Have you heard them? If not, you haven’t heard angels.
Celtic Woman is a group of five women with the most angelic voices you’ve ever heard. Traditionally, I’m not much of a fan of women’s voices like this. But these ladies are different. There’s something about the music they create that just hooked me.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you’ve got to check out WFRV.com. This is our local CBS affilliate (owned by CBS) in northeast Wisconsin, and their web site was recently rebuilt. They’ve done a fantastic job of making a site that is lean and loads fast. Their inclusion of video clips from their news casts [...]

We were just sitting around the family room today talking about movies, and my daughters were asking about my favorite movies. I’ve got several favorites, so I figured I’d write them out and rank them.
1. Apollo 13 (1995) Ron Howard — Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, Gary Senise, Ed Harris. I’m a big fan [...]

What if this happened to you? Would you still have faith in God? The folks at Lady Lake Church of [...]

So we had primary elections for 8th district representative from Wisconsin last month. As is typical, before the primary, candidates are quite cautious to not bash each other, after all, their opponents are from the same political party. But once the primary is over, the gloves are off.
I’ve had so much to say about this [...]

If you’re looking for a great CD, something unique and a little different, check out “Kindness“, a 5-song volume by the Steve Carson Band. I’ve been listening to Steve since his early days with his band Exit. His song writing is inspirational, and his sound is quite unique.
Be sure to listen to some track samples [...]

I just subscribed to CNN Pipeline. This is one of the greatest new uses of internet technology I’ve seen in a long time. I’m a cable and internet news junkie. I usually have 4-6 Firefox windows open at a time, one of which has 16 tabs, each one being a news site (eWeek.com, Google News, [...]

I missed the live broadcast of the president’s speech tonight, but I just watched a replay on C-SPAN. You may wish to read the transcript of the speech. President Bush spelled out a 5 point plan for immigration reform, and he hit the nail on the head on each point. Bravo Mr. President!
The most controversial [...]

Catholics everywhere celebrate the stations at this time every year, along with many other Christians in the world. And at Lourdes, the entire service is put on by high school and [...]

I was out in Southern California last week, scoping out the old stomping grounds. Had a lot of fun. One cool thing was that when I got in the rental car at LAX, I immediately tuned the radio to 93.1 FM. That’s the station I used to listen to when I lived out there.
Well, it’s [...]

We’ve all read about Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban. I just watched the program Q&A on C-SPAN where Cuban was tonight’s guest. What a great conversation! In case you’re not familiar with Cuban’s history, you can read his bio on the Mavericks web site. Suffice it to say that what this man touches turns to [...]
