Saturday Night at the Alumnni Center
December 10th, 2000

Do you think that women take more pride in being a showcase cook, or do men strut more when they have served up a meal that leaves everybody belching and having a good time? Anybody ever participated in this argument before? If you wait until T-Bone is not looking, do you ever catch him wearing a small smile of satisfaction with the job he has done while working over a fish fryer? I saw him having a good time on Saturday night at the Kerens Alumni Center and if he could strut he might have done so. Problem is, I don’t think he knows how. T-Bone is just T-Bone as he quietly goes about his job. And when all of his work is done, you look around and the Stovall family is right there cleaning up and washing the tools of his trade. This family is a role model for community volunteers, no doubt about it.

For those of you who were unable to make it to downtown Kerens this weekend, what an experience you missed. Come to think of it though, not many people missed it considering the crowd you had to ease through at each of the beautifully decorated homes on the Garden Club Christmas Home Tour. There were people everywhere!
Aside from the tour homes, there was one thing I noticed and learned from the Garden Club this weekend that can help any project in laying down a plan for a successful endeavor. One other person whom I respect quite a bit for project planning and accomplishment made the same comment while we were wandering around Kerens on Sunday. The comment was “These people are better organized than we are.” Of course I won’t mention the name (Buddy Hughes from K.E.S.A.)

Several questions have come in during the past couple of weeks concerning the changes at the Kerens web site so I thought I would spend a few words explaining where Kerens.Com is heading for the future.
A few weeks ago the entire site moved to a new web hosting service that is listed in the top ten in their respective field worldwide. They have somewhere around a million sites hosted and provide services that cannot be found with smaller corporations or your typical ISP programs. This corporation is focused on web service and that is all they do which probably is the root cause of the respect they have earned in this industry.

Released: 2004; Rating: Good
This movie is bombing at the box office, but it was a fairly good flick. Especially if you like history and of course if you have a passing interest in Texas. The beginning of the effort to make this supposedly epic movie was shot through and through with controversy when the original director turned it down because the Disney studio would not give him enough money. I think he wanted around $125 million and the studio was willing to pay only the paltry sum of $100 million. The director was Ron Howard and he had obtained a commitment from Russell Crowe as well to play Davy Crockett. That would have been a great movie. Ron also wanted to make it a realistic R rated movie as well in the same vein as "Saving Private Ryan" when it came to actual combat. But oh well, we got a relatively cheap product because the studio got cheap.

Thanksgiving is over. The commotion has died down and you probably think you
can kick back, let the dogs loose, and relax for a little while. Maybe catch
up on that monster book you have been meaning to read. But wait, what is
that distant muted roar that you can just hear when you step outside? If
Kerens was close to a beach somewhere, you might believe it was the tide
coming in and the white-capped waves were slapping against a battered
seawall. Reflecting on the landscape here though, dotted with mesquite
trees, I don't think that is the case. Maybe it could be a herd of wild hogs
running from all those highly camouflaged deer hunters that recently hit the
forests in their quest for more sausage.

Almost by accident this past weekend, I wandered into a community gathering in the United Methodist Church and what fun the crowd there was having. What kind of event was this? Well, the most famous and most visited auction house on earth today is on the Internet at www.eBay.com where millions attend on a regular basis bidding on everything from socks to kidneys. (The kidney item was withdrawn after a protest quickly became apparent.) Ebay is so successful they have their own magazine that advertises upcoming events and guides to successful auction techniques.

Have you noticed the increasing number of advertisements for Internet banking and wondered why anyone would move their money into cyberspace? Maybe noticed the signs around some banks in this area advertising free Internet Checking accounts and other cyber financial services? The relentless growth of the Internet in bringing products to you via your Web browser is not being confined to tangible merchandise, but is steadily expanding into many other services traditionally brought to you by brick and mortar institutions.

Plans are beginning to fall into place for a jolly good time at the Kerens Alumni Center during this coming New Years holiday weekend. New Year’s Eve falls on a Sunday night in 2000 so we are going to tinker with the Gregorian Calendar just a little bit and move the celebration up twenty-four hours to Saturday night instead. Will that work? December 30th in the year 2000. Mark your calendars right now because it will be another fun event in downtown Kerens, right on Main Street.

Into the night, into the gloom, there just ain’t no way I’m a leaving this room.
Now who said that?
Well, it wasn’t the Mummy; he’s all wrapped up. It wasn’t Dracula, I think he’s outside. Hmmmm, between us three then, I guess that only leaves me.

Released: 2004; Rating: Excellent
This is the first appearance by Viggio Mortenson since the final installment of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. You remember him don’t you? He was the “King” in the “Return of the King.” The main man, the head honcho, the one that wrapped up Liv Tyler, and the one they called “Strider.”
It was a little difficult at first seeing him playing a Cowboy in this almost western movie after seeing him for the last three years as a Middle Earth player amidst goblins, hobbits and elves. But, after a few minutes and after a few quick draws, his older persona began to fade away. Him and his horse both played excellent parts and maybe both will get some awards. By the way, Hidalgo is the name of the horse, not Viggio’s character. His character’s name was Frank Hopkins, a real American name.

If you have time this weekend, better stop by the Kerens Alumni Center and peek in the glass doors. Just last week, KESA closed a deal to fully furnish the building with brand new tables and chairs. Brand spanking new, smells just like a new car, and just as appreciated. In fact, it is like buying a new white shirt and tie to go under your already great looking coat. Feels good and looks good.
