We're visiting The Haunted Mansion again

This guest post from Alice Wall

When I told the kids to think about which movies we were going to watch this Halloween season they spoke in unison "The Haunted Mansion." When I asked them why they liked watching that movie so much they said because Eddie Murphy acts so crazy and all kinds of really cool, spooky things happen in that movie. Kevin also added that he thinks Eddie Murphy is a really good dad in that movie. I think he is too. Even though at the beginning of the movie we found out real quick that he is a workaholic and it seems like he might put his work ahead of his family, that situation turns around by the end of the movie. I love the part where he teaches his son to stand up to his fear of spiders. It kind of put my heart in my throat the first time I watched it and realized that all of the people in the mansion are really ghosts. Murphy plays a real estate agent named Jim Evers and he really has to put up a good fight at the end to save his wife. We misplaced our dvd so we're going to watch it on Direct TV this year. I can't wait to hear the kids howling with laughter at the end when the busts are strapped to the top of the car singing "When the Saints Go Marching In."

A Day At The Park

Thanks for the article from Quinton Wynn

When the sun is shining and my favorite baseball team takes the field, there's nothing more spectacular in my life. It's like nothing has ever happened before or will ever happen again, so there's nothing left to do but enjoy the roar of the crowd and the crack of the bat. That's the kind of overwhelming feeling I get when my team takes the field and begins passing the ball around to practice. It's like watching someone prepare for war, only the war is going to dazzle instead of sadden. A live game is one of the greatest pleasures in life, though my recent addition has made the live game about the same as another simple pleasure:

I also love to watch games on satellite television from www.tvbydirect.com/directv-deal/VIRGINIA-VA-direct-tv.html. A professional baseball game captured in my living room is just as awesome as it is in person. I kick back on the couch, have some nachos and a few drinks, and take in all the action just like I would if it were live. If it's a beautiful day outside, the tv captures that beauty perfectly and I never feel as if I've missed out on anything. It saves an unbelievable amount of money too. Hot dogs are reasonably cheap at home, not at the park.

I would recommend an afternoon of baseball indoors. It's just as exciting.

Save the Liberace Museum!

Liberace Museum is scheduled to close as of Oct. 17!
We have already lost the museum that housed Elvis, we must save the Liberace Museum from the same fate.

We dont have long folks, Lets save it!

Petition to Save the Liberace Museum!
SIGN THE PETITION


Las Vegas – After 31 years of operation, the Liberace Museum will close its doors Sunday, Oct. 17, 2010 to focus its monetary contributions on the Liberace Foundation.
Due to the economic downturn and the decline in the number of visitors, the Museum is forced to close the space and focus primarily on its dedication to the Foundation and the donation of scholarships.
“On behalf of the Board of Directors, we feel it is important to close the Museum to ensure the future of the Liberace Foundation and to keep the legacy of Liberace alive through its continued scholarship program,” said Jeff Koep, chair of the Liberace Foundation. “Since the inception of the foundation 34 years ago, more than $6 million in scholarships have been awarded to 2,700 students, and we will continue to award scholarships to deserving individuals.”
The memorabilia at the Liberace Museum will be maintained. A national touring exhibit is planned, and details will be announced at a later time. The board will also continue to research options for a location change to make the Museum more accessible to potential patrons.
“The traveling exhibit is an exciting way to share the life and legacy of Liberace while providing an income stream for the Foundation,” said Koep. “In no way do we intend to close the doors and not continue to explore options that will allow us to reopen at a later date.”
The Museum hours will be extended until the closing date, which will be announced at a later time.
About the Liberace Foundation:
The Liberace Museum is a non-profit organization that supports the mission of The Liberace Foundation for the Performing and Creative Arts which has funded scholarships since 1976. The scholarship program has provided nearly $6 million in scholarships, touching the lives of more than 2,700 students from 120 of the nation\\\\\\\'s premier institutions. For more information, to make a donation and to become a supporter of the Liberace Foundation, call 702.798.5595, visit the website at www.liberace.org, or email info@liberace.org.
