Comments: Lynell, I also watch "Mad Men". When I watch that show, it reminds me how much society has changed in regard to woman's working rights. They still have abortions but they no longer have to sneak around and have some quack do it. Also, our attitudes about smoking have changed. and finally women no longer have to put up with sexual harassment in the work place.
Comments: My fave cooking show is Good Eats, with Alton Brown. He is a hoot, and so educational. I like HGTV, too, but David says it gives me ideas. My very fave is Mad Men, and March 25 is the start of Season 5. I'm totally hooked.
Comments: Oops, Lynelle, thanks for letting me know who Ben and Courtney are. The premise of that show is too far-fetched for me. Don't they have a Bachlorette program also? One of the morning DJ's on KLUV was on some reality show a while back and said it was totally scripted and the most boring thing she had done.
Comments: Ginger, I think GCB is too funny. I watch Army Wives right before GCB and really like it. I have never watched the Bachelor, but I do watch some reality TV. I watched Survivor when it first came on, but quit after a couple of seasons. I hate to admit that I'm becoming a frequent viewer of the Food Channel. I love Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Chopped, and Restaurant Impossible. I caught a new one (for me) three or four weeks ago about America's worst cooks and it is pretty funny. I figure you can only watch so much Wheel! I tried to watch DWTS last night, but I'm reading a good book and only caught part of it.
Comments: I second that motion/question, Sharon. I don't watch that stuff.. No-Brainers.... Did I misspell 'no-brainers'..? Oh well, Big Brother, Survivor, The Biggest Loser...etc. etc. Now, I am tuning in to the GCB..at this point. Mainly, to see what Annie Potts does every week.. Ditzy, Dallas Women.. and the way they throw religion around.. Tis funny, however..The second and third week have been better than the first.. It's still outrageous.. but I know it is.. That's the point.. I quite like the way they throw religion around..some of it's true and it helps put it in a different light..   Hilarious, ditzy, and goofy..anyway.
Comments: Sharon, Ben was this season's Bachelor. His family owns a California winery, and they appear wealthy. Courtney was a contestant -- a mean but pretty girl. Ben picked her possibly because of her willingness to skinny dip for the cameras. Amazingly, the relationship does not appear to be going well. Ben had a goofy hairdo and an unusual look. Most of those girls would have looked past him if they had not been on that stupid show, and then they were all in "love" with him. Courtney teetered around with a glass of wine in her hand and said "Winning!" out of Ben's presence. Other girls tried to warn Ben, but he was smitten. Sometimes people deserve what they get.
Comments: Who the heck are Ben and Courtney?
Comments: Puhleeze, JS. Ben and Courtney deserve one another. They will be so so happy. I can't believe you have such little faith in young love. Good luck with your diggings.
Comments:
Bill, on the Spike TV network there is a new show starting tomorrow called "American Digger". Here's a preview:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP0j6S9jZMU
A couple of weeks ago National Geo TV started airing a similar show simply called "Diggers". I saw the pilot episodes and it was entertaining. However, both programs feature some rowdy guys who are treasure hunting but are putting the hobby in a bad light.
Already the Archeological Society has started petitions to have both programs taken off the air. Their argument is that metal detector folks are merely "looting" historical artifacts without regard to documenting exactly where they were found and their condition etc.
Of course the modern day field of archeology is little more than "organized looting" itself and at the end of the day they want the goodies left in the ground for their own later benefit.
I, myself, am scheduled to go loot some artifacts in Mt. Pleasant next week.
Comments: Hey John, I saw previews of a new show last night (I was watching The Frozen Planet on Discovery) about guys that search for treasure with metal detectors. Sorry but I didn't get the name of the show.
Comments: Joseph Carl Ondrusek went to Adamson. He was an ROTC Officer in '62. Don't know where he went in his younger years.
On to more important matters ... whatever shall I do with my Monday evenings now that Ben & Courtney are no longer on TV?
Comments: Joe and Carl Ondrusek are in the news in Dallas over their Columbia Packing Company allegedly discharging pig blood into a creek directly leading into the Trinity River. My sister Diane (SOC '62) and I have this nagging feeling we went to school with them, either at SOC or Holmes. Can anyone with a better memory -- or access to the annuals -- clear this up?
Comments: Drat it, Bill. You're so right. I didn't realize till the second I posted it. Maybe I had too much green beer.  
Comments: Now you've done it! Hot tubs teeming with young ladies will just get JS stirred up.
Comments: We went to the Greenville Ave. St. Patrick's parade for many years before it became popular. It used to be hilarious, with the Irish setter drill team, the men's lawn chair drill team, and a few businesses with pickups turned into floats. About 15 years ago it started to draw huge crowds and floats like Budweiser 18-wheelers, and flatbeds from nudie bars with hot tubs teeming with young ladies. I did, however, go to a great private party. Everyone's Irish on March 17.
Comments: Went to annual St. Patricks day party at my neighbor He played bagpipes and he was accompanied by piccolo Green beer Jamieson's pies and cakes
Comments: Don Navarro(Boude Storey and Adamson) put a picture and article up on FB about the Greenville Ave Parade.. Hope it was fun..
Comments: I didn't see a parade, but went to a St. Patrick's Day cocktail party at 6 tonight....just an excuse to have a party!!!! It was fun!
Comments: Did any of you go to the St. Patrick's Day parade today? I accidentally got stuck in the traffic as the parade was breaking up. All the possible roads to cross Greenville were blocked by the police. It took me an extra hour to get home. I don't think I have ever seen such a big parade in Dallas. The color "green" was everywhere.
Comments: Sara and I are working with the Wings of Freedom Tour....presently at Dallas Love Field, Frontiers of Flight Museum. We're showing our B17, B24, and P51...and rides are available...come see us. Will be in the Houston area soon...check the schedule.

Comments: Thank you for my birthday wises. As Lynell's card said: Why get upset about something that happened such a long time ago? haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Comments: I didn't know Greg Melaun, only Janet and Fred. I didn't know Fred had passed. There had to be other music majors, out of our group. There were so many of us at Harrell Budd, that took piano. Boys and Girls. Tommy McGown was one but I don't think he was the only one. He graduated from Rice and not in Music.(also Adamson) Those were different times and a 'well rounded education' that included music lessons was a part of our education. Fred Melaun was a drum major at SOC, I remember. There's a nice slide show of Greg Melaun on the Restland Memorial site. I recognized one picture with Janet in it..
Comments: I glanced at the obits a few minutes ago and saw that Janet Melaun's brother, Gregory Paul, passed away May 11. Funeral is at Restland tomorrow. Thinking of Janet, it really hit me how many music majors there were in our class. Must have been something in the water! Besides Charlotte, Gaylan, Ginger, Mary, and Janet, I wonder how many others. Must be some guys in there too.
Comments: Birthday Greetings to the Queen of Nelsonville! (Named after Ricky Nelson?). Go pick some bluebonnets and have some cake!
Comments: Today is Albert Einstein's BD..too. How did you do that, Charlotte..?
Comments: It's okay to be 67.. I've been 67 for 4 1/2 months.. Happy BD..Charlotte......!  (onward to 68...!)
Comments: Happy, happy birthday to Charlotte and many, many more.
Comments: Happy Birthday, Charlotte Anders S 
Comments: John, I enjoyed viewing your and Dru's friends video. I appreciated Bill's comment about sub-developments. They waste a huge amount of building materials. I have always resented how most new developments clear off every tree and leave the land bare. I remember years ago Austin had a lady who did a TV show called "Trash to Treasure". She did amazing things using materials that had been discorded. I thought the video that followed on the scarcity of drinking water was informative. We forget that our resources are finite.
Comments: Loved the video, JS. It amazes me to see what some people waste. I guess that makes me an old fuddy-duddy, but I wear the title with pride. Dru's friend is an American genius who has figured it out. |
