Good to have high school baseball and softball seasons back in swing. When I moved to Iowa 21 years ago, I had never heard of playing high school sports in the summer, but I like it...
I can't believe the video I've seen of the devastation in Joplin, Missouri. It looks like a bomb went off...
Are you as sick and tired of the Rapture talk as me?...
Ray Lewis says if there's no NFL season, crime will rise. That's a chilling thought from a guy who knows something about crime...
The Iowa Speedway expected a dip in attendance for this Nationwide race, and had it---two races in one season bound to make some people choose one or the other---but overall, another successful weekend with a national television audience. Our "Murph & Andy Show" producer, Andrew Downs, the latest to experience a race in person for the first time. Andrew says he still won't watch a race on TV, but won't miss many at the Iowa Speedway. AD was surprised how much he liked it...
There is no better Saturday Night Live host right now than Justin Timberlake. I can't believe I'm in awe of the all-around talents of the guy who was lead singer for the boy-band NSYNC, but Timberlake is for real. Only Alec Baldwin is in his league...
The Des Moines Playhouse is staging The Wedding Singer through most of June. It's a musical based on the popular Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore movie. Here's where you can help... The play is set in 1985, and the Playhouse is celebrating the era's fashion with photos of '80s wedding couples. Scan your photos and send them to info@dmplayhouse.com.
The Playhouse also needs cassette tapes. Remember those? The set designer is making a show curtain from the tapes. The cassettes are strung side-by-side, and then the actual tape is hanging down. Can you picture it? The Playhouse needs about 800 more tapes. You can drop tape donations off at the Playhouse. Don't be surprised if you have more trouble parting with that Tears for Fears or Motley Crue tape than you expected...

Oh my...if I still knew where any of my tapes where, I'd be hard-pressed to let them go, even for THAT worthy cause!!
I'm having a difficult time with the realization that Lance was doping...it breaks my heart not only for cycling, but for those who've always thought of him as a "stand-up guy". The cancer world is reeling, I'm sure.
No, you're not alone with the fatigue of the who "rapture thing". I was sick of it the moment I heard about it.
A very good friend of mine lived a good many years (and still has family) in SW MO and it's about all that we can bear to know they're hurting so badly when we can do nothing to help, physically. We're talking of going down in the next week or so, but not before, while search and rescue are going on. It makes my heart ache to see the devastation down there, so reminicint of what went on in Parkersburg! So close to "home".
My first "in person" race was in Las Vegas....I'm not sure I truely remember the end, even with $30/bucket beer ;-) (That would be for 5 beers!!! :O ) I've gone to one race at the Iowa Speedway and loved it!!! Wish I could get back there more often but right now it's just not something we can afford. I suspect it's something we're all struggling with. But when we can afford it again...watch out! We'll be all over that track! I LOVE having it in our "back yard"!!!
