Celebrating the States: Indiana - December 11, 1816

Munchies, Movies, and Manuscripts. Saturday, December 11, 2010. Indiana - December 11, 1816. A Very Indiana Christmas. Sometime in the late 80s I remember sitting in a bar in Oxford, Ohio, and being drawn to the silent television set in the corner where I saw a drunk-looking Santa and scared little kid, with a button nose, being pushed down a fake-snow covered slide. Even without the sound I knew I was onto something special. How could I find out the name of this Christamas movie? Whenever we see the sce...

Celebrating the States: Hawaii Music Follow-Up
http://celebratethestates.blogspot.com/2010/12/hawaii-music-follow-up.html
Munchies, Movies, and Manuscripts. Monday, December 6, 2010. It is too bad we did not know the story of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole back when we celebrated Hawaii Day. He was a gentle giant whose first recording became the version of "Over the Rainbow" most familiar to an entire generation. As Pam remembered, his version was the opening of 50 First Dates. A film that would have been a more enjoyable - if less informative - selection for our Hawaii movie. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). TX Screen Door Jesus.

Celebrating the States: Texas Size
http://celebratethestates.blogspot.com/2010/12/texas-size.html
Munchies, Movies, and Manuscripts. Wednesday, December 29, 2010. To comment about the size of Texas may be to lack imagination, but as a geographer, scale. Matters almost as much as place. Most South Texans know - though many Northerners do not - that the 100-mile buffer is taken quite literally by the United States Government, which operates a checkpoint in Falfurrias. 70 miles from the Mexican border, at which persons and vehicles are searched just as though they were coming in from another country!

Celebrating the States: Iowa Memoir (Lite)
http://celebratethestates.blogspot.com/2010/12/iowa-memoir-lite.html
Munchies, Movies, and Manuscripts. Tuesday, December 28, 2010. I" for Iowa - the only entry in my County Map Project. In which my county map resembles the state initial. At least, it seems to be the only one. For the teenage me, Iowa was just a place that needed to be crossed when going from Kansas City, Missouri to Minnesota, which I did for three distinct purposes. The first was to attend a camp at St. Olaf College. The second crossing - along that same narrow groove of I-35 - was on a mission trip fro...

Munchies, Movies, and Manuscripts. Friday, December 10, 2010. Mississippi - December 10, 1817. Mississippi is another one of my "drive through" states. The only time I was there was while I was in a car moving from Texas to Massachussetts during my third trimester of pregnancy. I honestly have no memory of it. In Robert Persig's classic book. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. This book is over 300 pages! If a reseacher or pesky out-of-town vistor had gone through the [periodicals] aisles [of the...

Munchies, Movies, and Manuscripts. Sunday, December 12, 2010. Pennsylvania - Dec. 12, 1817, no, I mean 1787. Today's post is dedicated to my friend Anna, who grew up in Scranton. So, I really think I was the wrong reader for. Speaking of Miracles: The Faith Experience at the Basilica of the National Shrine of St. Ann in Scranton, Pennsylvania. By Fr Cassian J. Yuhaus. Is the fact that priests broke their vows really what the problem is? For today's cinematic fare, as the only movie she knew of that takes...
