Looking online for things to do next weekend with Calvin in Nashville. I've decided to skip the 2:30pm meeting on Friday so I can get us up and downtown before evening rush hour. I'm trying to come up with a list of sunny day and rainy day places/events/activities.

Sunny
"Dragon Park" between Hillsboro Village & Vandy, Centennial Park (duh), Fort Nashboro/Riverfront/The District, Bicentennial Mall (moreso the end w/ the big state map and water fountain)

Rainy
Frist Art (ArtQuest kid play area), Cumberland Science Center, Opryland Hotel, downtown branch of library

I've lost JD. She's joined the Coupon Clipping Cult. Not just clipping, but organizing them in a 3-ring binder with baseball card sleeves, stacking numerous coupons with store sales and credits, and odd shopping calculus that involves buying stuff we don't want to get lots of stuff we do want at a great discount that more than makes up for what we spent for what we didn't want. I think the wave has crested. While organizing the sales papers and coupons the other day, she turned to me and confessed, "Okay, this isn't fun any more."

I'm currently under the belief that I'm only going to download the BBC broadcasts of Doctor Who until it starts on SciFi next weekend. And then I think about how much I flinch when commercials break up a scene or what they cut out to make room for commercials (after the Jack/Martha cut from last series). I'm definitely going to stop uploading them at that time. So, if there is someone actually getting them from me, start looking for another resource or wait it out a few weeks. Sorry, takes too long to upload for it to be convenient each week.

The Battle of Hastings was in 1066.

This is a test. A what? A test. A what? A test. Oh, a test!

Phoenix is actually exciting to watch tonight. I'm going to credit the magical powers of racing at night. I'm uncertain of the physics that might explain the excitement level of aerodynamically stable cars with no grip on a flat track.

Just under 280 hours until I get snipped.

You ought to take Calvin to The Rainforest Cafe at the Opry Mills Mall. I think it's still there. I know for sure they have a new restaurant with an underwater theme, and I saw their big tanks of fish in the entry way when I was there recently. You should look into it, it's a bit overpriced and you have to wait a while sometimes (I think you can get your name on the list and then shop and come back), but it would be worth it to Calvin. It's fun sitting in a restaurant that feels like the rainforest, with "animals" making random noises and stuff. I enjoyed it when I went, and I was 22 years old! Yeah, but you know I'm just a big kid anyway. Hehe!

Did you see or perform in "This is a Test?"

My junior year at Grissom, we performed that as our one-act competition piece. We won state and SE with it. Jason Graham was the lead. I was a mere member of the "chorus."

i was in 8th grade when we took a field trip to bob jones where they performed it. i loved it!

and i've taught at several theatre camps, and we always used that as a "warm up" game.
