It pays to play dumb

Sometimes it pays to screw up.

Today on the PhilCast I have a couple of related stories regarding household chores and repairs.

I've got a great list of the ways guys screw up basic cleaning chores around the house. This has worked to our advantage in the long run.

The second and related list is of basic household repairs that used to be thought of as 'man's work' around the house but nowadays, not so much.

Also on the Wednesday show, People Magazine's Most Beautiful Person.

And some audio from last night's Late Night, when Dave and Colbert got together on the show before the passing of the torch that is still to come.

Status Symbols

Tuesday, Apr, 22 2014

One of the stories I'll be talking about on the Tuesday show is one that compares what we consider today's status symbols, and what they were back in the 80's.

It's a pretty eye-opening list.
Why?

Things we thought were soooo cool in the 80's...things only 'fancy people' had back then are mostly things we all take for granted here in 2014.

Hint:

And in fact, what's really interesting to me is the fact that of the two lists, only ONE ITEM shows up on both as being a status symbol in the 80's and still now as well.

We'll discuss.

Oh, it's Earth Day....
Hug a tree or something I guess.

There they are, at least two of the three chairs that broke on Easter Sunday.

Good Friday

Friday, Apr, 18 2014

I don't know what Jesus actually looks like, but I imagine him to look just like Robert Powell did in the classic movie, "Jesus of Nazareth".

His eyes, so piercing.
His voice, so comforting.

Yeah, this is how I hope Jesus looks and sounds when I meet him some day.

This movie moves me every year at Easter time. Watching it has been a tradition for me for decades. I kid that I want to become a priest after each time I see it.

And I quote from some of the lines to myself quietly throughout the season.

Someone put a clip together on YouTube....the music....especially the theme song of the movie that repeats throughout is so damn haunting.

Great stuff.

Happy Easter.
