POPSChuck Norris on hit list Check out what Mr. Norris is doing for kids. "It is what I have been doing for more than a decade with my "KickStart" program, which began in Houston, Texas, teaching 150 at-risk children martial arts as part of the PE curriculum. Since that time, our program, which instills discipline and respect and raises self-esteem, has grown to serve more than 6,000 youngsters year round at 37 schools in Dallas and Houston, Texas. To date, KickStart has graduated more than 50,000 students with many going on to college and becoming successful in their own right."

POPSRolling Thunder and why I love the Internet I have been trying to find the name of this movie for almost 20 years. All I could remember was the hand in the garbage disposal and the coins. Finally, the right search words led me to this. I started to believe I just made the movie up in my head, as my brother swears he never saw it. I surely wouldn't have watched this on my own; I know it was his idea. LOL! Does anyone remember watching this movie?

POPSSaint Arnold Divine 5 Beer Any Saint Arnold's fans? I tried the new Divine 5 last night. It was yummy. I'm not a huge fan of stout, but this wasn't bitter and had a rich chocolate undertone. I'm not sure if St. Arnold is sold outside Texas, but if you can get one, try it before they run out.

POPSHouston makes a good impression Houston: it's not as bad as you think. (That's should be our city's new slogan). Hee. More about Houston in the article, if you are interested. We have the National Funeral Museum! I've never been because I can't convince anyone to go with me. It's sounds great to me.
