It's Like Ketchup.....With A Kick

So I read great news: There ARE 'Kermit's 50th Anniversary' DVDs coming later this year, and included among them will be "The Muppet Movie." This is great.....I had read that the original DVD (now out of print) was a pretty poor transfer and was not remastered or anything. So, before I spent about $40-50 on eBay, it's good that this came along.
---------------------
In other news, 'A Prairie Home Companion: The Rhubarb Tour Live Show' was great. We were kinda far away, and the fat guy next to me was spilling over into my seat, but the "News From Lake Wobogon" story alone was worth the price of the ticket. They were obviously so glad to be in Mississippi that they performed numerous Elvis songs....and at the end let everyone sing along to "Can't Help Falling In Love With You"....which was AMAZING to hear a coliseum-full of people singing in unison. If you have not yet heard of or are forced listen to 'Prairie Home Companion' only when you are in the car with me, I would recommend becoming a frequent listener of this program. Just b/c it's on public radio doesn't mean it's classical music. And to see it live is a great experience.

I hope to [someday soon] drive up to St. Paul for a weekend and see a live performance.

Not a whole lot else....I still want some Oreos. I had promised myself that while on vacation I would get back into working out---I haven't done any since my dad was home for a leave and then....left. But I've had to eat either fried/greasy or fast food everyday since last Thursday, so I may go ahead and knock off a bag just b/c I feel fat.

Gosh, that sounded so girly.

I think I got scammed on eBay. Just a few days too early to tell...but I got that feeling.
