Where’s America

Earlier this week Loni Anderson, of TV sitcom “WKRP in Cincinnati” fame got married to singer Bob Flick.  All of us here at Where’s America want to wish the happy couple all the best and send our warmest blog wishes for many years of joyful bliss.  Why, you might ask, the sudden interest in former 1970’s sitcom stars and their nuptial news…??  Well, if you have ever seen the show WKRP and enjoyed the soothing 70’s melodious bass tones in the opening credits theme song…you are not alone!!  Those funky bass lines are performed by none other than my Dad….!!!  Yes, that’s right….its all in the family baby!  And, right on cue, here is the clip that still makes your toes tap and soul shimmy…  

Did you know that tonight, 6 p.m. Eastern U.S. daylight savings time, NASA will be placing the Phoenix Lander on the surface of Mars?  Yes, its true!  In their continuing efforts to study the surface of our reddish celestial neighbor, NASA is sending the Phoenix Lander to the Martian arctic to study frozen subsurface water discovered by the Mars Odyssey Orbiter in 2002.  AND…You can watch the landing LIVE on NASA TV.  Now, to be honest, recently I have been a bit obsessed with YouTube clips about how the Apollo Moon Landings may have been faked….I wont get into to that on this blog, but lets just say that there are some pretty compelling documentaries (not just the homemade conspiracy crazies who rant and rave…although there are plenty of those too!).  So, whether you are a skeptic, a true believer, or just a casual space aficionado, it sure isn’t everyday that one gets to watch a Mars landing live, right from the comfort of your very own computer screen.  What does the Martian arctic look like….?? Tune in tonight and see for yourself!

Summer is just around the corner and that means soon I will not have to stay up until all hours of the night watching baseball games on my laptop…. Soon I will be able to GO SEE baseball games!!!  This summer should be a good one baseball-wise…
So far I have tickets to go see an Oakland A’s game with Lisa, plans to see an Atlanta Braves game at home, a Rockies game in Denver, schemes to see a few minor league games including the infamous Humboldt Crabs, and a new secret plan to see a game at a stadium I have never been to (or ever really seriously thought I would go to).  
So to celebrate the coming of summer and America’s pastime, here is a new Top Ten list of baseball stadiums I would really like to go see a game at sometime.  Enjoy and pass the peanuts!
