Twodays before Christmas, I was discussing our Christmas Eve celebration with my father. The celebration takes place up at my parents’ home, and Cornells from hither and yon gather to eat, yak, and listen to little kids sing and/or play their piano recital pieces. The performance part of the Christmas Eve program ranges from the ... Read more

I'mup early on Christmas Eve, so I thought I'd blog quickly and then avoid the wrath of a wife who thinks I ought to be spending time with children instead of my computer. I shan't be blogging on Christmas Day, unless absolutely necessary. (What is wrong with me?) Questions were raised in the comments about ... Read more

Ithought I had more to say about Christmas specials, but reading back over yesterday's post, I realized I had pretty much covered it. Year Without a Santa Claus is probably my favorite of the stop motion thingees, but they went and ruined it with a live action version a couple of years ago. Which brings ... Read more

Iwatched the new Muppet Christmas special with the whole clan the other night, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. It was silly, hokey, and unabashedly sentimental, and A-list stars like Nathan Lane and Uma Thurman showed up and cheerfully made fools out of themselves. (Actually, are they considered A-list?

On Election Night, Coleman was over 700 votes ahead. Then, suddenly, ballots started appearing from out of ... Read more

Iupdated the Moist Board from phpBB3 3.0.0. to 3.0.4, and now it doesn't work.  Hopefully, this is but a temporary glitch.  ... Read more

SoI recorded a rough demo of "The Miracle of the Christmas Poo." It's a big hit with my Facebook friends, so I thought I'd be bold enough to share it here. I'd like to do a legit studio recording thereof, but I doubt I'll have time before Christmas.  I have since discovered, however, that South ... Read more

It’sgetting very hard to keep up with this blog as Christmas gets ever closer, as preparations for Christmas start becoming more and more like a full time job. The decorations and lights are up; the cards are sent; about 75% of the presents are bought. But now there are the parties and the neighbor gifts ... Read more

Last night, we were watching the news, and they said that Wicked tickets were going on sale this morning at 7:00 AM at the Capitol Theatre Box Office in downtown Salt Lake City. I saw Wicked in the Land of Languatron early this year, so I wasn't all that concerned for myself, but Mrs. Cornell ... Read more

I'meither too busy or too lazy to write a full-on blog entry, so I'll pass along a funny e-mail POUNDS forwarded on to me regarding shifting educational standards. ________ Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I ... Read more
