These Are The Things I Think About -- Jan21st-27th

It’s awards season, and the 2013 Television Hall of Fame inductions have been announced. Sportscaster Al Michaels be honoured this year. When told about it he exclaimed “Do I believe in miracles?!, Yeesss!”…Also among the inductees is former actor, now director, Ron Howard. It’s a big year for the Howard family, as I hear Ron’s brother, Clint, is also being inducted into the Ugliest People to Ever Appear on TV or in a Movie Hall of Fame.

Last weekend, the original TV show Batmobile sold at the Barrett-Jackson car auction. When the bidding was done the car fetched an amazing 4.2 million dollars…Holy Cash Grab Batman! 

Clothing manufacturer Wrangler have debuted ‘Denim Spa Jeans’ for ladies.

Finally, “American Pie'' singer Don McLean has been fined 4 hundred dollars for speeding through a school zone. I hear he was worried it was going dry, so he was rushing to get his Chevy to the Levy.  ;-)

--Oh P.S.  After years of success, long time video game maker Atari has filed for bankruptcy. A big shock across the gaming industry, everyone involved since has been asked for their thoughts and comments. Personally, I think industry spokesperson Pac-Man describes the situation best:
