So, I think it's pretty cool that DePauw now has this 400-some acre Nature Park, but am I the only one that thinks it's odd that DePauw has a Park Ranger?
PUNKY QB ON COMEBACK TOUR: Many a Chicago sports fan will remember 1985 not only as the last time the Bears won a Super Bowl, but also as the Year of the Shuffle. Walter Payton, Mike Singletary, Jim McMahon and the rest of the Bears recorded the "rap" video for charity but, in what was obviously some sort of mix-up, it was actually nominated for a Grammy. Really. Anyway, while I'm sure you all have a copy of it on VHS, you most certainly don't have the digitally re-mastered Super Bowl Shuffle 20th Anniversary Collectors Edition DVD. Call now to pre-order!
DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU... After a string of animated blockbusters such as Brother Bear, Treasure Planet, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, The Emperor's New Groove, The Lion King 1 1/2, Cinderella II: Dreams Come True and, of course, Atlantis: Milo's Return, Disney CEO Michael Eisner says he will retire when his contract is up next year. That could open the door to bring Pixar back into the Disney fold. Eisner played hardball with Steve Jobs when it came time to renew Pixar's production deal with Disney. Thing is, Disney's only cinematic asset other than Pixar is Hillary Duff. Jobs ended negotiations... but didn't bother signing another deal with a different studio. The two companies are still under contract to work together through 2006, so maybe a new deal will be hammered out once Eisner is sipping smoothies on the beach in Malibu.
SPEAKING OF MALIBU: I drove down to visit Dan and Angie for the day last week. I posted some pictures here.
IN OTHER NEWS: The Soup Nazi plans nationwide franchises and South of the Border has a Web site. Who knew?
