Young@Heart is not your ordinary singing chorus, because they sing rock, punk, disco, and the average age is 81 with the oldest being 92 year old Eileen Hall. The documentary follows the group over a six-week rigorous rehearsal schedule, plus practicing at home for an upcoming sold-out concert in their home town. The group has many songs in their repertoire, but Bob Cilman, the stern but sympathetic chorus director, has added several songs for the new concert. These are not easy for the group to learn such as "Yes We Can", "Schizophrenia" and "I Got You or (I Feel Good)". After several weeks of practice, the group is on their way to the local jail to give a performance,

I saw this last night with Bob at Reel Pizza. Michael Collins has the most screen time, Alan Bean is animated and funny. They're all great. It's all about Wonder. "The surviving crew members from NASA's Apollo missions tell their story in their own words."

"Claude Stephens is trying to change that. By day, he's education director at an arboretum in Louisville, Ky. By evening, he's known as Crow Hollister, his "porch-sitting alias." Stephens is founder of the Professional Porch Sitters Union Local 1339. The group doesn't have a motto, just a suggestion: "Sit down a spell. That can wait." "The Professional Porch Sitters Union is about not planning anything. Anybody can call a meeting at any time, and attendance is optional," Stephens says."

"My name is Matthew R. Enos or just Matt for short. I am an electrical engineer by training, but I exibit evidence of rightbrainedness from time to time. Railroads are a hobby of mine, as are electrical things. Right where these two hobbies overlap are railroad signals. I like them just as much if not more than the trains themselves. Railroads run on less track than they once did. There is a common misconception that railroads are a dying industry. This belief exists because railroads are no longer a direct part of most people's lives. Passenger trains have been replaced by automobile and air travel. Also, as the number of people employed by the railroad is much less, fewer people have family employed by the railroad. Finally, the caboose and its occupants have been replaced by later technology. Yet, on the remaining track, freight service has made the remaining railroads as strong as ever today. We live in an age which prides itself on appreciation for diversity. We don't like to see groups of people descriminated against or reduced to icons. Yet society has, to a large extent, reduced the Judeo-Christian community to such a condition. As a secular worldview becomes commonplace, we see people of faith represented by finatics, extremists, and hypocrites. Wrongly so! It has been the mistake of many sincere believers of these faiths to retreat from prominence in everyday life, that is, to demonstrate their value to society by living humbly and uprightly in accordance with their nature and beliefs while going about their daily lives. In much the same way as railroads suffer a lack of recognition and are yet a vital mechanism to our economy, so Christians, who have failed to vindicate themselves in the midst of post-Christian secularism, remain prominant in the fields of morality, integrity, and optimism. This is the second website of my creation, the first one being effectively destroyed by subjection to unfortunate technical circumstances. My new website is very similar to the first. While retaining some of the old articles, I have also introduced some new ones in an attempt to offer more original content. It is the hope of the author to present something that will be interesting or helpful to his readers. The content is arranged into the following few categories with corresponding links below. "
