The best minds in the US are tucked away in a remote town where they build futuristic inventions for the government's benefit. The show ran from 2006 to 2012 on SyFy. Great theme music. Excellent exploration of characters. Good science and pseudo-science. Cool devices. I really enjoyed watching it. Via DVD. Only watched the first … Continue reading Eureka!

#40: Great is Thy Faithfulness
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father! There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not: As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be. Chorus Great is Thy faithfulness! … Continue reading #40: Great is Thy Faithfulness
Batman and Robin
Last night I watched a second season episode of the 1960s Batman and Robin television show. It was a wonderful, humorous, formulaic show. You could always count on the corny phrases, the fight scenes, the cliff-hanger ending that they got out of at the beginning of the next episode by some "logical" trick of science … Continue reading Batman and Robin

Halloween Haunt and the Dining Plan
So, Worlds of Fun is into Halloween Haunt. When I was up on the Steel Hawk last night, I could see all the theatrical fog and smoke penetrating the park. Some places it seemed almost overwhelming. We are still going, though they are open only on weekends until Nov. 1, because the dining plan is … Continue reading Halloween Haunt and the Dining Plan
Harmonaires
The Harmonaires is more of a stage dance presentation sometimes than a well-rehearsed music group. It isn't easy to sing well while doing all those dance moves. That said, they sung a whole lot better in the numbers where they weren't dancing. They started with a James Brown Medley, arranged by Jan Ward I Feel … Continue reading Harmonaires
Treble Choir
When I attended my first choir concert at North Kansas City High School years ago, it was the women's Treble Choir that really impressed me. The tight harmonies and a capella pieces they did at that concert impressed me -- someone who sings a capella regularly as a professional. This year the numbers were not … Continue reading Treble Choir
#39: This Is My Father’s World
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) This song has special meaning to me. It is associated in my mind with Professor Reigles and the Houghton College Choir. It was both a tryout song, and a tuning song. 1 This is my Father’s world, And … Continue reading #39: This Is My Father’s World
