I saw this headline on the news channel in the cafeteria when I went to get lunch: “Child Remains Found By Utility Worker in Plastic Bag”. This breaking news story involved a chopper looking down at a police car and people talking in the street. That is all. Maybe they are trying to break the […]

Next year, I am totally [setting Christmas lights to music][3]. And an article from the [Orlando Sentinel][1] had an awesome quote about one of the guys that is working on these. “[He] estimates he has spent about $2,000 on his display, but he is avoiding adding the costs up for fear of angering his girlfriend.” […]
