  Journey to the Center of the Pennsylvania

  posted by matt | 07.25.08 | permalink | 2 comments

  Kristen and I are heading back to her home-town of Palmyra, Pennsylvania this weekend, and Heather sent me an email earlier.

  Just wanted to wish you well on your trip to PA this weekend.

  What’s kind of weird was this coincidence.

  It’s funny that you sent this because Open Arms is currently playing in my earphones.

  So of course, Heather sends me a reply. Attached was a little file called Journey-CompleteBand.jpg.

  Attached is a great photo of Journey that I found.

  Can you guess which one is me?

  We’re big fans of Photoshoppery here at Songspeak. I think it might be Heather’s fault.

  

  Oh, by the way, the title is a reference to Journey to the Center of the Earth. Funny thing about that is– If you weren’t near Iceland and needed to attempt any kind of travel to the center of the earth, Palmyra might be a good place to do this. It’s known for its sinkholes. They even have a restaurant called The Sinkhole Saloon.

  Another fun fact about Palmyra is that parts of the John Travolta movie, Lucky Numbers was shot there.

  John Travolta may not have been to the center of the earth, but he was in Battlefield Earth.

  

  Love is a Battlefield. At least that’s what Pat Benatar said.

  

  Okay, I think I’m done.

  Strangers in my pants

  posted by jamie | 05.15.08 | permalink | 1 comment

  I have to attend/work NACA shows from time to time. The Mid-Atlantic Regional NACA Regional Conference happens to be in Lancaster, PA most years. My wife Jo and daughter Quinn come along with me.

  Getting ready to leave for the big road trip from Massachusetts to Lancaster, PA we stopped by Cumberland Farms so Jo could get some chocolate milk and water for the trip. While she was inside and I was in the car with our daughter Quinn, I had my window open. A guy wearing a baseball cap and jeans (very Joe Schmo looking) was getting into a pickup truck parked nearby and sang, “Strangers in my pants” to the tune of Strangers In The Night by Frank Sinatra. One of the most random songspeaks I’ve ever experienced.
