Any special events in STL area for National Tartan Day on April 6? #
Looks like Missouri Tartan Day Festivities are April 9-11 in St. Charles. http://www.motartanday.com/ #
Only five more weeks until our @PrincessCruises cruise. Calendar pages aren't turning fast enough! #
RT @WithinRafael: Watching another Caprica… I'm sure it'll be another go-nowhere episode. You must be watching different show than I am. #
Mumford and Sons are coming to St. Louis on June 15 at Off Broadway!!! http://mumfordandsons.com/ #

RT @Medley: Someone needs to inform TLG that O’DarkThirty is not an acceptable ‘up for the day’ time. – They should tell our dogs that too. #
We’re going to see “August: Osage County” at the Fox today. Supposed to be good, but a 3.5 hour play with 2 intermissions seems too long. #
Put my 2001 Model Railroader magazines on eBay. Likelihood of me building a layout before I retire: Nil #

Wait staff: If you would write down the order, you wouldn’t forget the appetizer we ordered. Happened twice in the last 24 hours. #
@jbgeers Is the baseball doing anything? Why not watch a regulation size baseball? in reply to jbgeers #
August: Osage County (@ Fabulous Fox Theatre) http://4sq.com/3P4BLe #
RT @keladewig: Preparing for 3.5 hrs of the play August: Osage County at @foxtheatrestl. Certainly hope it’s worth the hype and the time. #
@techbri I remember Frys before they sold non-computer stuuf when I lived in SoCal. Went to the one in Chicago & hardly rcognized it. in reply to techbri #
1st intermission. So far the play is pretty good. Different. Still prefer my Broadway shows to have singing though. #
Intermission 2. Pretty intense scenes. Can’t imagine the actors doing this every day. #
Weird to see them dress the set inbetween acts with the curtain up. #
Well, I have to say “August: Osage County” was very good. Very dark with some funny parts but it isn’t a comedy. Quite the emotional show. #
Finished updating our @Xiotech Emprise 7000 to 8.5.1. Upgrade went nice and smooth. Now finishing up some updates for the PhD RDS server. #

@LjTx You lose points for using Wikianswers as your proof. Supreme Court has upheld the use of the Census to ask questions multiple times. in reply to LjTx #
@LjTx Actually, you are required by law to answer the questions or you can face fines. They generally don't enforce it though. in reply to LjTx #

@ConanOBrien You can go to a Cardinals game if you come here, and you'll fit in with all the red at the stadium. in reply to ConanOBrien #

@LjTx So telling them name, age, birthdate, gender, race, Hispanic or not, if sometimes live elsewhere, they will come up with a new tax? in reply to LjTx #
DirecTV is seriously ticking me off. Came home to find the DVR wanting to activate service. On phone now. #
@LjTx Well the Constituion and law say otherwise, but you do what you want. in reply to LjTx #
Turns out DirecTV pushed a software update this morning. Seems like their updates only proceed smoothly half the time. Poor QA guys. #
Watching last week's Who Do You Think You Are. Nice to see people actually doing the research work. Yay, genealogy! #
Wonder if my Eells ancestors knew Sarah Jessica Parker's Ellwell ancestors back in MA and CT in 1600s. #
Based on when and where they lived in MA they may have. Cool. I should ring her up sometime. #
I'm curious how many celebs turned out to have family histories that weren't exciting enough to make the show. #
They need to combine Who Do You Think You Are with Ghost Hunters for a little paranormal genealogy. Have that ancestor clear up loose ends. #
Genealogy shows need disclaimer like weight loss ads. "Results are atypical. You are unlikely to find ancestors in the Salem Witch Trials." #

Collen and Mickey

Last night I found Collen sleeping on the couch upstairs, using Mickey Mouse as a pillow.

I’m hoping someday to get back to posting something more substantial than my daily tweets, but for now this will have to do.

Is Sarah Jessica Parker trying to channel Queen Amidala with that hair and dress? #oscars #starwars #
Charlize Theron's dress seems to be afraid we might miss her breasts. No need to put a bullseye on them. #oscars #

"An Education" was excellent! Well-deserved nomination. #amcbps #

Schedule error. Hurt Locker starts at 12:30 not 12:45. On in few minutes. And plastic sleeves showed up. #amcbps #
On my own for Hurt Locker since @keladewig abandoned me to watch Bradley play UNI at Scottrade Center. #amcbps #
