Creator Seeks to Preserve 'Electric Slide'
Listen to this story... by Renée Montagne
Morning Edition, February 20, 2007 · The Electric Slide slithered out of '70s disco venues to global popularity. But choreographer Richard Silver says his creation has lost key steps in more recent representations. He's considering a suit to protect the artistic integrity of his dance.
Thank you NPR! You make my morning commute so... interesting!

Funny -
How many Bush administration officials does it take to change a light bulb?
1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed;
2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed;
3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb;
4. One to arrange the invasion of a country rumored to have a secret stockpile of light bulbs;
5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb;
6. One to arrange a photograph of Bush, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner: Light Bulb Change Accomplished;
7. One administration insider to resign and write a book documenting in detail how Bush was literally in the dark;
8. One to viciously smear #7;
9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how George Bush has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along;
10. And finally one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.
Ok and just so no one is left out, here's what the bush supporters said about the light bulb issue:
How many Bush Administration officials does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None.
Nothing is wrong with the light bulb; its conditions are improving every day.
Any reports of its lack of incandescence are a delusional spin from the liberal media.
That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect.
(thanks, Mike and Jenn!)

Happy Valentine's Day!
A little late, but we wanted to give the Fantasy Football winners their congratulations... so they won. Great.
Ok, enough bitterness. The "Mostly Nerds" champion for the 2006 season was Dennis and the "Yet More Nerds" champion was Erin. Here they are with their FABULOUS trophies, handmade by Brad and Stacie. You thought they were professionally crafted out of real gold, didn't you? :)
In other news, we're doing well. Brad is working on about 5 different things at any one time in the lab, trying to meet a lot of deadlines. He is also working at night in rehearsals for Town and Gown's production of "Lady Windermere's Fan", which opens this weekend and runs for 2 weeks. If you're local, check it out! Details about the show and tickets here. Stacie is doing well and feeling pretty good for the most part. Her energy seems to be returning as we near the end of the 1st trimester, which is definitely a good thing. Especially since Mike and Jenn are coming this weekend - yey!!!!! It will be a short visit (stupid work!), but we'll make the most of it! We can't wait!
Oh yeah, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!
