Video of the Day: "Dark Side of the Rainbow" tonight
Last week I told you about going to Fish Fry & A Flick at the lakefront next to Discovery World. The food, by Bartolotta's catering, is fab, there's a free movie and the scene is a great one. This week, the movie is "Dark Side of the Rainbow -- Wizard of Oz with the Music of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon."

An affordable lakefront fish fry with free film added

Weekly New Thing: Thank You, Habitat For Humanity
As I turned onto the correct street, I was hoping I was wrong. I checked the addresses as I slowly crept along. I made a U-turn in front of my assigned address and parked my car.
