Practically perfect

Our local hip-and-happenin’ movie theater is sponsoring a “Mary Poppins” sing-along in a few weeks! I had to work the night they had a “Sound of Music” sing-along, but I actually have this particular Friday off. Woo! I’ll be torturing Rockford with strains of “A Spoon Full of Sugar” and “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” and that song about suffragettes that I can’t remember at this moment (but I will after April 14, by gum!) for the rest of the spring. Poor Rockford. But the theater’s showing “Neil Young: Heart of Gold” soon, too, so he can take solace in that.

The Pittsnoggle blues

Rockford has been forcing me to watch (or at least pretend to watch) a lot of basketball lately. With Duke and Gonzaga dropping out of contention, my Final Four has fallen apart. Next year, maybe I’ll try a new method of picking teams (this year it was Which Name Sounds Snappier). Claire at zulkey.com might not have hit upon a fail-proof method, but at least it’s funny.
Here is part one, and here is part two.
