Howdy Rowdy! Random Stuff about My Family

This little gem brightened my whole day…  I was on my way to work today when Herbie passed me on the Freeway.  Holy cow, some people must really love The Love Bug!

For years I have heard about “Cats.”  I’ve heard it is one the longest running Broadway (and London) shows ever.  When we heard the production was coming to the Captiol Theater in Salt Lake City Natalie and I thought it might be fun to finally go and see the production.  My Mom’s birthday was coming up and we thought, hey, that would be fun to take her to see the show with us… so, Natalie got some tickets (right down in front) and we were all set.

Well, here we sit at intermission looking at each other with confused looks. Both Natalie and I looked at each other and said, “I don’t get it.”  I guess there is some deep meaning that high-brow theater-goers get out of it but we seemed to be missing it.  It was mildly entertaining and there were a few engaging moments, but on the whole we didn’t think it was very compelling.

We did get lucky though and our ticket purchases were not a total waste… sitting right in front of us was a woman who just absolutely LOVED the performance.  She was VERY enthusiastic; whenever the audience applauded she almost jumped out of her seat as she pounded her hands together.  As the event was drawing to a close, and I got more and more excited to leave, the woman in front of us was just sobing; tears streaming down her face she litterally JUMPED out of her seat at the closing moment as if to say that she was responsible for the standing ovation that followed.  All I can say is, “wow.”  As we left I told Natalie, “Well, we got two shows for the price of one!”  That lady was the only thing that made the evening bearable!

Wow, I just got this little app called “Face Melter” for my iPhone and it is awesome!  Now you can waste hours on your iPhone making your friends and family wish they have never let you take their picture!  Here are some I did of my family.  Hope you laugh as hard as we did!

I got into computers way back when I was in jr. high school and the best computers around were either Apple II’s or IBM XT’s.  Graphics in games (along with everything else having to do with computers) has come a LONG, LONG way.  However, some of those old games are still so awesome.  This video is a little tribute to those awesome old games that sometimes lost something in translation…
