It's been a quiet week here in Park City, where all the women are pony-tailed, the men are on mountain bikes and the children are parking their new BMWs in the high school lot…
- Patrick Swayze's passing was sad, but it's interesting to me that in the list of all his movies, "Red Dawn" gets no mention. That was a classic! I mean a group of high school kids waging a guerrilla war against Cubans and Russians who invade Wyoming? That was totally realistic (in a Cold War paranoia sense, that is)! And did anybody catch that that was the first movie that he and Jennifer Gray were in before "Dirty Dancing?" Gotta be on the list is all I'm saying…
- Was that Charlie Sheen's first movie, too? See, classic!
- A big stink everywhere today about the MTV Video Music Awards and Kanye West's dis of Taylor Swift. Raises two questions for me: 1) Who are Kanye West and Taylor Swift? I stopped listening to new music after 1988, and 2) MTV plays music videos? I stopped watching that in 1986.
- I bust my kids' chops for watching episodes of "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody" and "Hannah Montana" over and over again, but then I can quote almost every Seinfeld episode from watching it over and over again. Is that hypocritical? I say no.
- Italian sausage chili…definitely making my top 15 favorite dinner list after tonight.
- I am addicted to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast. Listen to it here or subscribe on iTunes. Get the back issues. They are awesome.
- "Death Panel" sounds like a great name for a Chuck Norris movie or a punk band, don't you think?
- Word on the street is that the Utah subdistrict of the Rocky Mountain Conference of the United Methodist Church may become part of the Desert Southwest Conference in 2012. That would mean that we could potentially have church meetings in Las Vegas. Insert jokes here.
- Well, it's been fun but I gotta go…Seinfeld's on.
