I know that Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly have been in about 8 movies together, but it worked for Lewis and Martin, right? (Although with these 2, it's more like Lewis and Lewis.) On the heels of Ferrell's round-the-clock promotion of Semi-Pro, we already have a preview of his next movie co-starring -- who else? -- John C. Reilly. The two have become Step Brothers.
For a 2-and-a-half-minute comedic break: Step Brothers

Don't Smell Like a Turtle Cage!
OK, this isn't exactly the most thought-provoking return to the blogosphere ever undertaken by a dormant blogger, but at this point, I am jumping on the chance.
We all perspire. Even women. Some more than others. I'm not advocating this particular product, but I think what Jackie Moon has to say is worth listening to -- especially if you're a Ron Burgundy fan or just believe that most songs need more cow bell.

Random Thoughts
It's been a while since I shared my thoughts and/or what's been going on with us. Here are some random thoughts to catch you up:
1) Jen and Keegan are in Virginia for the week. I will be all alone which means I will have to cook for myself this week which is different from every other week because . . .
2) I really enjoy reruns of The Wonder Years. I am Kevin Arnold.
3) As much as she hates it, Jen is my Winnie Cooper.
4) Tomorrow is our anniversary. We have been married for 14 years. That's a long time. But it doesn't seem that long at all. It seems like just yesterday that I first spotted Jen turning up everywhere I went . . . soccer practice, away games in Ohio, Greek class.
5) Yea, I took Greek for the helluvit for a year in college. I was (am) such a nerd.
6) I listened to a great message on Matthew 28 from Rob Bell over the weekend. Bell is the guy behind the Nooma videos. If you haven't seen any of those videos, you really should. I have a few of them. My favorite is called "Dust." Fritchman has a few too if you want to bug him for them. Bell's church in Michigan has added its sermons as podcasts on iTunes. Check them out if you have the time and an iPod.
7) The Nysewanders need a car. If you know someone who has an extra one they might be willing to part with, feel free to help make the connection. If they have a Dodge Stratus, that would be a bonus.
8) My middle sister, Anita, is due to have her baby this week. I can't believe my sister is about to be a mom. I also can't wait to see her love Peyton like nothing else in her life (no offense Troy).

New Music Monday
One of my favorite past times is buying music. See, I can't play an instrument like my wife or any number of my friends. But I really enjoy music. You would think that might motivate me to invest some time to learn even one instrument. In college, Jen tried to teach me to play the piano. That lasted about 20 minutes. She wanted me to learn scales and "Mary Had a Little Lamb." I quickly realized she wasn't going to teach me how to play the piano part from "Layla" and that we wouldn't last as a couple more than another day and a half if we continued this excuse to hang out on the couch in the lobby of her dorm.
OK, back to the music I bought. It was a big night for us. My parents took Keegan for the day (which ended up as an overnight trip for him). This created the perfect opportunity for us to see a movie . . . at the theatre! This has become the rarest of things anymore. We ended up seeing Blades of Glory. Which was freakin' hilarious. "We love you Denver . . . the city by the bay!!" After the movie, we stopped by Borders where Jen usually looks at books (what a waste!), and I always look for music.
Providentially, we had just received our federal tax refund. I figured it must be a sign from God (you know, a Blues Brothers kind of sign) that I was meant to purchase music on this night. So I set out in search of some new music and some music that was not necessarily new but that I had been wanting to pick up for some time.
Here's what I found:
1) Guster -- Ganging Up on the Sun
I have a song, Satellite, from this CD on the playlist that plays on this site.
2) Brandi Carlile -- The Story
You may have heard one or two songs from this CD on Grey's Anatomy. She has a great voice.
3) James Morrison -- Undiscovered
I've been listening to a couple of songs from this English singer-songwriter for about six months on Virgin Radio, a London radio station that I listen to at work sometimes. Willoughby has been touting Morrison for months, and he is excited that he's part of the opening act for John Mayer in August at Philips because he bought some tix to the show. Mind you, I was the one who told him about the show, but he didn't ask me if I wanted to go. No, he invited Nan instead. Whatever.
4) Mindy Smith -- One Moment More
Mindy has an incredible voice. I've always liked Ginny Owens' voice, but I think Mindy's voice is better. The first song on this CD is one of those songs you hear and think, I've heard this song before. It just sounds so familiar. But it's not a remake. It's a song Mindy wrote. It's called "Come to Jesus." I've heard it for more than a year on Organic X on 99X on Sunday mornings. It's an incredible message. I think what is familiar about it is the truth that she's singing. I've added it to the "Smile" playlist for the website too. I hope you get to hear it.
5) BONUS MUSIC -- occasionally, Borders offers these free CD samplers. I think it's a response to the free tunes that iTunes offers each week. I picked up one for James Morrison that had 2 live acoustic versions of his 2 most popular songs. But I also picked up one from Jon McLaughlin who is with Island Records (home of U2). The 2 full songs on the sampler are piano driven songs. They are somewhat Gavin DeGraw-ish, but it was better than a lot of the free tunes that Apple gives away.
There were so many more CDs that I had to leave at Borders. It was sad really. I guess it's like visiting the animal shelter. You can't bring all the animals home even if you might want to. Jen has to lay down the law though or I'll be bringing home every stray CD I find!
