Brett Singer Tweets for 2012-08-19

This week is Brett Singer Tweets — I share a video of me, Brett Singer, playing guitar with Ace Frehley, discover that there are only six people in space right now (that we know about…), and utter the soon-to-be immortal words, “You can’t judge a crook by his mother.” Jeanne Sager finds me amusing and retweeted my words, which was nice and also makes me feel less like I’m yakking into a void. Avanti!

Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor at P&G Family Home

Kerri Walsh Birthday Celebration

We know the Olympics are over but we couldn’t resist posting these pics of Gold Medal Beach Volleyball winners Kerri Walsh Jennings and Misty May-Treanor enjoying themselves at the P&G Family Home.

Kerri and Misty are particularly fun to watch. No, not because they compete in bikinis. The Gold Medal three-peaters have a rare combination of enthusiasm, competitive spirit, and… let’s just call it “yeah!”

They look like they’re pumped up in the most positive way possible. It’s awesome.

We don’t know what the pair plans on doing next, but we’d like to suggest motivational speaking.

Kerri and Misty happen to be moms as well as big-time Olympic athletes, both having gotten married and started families since their last Gold Medal win in 2008.

Here is a gallery of Misty and Kerri pics, along with some info about the P&G U.S. Family Home. Photos and text were provided to DaddyTips by a publicity representative. Read more »

Brett Singer Tweets for 2012-08-12

This week is Brett Singer Tweets — lines from my upcoming unerotic novel “One Shade of Grey”, I point out my sadness at not seeing The B-52’s perform live, and I discover that there is in fact a baseball team called The Isotopes, just like on The Simpsons. What a world we live in. Avanti! Read more »

To Do: Update To Do List

To Do List from Family Life (1949), Prelinger Archives

What’s on your To Do List? Bet it’s not this.

To do lists are my life. I’ve tried software solutions and always go back to paper. What I’d prefer is to give the list to someone else and let them deal with it. Not gonna happen.

Instead I’ll try these suggestions from Lifehacker and the Day-Timer Blog and see if they help. Links are below.

Delete Everything and Rewrite Your To-Do List to Make it Doable @Lifehacker via Today’s Productivity Tip: Hit Restart @ Day-Timer Blog.

Image via Archive.org. More specifically it’s a still from the film “Family Life” (1949), part of the Prelinger Archives. Described as “Impossible drama proving that proper management of schedules, responsibilities, privileges and finances leads to a happier home.” Oh my.
