Check out how players from UConn & USF (South Florida) passed the time during a rain delay.  

 How can you Moon Walk with cleats?  

He was born in Cooper County – hence the name “Cooper” – at Anheuser-Busch’s new breeding facility.  He weighs 150 pounds and is a good candidate to be pulling the famous Budweiser wagon in years to come.  Check him out, plus “Rachel” who also was recently born on the 347-acre farm in Boonville.

The song is from Randy’s second album “Always & Forever” and hit number one on the charts.  Randy also wrote the song.

Here’s what Carrie Underwood had to say about choosing the song for her second album.

I have always loved this song and have been a fan of Randy’s for literally as long as I can remember.  I wanted to record a cover for my second album and when I checked my iPod, there it was…a true testament that great songs stand the test of time.  I’m so happy to be helping such a beautiful song touch even more people.

Check out the music video from 1987 – yes, there were videos then!

And…she’s a dancer!

Mainly went to see it because it was in filmed in new & improved 3-D.  It didn’t disappoint.  Not like 3-D movies of the past where scenes were set up for 3-D, this is a movie first that just happens to be filmed in 3-D.  Plus, you get a great pair of 3-D glasses out of it.  Quite stylish, not at all like those stupid cardboard cutouts you used for the Super Bowl commercial.  So, if you see the movie, save the glasses.

I won’t give the movie away, but it’s about an 11-year old girl, Coraline, who moves to a hotel (that looked eerily like the house in Psycho) with her parents.  Out of boredom, she soons discovers an alternate universe.  When she first visits this place, it’s all rosey & sweet (kind of reminded me of when Dorothy in Wizard of Oz first sees munchkin land) but then it turns dark & creepy.  It’s rated PG, so it’s not for little kids – though some kids were there with parents.  Dakota Fanning voices Coraline and Teri Hatcher of Desperate Housewives voices her mom, or should I say “moms” - good & evil.  Uh, see the movie.

Though it was a good movie, it was even better because of the 3-D experience.  Not only was it delicious eye-candy, but you’re in a room with a bunch of people all wearing the same dorky glasses.   How cool is that!   

And…there’s more to come.  In fact, Hollywood is releasing more than 15 major 3-D movies this year in an attempt to put people in seats.  I’m ready, I have my glasses.   

Miller High Life has a way to stretch their $3 million this year.  They will be airing 30 one-second commercials.  That’s $100,000 per second.  

Here’s some of the one-second ads that didn’t make it. 

Can you name all 44 Presidents?  It all began on April 30, 1789 when George Washington, standing on the balconey of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York City, took the oath of office as the first President of the United States.   BTW, it wasn’t until Thomas Jefferson’s first inauguration in 1801 that the event took place in Washington D.C.   

Here’s a visual to help you name and remember all 44 Presidents. 

During one of Keith Urban’s concerts last Spring, he noticed a girl in the crowd with a sign that said “Let Me Play Your Guitar”.  So, he invited “Leslie” on stage.  Check out what happened.

If your kids are getting way too excited about Christmas, have them check out Norad Tracks Santa.  They can send Santa an email…see who’s the busiest each day at the North Pole…and other fun things. 

Then on Christmas Eve, follow Santa’s as he delivers toys to every good girl & boy.  Norad has even installed “Santa Cams” at many locations around the world, so you’ll be able to see Santa and his reindeer as they make their journey and how many cookies he’s eaten.

The song is by an organization called The Song Trust.  It was released last year with 50% of the proceeds from sales of the song going to St. Jude’s. 

Don’t know if they’re doing that again this year, but I found a wonderful video that really captures the spirit of the song and reminds us to remember those Moms & Dads serving our country who won’t be home for the holidays.   Check out this video.  Have Kleenix on standby.
