t wonders if he should start a virgin birth/immaculate conception clarification discussion

t again

(change of gears cuz I am a lil ADD). DUDE!!! Did you hear what the White House staff did for the Obama girls last night?!? They did a scavenger hunt to teach them some of the history of their new home! And it ended with some teen boy band I never heard of. How cool is that!!!???!!!

Also, love, Love, LOVE the new Executive Orders on ethics, lobbying, and FOI act stuff.

I thought of you tonight, omnis, when I was at the new gospel version of Jesus Christ Superstar [link] There were at times about 50 singers on stage, all miked and all wearing white clothing, as well as a 10-piece band. It struck me as designed to drive the sound people to drink.

The Jonas Brothers, Omnis. Teaching keeps me young. Or ages me prematurely. Depends on the day. Either way, I love that they did a scavenger hunt for the girls. It must be kind of exciting, thinking about having kids in the Whte House again.

The Jonas Brothers. [link]

(They really amuse me, since they quite clearly dress/style the three boys so that there's one "good boy," one "bad boy," and one "alternative/hip" boy.)

I wonder if they would post the scavenger hunt on line, like a virtual one, game if sorts, so others can learn about the cool history stuff. (what? Me? History geek? Ok, just a little).

50 mics?!?! Just the RF setup alone is a nightmare! Is this a tour? That complicates thing 100 fold, as each city has it's own RF challenges. Ya, my crew would not be able to handle that.

{{{Kristin}}} I am so sorry about Olivia.

Shir is beautiful. And she has a cute lunchbox.

Thank you, Dr. T, for not judging me by the size of my hips.

The nurses at my doc's office always put out a large speculum based on, I assume, my less-than-dainty size. My doc always looks at me and then at the speculum and says, "Oh, this won't do. You need a much smaller one." I love my doctor.

The Pastor (actually I don't recall his official title. Bad secular sound man, no cookie) said something to the effect "you have to believe every word that is written, or you believe none of it.

My evangelical mother told me that I wasn't saved because I don't believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible. And, she actually likes me and loves me, but it struck her so hard that I think it slipped out of her mouth. Gotta love being told you're going to hell by your mom.

Y'all, this past week has been very difficult and I foresee it only getting worse before it gets better. At this point, I can't really get into details. I will be able to later, but not now. All kinds of work~ma would be welcomed wholeheartedly.

ChiKat, tons of work~ma your way. As well as a gentle, supportive hand on your shoulder.

I'm serious. I just counted in the program. There's a 30-person choir and 20 or so singing characters (Jesus, 12 Apostles, Mary Magdalene, Herod (dressed as a pimp with a dazzling purple and gold cape), Pilate, and a couple of Romans. Only the bad guys got color. The good guys and the choir wore white, although sometimes the choir had colored scarves, apparently to show when they were EVIL. They had red scarves when they were chanting "Crucify him."

It's premiering at the Alliance. I'd think they'd have to do some trimming for touring.

Also, the band was on the stage in back, on a platform that would split apart for some scenes while the band played on.

I'm now earwormed with the Jonas Brothers. "I never thought that I'd catch this love bug again." I blame omnis.
