Scattershot

It's been a wild week... and the blog has suffered. So, an explanation, followed by a quick sprint through some topics of interest. 

The Explanation

I have a new job with the Tennesse Department of Education... 

The Gathering 

...which explains why I (sob whimper) won't be at Alan Moon's Gathering of Friends this year. And why I won't get to have the first pick off the Prize Table that I "own" thanks to winning the Can't Stop tournament last year. 

Why, yes, I'm bummed - thanks for asking. 

The Kickstarter

Today is the LAST day to jump on the Baseball Highlights 2045 Kickstarter!

You should support this. So say I all. 

The Movies

Don't Stop Believing - Everyman's Journey is a disjointed but enjoyable documentary about the lead singer they found via YouTube. Arnel Pineda is a great vocalist & seems to be pretty grounded... which makes this more fun to watch than your average "Behind the Music" band bio. 

Frozen has more in common w/a Broadway musical than it does most animated films. That's not a bad thing - our family had a great time watching it. 

Thor: The Dark World had problems - impenetrable plot twists & nonsensical "technology" - but it was still a lot of fun to watch in a pulp-y comix kind of way.
