Feliz Navidad
I hear this song no matter what type of radio station I tune into...
the Urban (read: black) Gospel station
the Christian Contemporary (read: white) station
the Latin music station
the top 40 station
the R&B station
Could this be the song that unites us all?

The Early Bird Gets...
How often have you left the movie theater and felt like what you just saw lacked substance? Often enough, I'm sure.
About a month ago, I had that experience, not because the movie was badly written or had terrible acting, but because no one bothered to show up to show the movie.
After I and other hopeful moviegoers got up early to get to the Landmark-E Street Cinema one Saturday morning, no one in management bothered to appear. Two junior employees came, but they had no access to the systems that control the cash register or ticket dispenser and they could not show any movies. We waited, but there was nothing they could do.
A third employee who had phone numbers for the managers arrived and started to make calls. This employee could show movies, so they offered to let us see "No Country for Old Men" for free. But by then I was tired and annoyed, so I went home.
