Just went to see the craziest group of people the other night! If you’ve seen Whose Line Is It Anyway? Drew Carey’s show? I don’t know if that’s on TV anymore, but it’s like that.

It was for a friend’s birthday and he knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who’s one of the actors. So we went, and I actually laughed till Dr. Pibb almost came out my nose!

I couldn’t believe the stuff they just come up with. I seriously don’t know how people do that. OK, now I just checked their web site (they’re called Fusebox Theater by the way! Ha!) and they’ve got something called Mouth Odyssey on Aug. 9. I don’t know what it is, but I’ll bet it’s good. And it’s free on Mondays!

They also say they teach classes. I’m assuming on improvisation and not algebra.

Bye for Now,

Looking for an unusual and far-out evening activity that even your kids will get a kick out of? Take them over to the Dyer Observatory for their Open House Telescope Night.

Seriously. It goes on once a month from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. (this month on Aug. 8th) and they let you use their telescopes to see the sun, moon, planets, and stars up close. Plus it’s free, which you can’t say about a lot of things your kids might be interested in.

Dyer Observatory is part of Vanderbilt University and is located on one of the tallest peaks near Nashville. If it’s cloudy they do tours instead and have one of their astronomers available to answer questions.

You can also bring your own telescope if you want and they’ll help you learn how to see the most with it. Though I’m going to bet their equipment is a little better.

Hey everybody! Hey, if you really want to tire the kids out take them down for some exploring around the 19-acre Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park right downtown next to the State Capitol. It’s sort of a Nashville parents’ secret. Well, maybe not so secret.

It’s great because kids have all kinds of room to run around, but mostly they will probably love to get wet in the 31 fountains. That’s a pretty popular pastime, especially this time of year. So remember to bring an extra set of clothes.

The other thing of course is that it’s free free free. It’s really sort of an outdoor museum, and they might even find the history stuff interesting. Like the 200 foot granite map or the huge globe floating on water.

While you’re there, stop by the Farmers Market which is right next to the park.

See ya!
