Once upon a time there was a man with a gentle voice and quiet charm. He made several movies and worked in a TV show playing a character who rode a motorcycle from town to town, touching lives, and singing a little here and there. Then some of us didn't hear much of him for awhile. We wondered if he would ever come to sing for us again.
Michael Parks is singing, and he recorded 17 songs for us to enjoy. Included are: Where Is Your Heart (Moulin Rouge) I'll Never Be Free Don't Go To Strangers Together Again This CD was a long time coming, but it was worth waiting for. Take a trip to Listen Recordings where you can order your copy.

Joan's creations are finally finding their way out of her Tennessee community and into the hearts of admirers everywhere. Joan will be spending time this summer doing face painting and hand-painted stationery at Tennessee festivals.

Memorize his face. This man is Scott L. Schwartz. If you ever get into trouble, you'll want him on your side. This guy means business. And his business is playing big and bad. Big may come easy, because he's 6'10" and weighs about 300 pounds. I'm not sure how he pulls off the bad part though, because he actually seems to be very... Well, never mind. Just click on the banner and get ready for some action. www.ultimatebadguy.com Scott plays a camouflage wrestler in the highly successful film Spiderman. And now Oceans Eleven is out on VHS and DVD, so you can catch his action work in that film whenever you want!

If everyone except you seems to be headed off to learn something new this fall, you might like to take a look at World Wide Learn, where you can study courses, and in some cases, earn a degree, online. (Be sure to check a school's accreditation if you hope to transfer credits later.		If one of your fall goals is to firm up the flab this year, have a look at Collage Video. They have all sorts of exercise videos and some audio tapes too. And if you wonder how many calories you burn when you vacuum the carpet, or stand and sing in church, use the Calorie Counter to calculate. It personalizes the burn for your height, age, weight and gender.
It's the season of The Jewish New Year. We're approaching 5763.
