B) I volunteered at the MLK museum (where he was murdered) in Memphis for about 6 months. It was pretty cool and made you pretty disappointed to be white. Truth. It was tough. His Dream speech is the most well known, but I always thought Mountaintop was the most powerful.
Food for thought:
"What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr's cause has ever been stifled by an assassin's bullet. No wrongs have ever been righted by riots and civil disorders. A sniper is only a coward, not a hero, and an uncontrolled or uncontrollable mob is only the voice of madness - not the voice of the people."
- RFK, after MLK was slain
I don't necessarily agree with it, but thought it was Blog worthy.
Also, if you worked on MLK and got off work for President's Day, I think something's wrong with that. If you worked both, man, bummer. If you worked neither, your name is probably Kevin Raldymple.

After arriving at the Dalrymples on Tuesday night- in a scene straight out of Perfect Strangers- Kevin Dalrymple and Brian Weiss were in the backyard with a metal detector trying to find Kevin's wedding ring. He lost said ring while tossing the football with Brian the night before. Brian, who has great experience at losing important things, found the ring minutes after we arrived.
In other news, Two members of the IC are moving out of Texas. Can you name them?

What if a 12th grade education was all you mustered?
Where would you be?
Pick somebody and tell their story. It can be a sentence (Chambers) or a sonnet (Williams)... I guess I will pick Lubahn because of the above picture.
Never leaves Minnesota. But still managed to snake his educated Darling back to Minnesota and marry up. He leaves Winona for the bright lights of LaCrosse, Wisconsin. There his wife supports his hopes of becoming a minor league hockey player as he battles in the semi-pro adult circuit.
Sadly, his youngest of 9 children chokes on a tater tot, and though Brent was successful in reviving the youngster, his jean shorts (he never met me so his wardrobe never evolved) got caught fire on the space heater. His legs were burned and his hockey career was over. He moves back to Winona. Alex, his youngest brother, got him a job driving the Zamboni before the 3rd period of the Winona Pirates' Pee-Wee hockey games.
In the words of Richard Mazur,"get your education."

For those that aren't aware our local IC graphic artist is being recognized by the local Houston art community for several of his pieces of work with Love Advertising.
Give him some love...it's a big deal.
(Please refrain from all "get off his cock", "dicksucker", and/or any ass kissing references...our friend did well)
