Liz’s rant: MJ – alive and well?
PrintThat’s right folks, MJ – the King of Pop – the singer that put the B in Bad – seems to have surfaced in the most unlikely of places – at a Fourth of July celebration barely more than a week ago. I know what you must be thinking. “How can this be?!?” Well, don’t look to me for answers. I’m just the messenger, here. And I’m just as shocked as you people. All I know is … Read entire article »

Betcha Didn’t Know – about “Auld Lang Syne”
Print“Auld Lang Syne” is sung at the stroke of midnight in almost every English-speaking country in the world to bring in the new year. At least partially written by Robert Burns in the 1700′s, it was first published in 1796 after Burns’ death. Early variations of the song were sung prior to 1700 and inspired Burns to produce the modern rendition. An old Scotch tune, “Auld Lang Syne” literally means … Read entire article »

Liz’s rant: The snow is snowing
Print Ever notice how the silliest things have the capacity to turn into discussions that just make your head spin? Case in point would be my little argument with Hannah over a Billie Holiday Christmas song, where the late great singer bellows out lines like, “The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing.” “Why is the snow snowing?” I asked. “That’s what snow does, Mom – it snows.” “No the snow does not snow – it falls.” “Mom, you are … Read entire article »

Liz’s rant: The rule-breakers
PrintLet’s just get it all out there right now. I’m the rule-breaker. And the rules I broke were my own. Anyone who knows me also knows this is when I point fingers at others, too – just for fun. When I tell you that my 8-year-old knew exactly what I was doing. But instead of cautioning me, he cheered me on, adding that the long-standing rule of waiting until the day after Thanksgiving to listen to … Read entire article »

Betcha Didn’t Know – Parrots have great rhythm
PrintBetcha didn’t know… parrots have great rhythm. Two studies by Harvard University and the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego found that parrots, like humans, have the ability to move with the beat of music. It was previously thought that only humans could dance in rhythm – but when parrots listened to music, they happily bobbed their heads according to the tempo. When the rhythm was changed, the parrots didn’t miss a step – they switched up … Read entire article »
