The Saturday Post: Too Soon edition

/

This song first stirred my soul several years ago, when EastMountainSouth was the opening act at a Tracy Chapman concert. I've loved the song ever since, yet never really in relation to one specific person. Until now.

This is for Margie, who left us Friday morning, far too soon.

The Saturday Post: Happy birthday edition

/

Julia Child's birthday was this past Wednesday. She would have been 100 years old. In honor of her birthday, PBS cooked up this:

Today is the birthday of my very own Julia Child, the Julia Child of our family: Brianna. She turns 30 years old today! I'm nowhere's near as talented as PBS in cooking up birthday fun, but I'm hoping Brianna's birthday celebration will end up being just as tasty and fun as the mashup above. At least to Brianna.

Happy birthday to Brianna!

And to Julia Child.

And happy Saturday to the rest of ya!

Enjoy!

The Saturday Post: Shake it out edition

/

I love this woman's voice. After the hot and rough week that it was, I especially love this acoustic version of one of her most popular songs.

"It's hard to dance with a devil on your back, so shake him off."

Want to see the original version? Click the link for Florence and the Machine doing Shake it Out.

Shake it out today, my friends! Happy Saturday!

The Saturday Post: The Boomer Can Can

/

Even if you're not a baby boomer (born 1946-1964), I'm pretty sure you can relate to this video.

For those of you who couldn't tell who the guy was on the posters they waved around at the end, I couldn't tell either. So I checked into it, and it's George Clooney. Yeah, baby!

Happy Saturday, my boomer and non-boomer buddies!
