WEEKLY BLOG UPDATE

WEEKLY BLOG UPDATE

Center for the Arts has a post on their Opening Night reception and Dave Fry Children’s Show along with ones on parking (now available on show nights at KNBT and Lafayette Ambassador Banks) and upcoming events.


Clonehenge “traveled” to South Africa for its latest post on a henge used as a part of a floral display.


House to Home has photos and a post on the kitchen makeover. I’ve already suggested she should be on next year’s Holiday House Tour!


Steaming Cup of Joe has a post on Jarrett Brown’s “Nazo State of Mind”. I got a note a few weeks back from a reader about the song because it mentioned “NewsOverCoffee” and I shared it on my page along with getting the MP3 posted on the home page. Jarrett was kind enough to post the lyrics for a friend who asked. I’ve copied them and they are at the bottom of this post (he apologized for the typos as he quickly typed them in from memory). Take a listen you’re bound to get a kick out of it.


Lehigh Valley Ramblings has more than a few posts on congress and the local congressional race between Dent, Callahan, and Towne. He also has a follow-up to the letter he posted from Kurt Vonnegut to his family, a copy of which was later given to the O’Hare family. Bernie’s father and Vonnegut were POW’s together and friends after the war.


Tatamy Happenings has a reminder for residents to move their cars from snow emergency routes.


Weird Nazareth also has an ode to “Nazo State of Mind” with a link to a YouTube “video” of the song, which is really just a shot of the Circle along with the song track.


Nazo State of Mind by Jarrett Brown:


YEAH I’M UP ON EAST LAWN
