What Brown did for me
Another title for this blog could be, "Customer Service, the rumor of its death has been greatly exaggerated."

DART: More than just a word
Hopefully you've read today's Dallas Morning News Word change in DART policy raises questions from gay rights activists and/or Dallas Voice DART guts transgender policy regarding the recent activities of the DART board.

Xanadu? Xana- Do!
I just can’t remember if I saw the film Xanadu in 1980. I have to assume that I did because I clearly remember seeing the Village People in You Can’t Stop the Music, so why wouldn’t I see Xanadu? In 2008 I saw (and loved) the Uptown Players production of Zanna, Don’t! which I assumed ...

Normally a headline like "Jail guard fired over comments" wouldn't get more than a glance ...
