Chris Harrison should win the Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe for all the drama he inserts into just the preview of tonight's episode... part of a special two night event. What I never thought I would see? I bet it's not that outlandish. I am ready for all these parents who think their daughters are idiots. BRING. IT. ON.  We start off with Nikki in Kansas City which is somehow now synonymous with cows. I don't know why they start off with cows when introducing KC. I don't think I saw cows there. Fountains, yes. Cows, no. Union Station - yes, I've seen that. I guess it is because of the BBQ places. However, I think that KC BBQ is more PORK than BEEF.  Nikki says that it is make it or break it time. First challenge: gas station BBQ (Oklahoma Joe's). The sauce is spicy for him. He said it was amazing. Side note: gas station BBQ meant something else to me in KC. I had to chug Coke in order to burp after eating the nastiest BBQ I've ever eaten there. ...

Not that I ever plan to write a book, but I think I could write a book based on the things the kids in my 5th grade Sunday Bible class say. This morning, the topic was happiness, and I must have been guilty as charged regarding getting them stirred up (yes, I was told by one of the students that it was my fault they were loud).

As I was trying to give examples, one of the girls said, "if I was married" directing that comment toward me. I tried to get them on track because I only recall one conversation ever that might have led them to think I would want to discuss this. (Probably when I told them that when the preacher asked each S...

I actually did something this Saturday night. My parents and I went to Bass Hall to see the Oak Ridge Boys. My parents had seen them twice in Branson, but they are never there when I get dragged up there. My first record was the one that had "Elvira" on it. I remember. I was like 5 and got a Holly Hobby record player for Christmas. Anyway, I was willing to see, and when I'm willing to see someone my parents are willing to see, we go. It was a good show - anyone with the Ft. Worth Symphony Orchestra is really pretty cool. I mean, how many times have you heard "Elvira" or "Bobby Sue" complete with an orchestra? When we got there, the Oak Ridge Boys tour bus drove up, and I could see Richard Sterban in the front. With his grown out hair and funky facial hair, I could just tell it was him. So we walked up the block some, and were talking to a woman out near the front door. Richard walked right by us within three feet, but Mom and Dad didn't recognize h...
