How about some Sunday Stealing? Why yes, let's! 1. Would you ever try Fear Factor for one million dollars? Why or why not? Nope.

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here. 1) It's estimated that there are more than 200 separate streets called "Broadway" in the United States. Does your town have a Broadway?

Every once in awhile I wonder where a book I own might be hiding in our many bookcases. I wonder if I even still have it! When I mentioned Morning Pages in my notebook post, I got to wondering where my copy of The Artist's Way was. So I did my usual "scan the bookcases" thing, where I... um... scan the bookcases. Voila! I pulled it out and flipped it open. And boom, there was... Read more →

Saturday 9: Don't Talk to Strangers (1982) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here. 1) When did you recently have a conversation with a complete stranger? What did you two discuss? Does chatting with a server count? If so, then today. 2) In the video for this song, a woman is having a "hot" conversation on a corded, rotary dial phone in her bedroom. Do you have a landline? If so, do you have... Read more →
