, which becomes the object of desire and a resulting murder aboard a ship.

 

It is up to an odd cast of characters to uncover the murder of one of their own. The cast featured Bess Parks as a French maid named Esmirelda White, Richard Whiting as Zelda Lavish, Tracie Luquire as Princess Tara, Michael Mlinar as Professor Dobson, Richard Greene as Joe, Randy Walenceus as the victim/Inspector.

Way to go, Mike! Your fans are cheering for you.

Bring Back The Funky Stuff!

My good friend, Paul Crutcher, is quite a guy. He's a Christ-Follower, multi-instrument musician, a film maker, and recently he became the first station manager at XLR Radio at Lander University. And he is a busy guy.

In fact, Paul is so busy that he has let is award winning blog, Paul's Funky Stuff, fall of the face of the earth. Because of this, the earth appears to be slightly off its axis. This does not seem right. This is where you come in, my friend. I believe with a bit of encouragement we can get Paul back on track. Here is what I am suggesting:

For every person person in every photo that you send me with this attached Download Bring Back The Funky Stuff sign I will donate $2 to Partners in Health for Haiti Relief Aid and I will donate .50 help fund Paul recovering his web site address. I will post all submitted photos in several intervals. This offer expires in two weeks (Feb 8).

Come on, the clock is ticking! Help me. Hurt me a little! It's up to you. I need 20 responses to fund Paul and even more responses will help Haiti! Let's do this thing!

It's a Blues Monday

Leave It To Cleaver

Little Brother Travis was in town the past several days to work here out of the corporate office. Yesterday after lunch I swung by the restaurant supply store and picked up a meat cleaver from my guy Dru to give to Travis. I hooked T up before he left to head back to Roswell, GA.

Travis received a Big Green Egg for Christmas and he has been reporting on some of his results. He has become a convert of this grill and has started collecting a few accessories. I knew he did not have a cleaver and every real BBQ guy needs to have one in the equipment bag.

So after I gave Travis the cleaver we were talking about accessories and I asked if he had cooking gloves. He did not, so I told him to go to Tractor Supply and pick up some welder's gloves because they are cool and cost way less than "official" cooking gloves. He said he would be stopping by to do just that.

Then Travis added that he could hardly wait to walk into the house when he returned home wearing the welder's  gloves and holding the cleaver to which he would say, "Honey, I'm home. Where is something I can hit?". I don't care who you are, that's funny.
