Corie with a tour at our studio

Sept, 2011

Do you remember the movie "Footloose?" How could you forget, it was a staple for a generation with Kevin Bacon in the lead. So, when I heard there was a "remake" planned for this film, to say I was skeptical was an understatement.

Enter Memphis Film maker Craig Brewer. Already noticed for his "Hustle and Flow" and "Black Snake Moan" ... a remake of Footloose appeared to be on the back burner of his mind since his child hood.

I can only imagine the grief he encountered by loyalists, about putting a modern spin on a movie so many felt embodied their youth! Hey, I was one of them.

Until I saw the movie.

A great cast, a great script, and the characters all came to life again, with the drama, comedy and angst of youth. I believe those in High School are going to love this film. Kudos to Mr Brewer, for finding a "spot on" cast to deliver his version of this classic.

I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

Summer, 2011

Well, I've finally come down off my "NASA High" after being part of the "Tweet Up" for STS-135. Atlantis came home safely, the shuttle program has come to an end.

But let's remember, it's not the end of NASA or the Space Program! The ISS is still orbiting and crew members are working on science experiments.

We will continue to watch, and wait, to see how the United States responds to the need for transportation to/from the space station. We can't rely on others, forever.

Found a new "one stop shopping" spot for all your "Social Media" sites.

It's called "About me" and it really is easy. Check out mine, and see if it is for you.

Summer is winding down here in the Mid-South. Hurricane Irene spent the weekend blasting the mid-atlantic coastal states as a Cat 2 storm, and then a record "rain maker" for the northeast.
