Thought you all might enjoy this comic strip... :)










Just a little historical humor to brighten your day! :)

(The comic strip is Barney & Clyde, by Gene Weingarten, Dan Weingarten, and David Clark.  See more here.)

Can't wait for the trip course!

OK . . . it's time for this

So, you may be familiar with this song, "Istanbul (not Constantinople).  If not, don't kill me for putting this in your head!  Anyway, while the song was originally record in the 1950s it was covered in 1990 by They Might Be Giants, a smart, yet somewhat nutty, band popular with all the cool kids during that time.  (For what it's worth, I've probably seen TMBG in concert more times than any other band . . . although I'm not 100% sure about that.)  But here you go . . . don't laugh too hard at the 1990s video effects.
