April Birthdays Here are the (known) subscriber birthdays this month. If you haven’t shared yours with us yet, why not? 🙂 See April Birthdays.
Guest Voices PSes Jerry Johnson’s contribution to our new GUEST VOICE feature seemed to be well received last week!! Wasn’t it good? If you missed it, you can read it at Cookbook Olio. The most interesting response was from Jerry’s son, Ben! It was in the Comments, but you may have missed it. Really fun! See it here: Ben Johnson’s Response.
Next Guest Voice! We already have our next Guest Voice ready to go. It’s from Terry Goodman and is entitled Five Decades of Student Stories! Those of you who know Terry can only imagine! It’s funny!! We’re working on the Guest Voice schedule now, but watch for it near the end of this month!
Cartoons of the Week I recently ran across this: The 25 Best Sunday Comic Strips of All Time. I was pleased to see that we’ve already featured 4 of the Top 5! We’ll continue to feature some (my) favorite classics each week, but for today, you can check out all 25 here: 25 Best Sunday Comics
April Fools – OUCH! You may have missed this, but the whole town of Branson got ‘pranked’ big-time for April Fools this past week. Richard Branson announced he was moving his US headquarters of Virgin to Branson! It was quite an elaborate video – even featured the Branson mayor! Check it out: Branson to Branson. (Actually the part about his relative founding Branson appears to be true.)
On a side note, the funniest part of the deal came when I first heard of it from my son-in-law, who (unintentionally, he claims!) sent me an e-mail entitled Virgin Moves to Branson!
Brain Teasers Are you ready for some more BTs? Fairly easy this time: Brain Teasers 15-7
Fulton Rotary Club Had a great time last week (on April Fool’s Day!) speaking to the Fulton (MO) Rotary Club. Fun group and they treated me well! This was the first group to ask for the Ozarks Scenes and Seasons presentation, and I think it went OK. If your local or civic group needs a speaker, let me know. 🙂
