Meet Danny Black... wait, you already know him!

His dilemma, finding a few of us for the 'Season of Jolliness',

makes the news.... And yes, this actually came up in a news search.

Albeit, I don't how it fits what is normally considered the 'news'?

And no negative email to me, I only post them as I find them, so don't

blame me! haha;)

Hey, if you are in or around Las Vegas, tonight through Wednesday, you

might be able to catch a 'Tiny comedian filling big shoes'.

" ... lee is filling in for Burke at his comedy gig at

Fitzgeralds... "

Scroll down towards the bottom, no pic:(.

Trivia from our past:

Did you know that 1960's TV show Star Trek creator, Gene Roddenberry,

now deceased, envisioned having an lp be Spock and the one who was

considered for that role was the late and great actor, Dunn.

Scroll about half-way down to find that fact.

Snubbed Munchkins:P

Besides a pic of the snubbed ones:D, there is a slew of other pics,

featuring the late great Barty and others in one slide show and

Margaret Pellegrini and more in another slide show.

" We Can Do "

Did you know that this past Wednesday, December 3rd, was

World Disability Day, and sadly it was hardly mentioned in the US

but was celebrated big time in India and other South Eastern Asian

countries and in a few countries in Africa as well.

and here too:

and lastly here is the United Nations own 'Rights of Persons with

Disabilities' with its Preamble and all 50 articles, very, very

interesting.

An African vid by Lizzie of 'Be the Change', a CNN group

of volunteers, that was filmed in the early part of 2008, but

was done for World Disability Day.

'Be The Change' group of volunteers that perhaps are seeking more?

What a great avenue this would be for an adventuresome lp with

writing skills and a vid camera in hand to possibly be added

to this already awesome crew:), just an idea to think about;).
