"Digital Killed The Analog Star"

HD footage of an analog TV during an actual US switch to digital broadcasting. June 12, 2009 at 12:30pm. This switch was from Atlanta's 11Alive newscast.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the actual pushing of the button due to the couple of seconds of transmission delay. But a big era in TV history is over.

This morning our little rock god, Cooper, heard Joe Satriani for the first time. Cooper's reaction was so priceless, that we grabbed the video camera. You can see his flailing air guitar at the 1:15 mark in this video tribute to Cooper's love for the axe!!! ...Ladies and gentlemen...from Atlanta Georgia... a toy guitar virtuoso...a future rock god among mortals...the one...the only...COOPER!!!

Video made using Garageband, iMovie, and $10 worth of supplies from Hobby Lobby.

I wrote this song about a year ago after some friends got divorced, and we didn't even know they had been having problems. Marriage is tough as it is, but when you try to keep up a good show for everyone, it only makes things harder. There is great value in getting support from family, friends, and a good marriage counselor.

Let's Play Pretend

"What a beautiful house," said the postman
To the lady in the polka dot dress
She flashed a smile and said, "Thank you,
I guess you could say we've been blessed."

She went back inside to her kitchen
And pulled out her Valium and scotch
She sat down in front of the flat screen
Looking for some soap to watch

Lets play pretend, lets play pretend
Lock all the doors, don't let anyone in
The inside is hell but the outside is trim
It's easier if we pretend.

"Looks like youve got it all," said the banker
To the man on his right at the bar.
"A beautiful wife, a house and two kids,
And you just bought that fancy new car."
The man flashed a smile and said, "Thank you."
As he ordered them a couple of beers.
But he failed to mention the waitress,
The one he's been dating for years.

Chorus

Never giving an inch, always taking a mile
You can hurt all you want just as long as you fake a good smile

When the children came home on the school bus
They weren't too surprised to find
Daddy was packing his suitcase
And Mommy was losing her mind

The youngest one spoke like a prophet
As she said, "Would you look at yourselves?
Do you really think it will be different,
Pretending with somebody else?"

Chorus
