I was going to post something intelligent and meaningful today, but I just don’t have the enthusiasm at the moment. Instead, I offer these musical highlights from my bizarro-world life:
1. My department chair and I are standing in the hall at school today, keeping an eye on the kiddie-poos to make sure they don’t kill each other between classes. Hip urban teenager (a boy, I might add) comes sauntering down the hall and into the department chair’s class just before the bell, singing — loudly, and with great feeling —
“HER NAME WAS LOLA … SHE WAS A SHOWGIRL….”
Dude … I so did not see that coming.
2. The kids in my fourth hour class are supposed to be making a video to teach other classes a vocabulary word. A pair of oh-so-avant-garde girls decided to set the definition to music. Their melody of choice?
The Time Warp. Complete with dance moves.
I swear to everything that’s holy I did not put them up to this.
3. I went to the Rock Cafe tonight for dinner. On the way home, I was listening to the radio, and someone called in to request “Here I Am.”
The DJ mentioned that she’d introduced Air Supply at a recent concert and that they were “just as wonderful as they ever were.”
Probably so … which is exactly why the Red Fork Hippie does not feel the need to attend Air Supply concerts.

Oh this may be odds and ends but funny odds and ends. Made me giggle.
Air Supply is still around? Who’d a thunk?
Thanks for the giggle!
