Savor Those Tunes – Great Movie Music

This presentation, lasting about an hour and 15 minutes, uses PowerPoint images and film clips to focus on the classic music and theme songs from the great films.

When it’s done right, music sets the mood and guides movie-goers through a magical, emotional roller coaster ride. And there might be a few surprises.

For instance, do you know who sang “Moon River” in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”? Here’s a hint. It wasn’t Andy Williams.

We’ll revisit mood-setting tunes like “The Way We Were,” “Singin’ In the Rain” and so many more.

If I'm lion, you dirty rats are dyin'

Must-have items on today's shopping list:  Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream (half gallon now only $8.99!), a big ol' bag of Halloween candy and mountain lion urine.

What, you're shocked?

Me, too.  I can remember when a half gallon of Blue Bell was $2.99, or on sale for 3-for-$5.  That's at least a dollar less than what they're getting for a pint now.  If my math is right, there are four pints in a half gallon.  Shouldn't a pint be about $2.25?  Of course not.  That would make too much sense, and, apparently, way too little cents.

What, that's not what shocked you?  Must be the Halloween candy.  The best bargain in town this week has to be leftover Halloween candy.  One of those giant gut-buster bags of bite-sized morsels such as BabyRuths, Whoppers, KitKats and Butterfingers, my personal favorite, are marked down to half-price now.  That means only 25 or 30 bucks a bag.
