Shuttle Landing


The Space Shuttle is scheduled to land this morning. I guess I am weird because I never miss a launch or a landing. The first landing opportunity is at 8:07am central time. NASA has a landing blog set up and it is pretty neat. They are landing the shuttle early because the Feds need to shoot down a spy satellite.

Hump Day


The week is half over. The week continues to be eventful. February sweeps are also getting close to being over. It has been an eventful book with all three stations really going at it. The may book will be interesting with word that a new Fox newscast will start up by then. More competition never hurt.

OMGIM


Oh my God it's Monday! Last week was really long with all of the meetings with the big guys in town. Let's hope this week goes by quitely but you know that will never happen in Jackson.

Co-Workers


Have you ever noticed how co-workers think they can do your job so much better then you can? It amazes me how people can only have a quarter of the information you have received but still feel they can do it better. A word of advice, there are so many other things going on that you aren't even aware of so before you think you know everything, you may want to think again.

Howard The Duck


I was reading on a local website about some of the worst movies ever. While I must agree with the site on some of the movies, am I the only person in the country who liked "Howard The Duck"? I remember watching this movie as a young man and loving every minute of it. Maybe I am just alone in my desire to see it released on DVD. Just checked Amazon, and nope it is not available. Alas, maybe one day....
