Ovarian Cancer Awareness. It's Cool. And, I Mean Really Cool! ... On October 29, Don't Monkey Around

Don't Forget: September is ovarian cancer awareness month.
Become Oh-so-aware.

You were just thinking, where can I take a class on staying motivated at work?
Check out Southern Methodist University's offerings for non-official book learnin'.
I say it in the spirit of 'Back To School,' however, that season has ended.

It will be a chilly night on Oct. 29 as the Arctic Monkeys grace the stage in Grand Prairie, TX.

Ed Sheeran: Whine, Whine. And Hold Your Newspaper. Love Your Newspaper.

Hello all:

Today marks the first day of the blogathon. This means I could be writing every day for a month!

New topic:
I heard recently that Ed Sheeran was the opening act for Taylor Swift in Dallas, Texas at Cowboys' Stadium. I did not know about him. So I looked him up. I am not impressed by the whiny British boy.

New topic:
I was in Whataburger. I heard a song, "Gimmie That Girl."
I looked it up, and it is by Joe Nichols. In the song he asks, "Gimmmie that girl in a cute shirt and a pair of jeans..."
And, that's all he needs.
I guess for some people, it doesn't take much to please.

Finally:
Many newspapers have been shutting down, in the past few years.
While people are becoming accustomed to this, unfortunately, let's not lose our penchant for reading the morning paper. When newspapers go, an important part of our culture is dying off. Here is one that is closing. It is a church-related paper, but it is still important. A story in the Dallas Morning News.
Have a great day.

The END.

Livin' On A Prayer ... Whoa Oh

The blog is 100 percent unfiltered.

Remember: there is a Bon Jovi concert tomorrow at 7:30 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. I am not the hugest fan of Bon Jovi, but it's neat that they are still active with concerts.

In case you want more info on Slippery When Wet--don't know why you would--here is the link.

THE END.

Thanks for reading!

Hey Kids, Shouldn't You Be Doing Homework? And, Concert Alert!

I was driving yesterday. It was about 6:30 p.m. on the LBJ Freeway (Lyndon B. Johnson--the B is for Baines).
Suddenly I noticed 3 kids, all under the age of 12, waving from a walkway above the traffic.

Nobody else seemed to be waving. For some reason I feel bad when kids wave at cars, and I don't wave back.
I waved. It probably made their night.

They must have come from one of the neighborhoods nearby.
This gave me pause to think, wait! It's not summer! What are they doing just hanging out near LBJ? Shouldn't they be doing homework, or something like that?

Concert Alert! Concert Alert! There is a free concert, Sat. March 23, NEAR First Presbyterian Church (The Stewpot) in Dallas, TX. The concert takes place from 4 pm until 7 pm. The concert will be down the street, at 508 Park Avenue. There is more information on the site for 508 Park Ave.

I am told that Hunter Hendrickson and Holland K. Smith will be there. It should be a blues and country mix.
The Stewpot does a lot of good for the community--countless people have been helped by their services. The newspaper Street Zine, also operates out of The Stewpot's offices. It is sold by the homeless.

Have a fruitful Friday,

Alice
