Tonight Jess had a “girls night out” with some ladies from church and left Ella and Daddy home to take care of ourselves. I quickly called one of the ladies’ husbands and told him that I was a cool daddy and was taking my daughter out for icecream and that he should join us. He accepted the offer!

Before we headed out for icecream we enjoyed our “usual” walk around the house outside and a little trampoline-jumping. When we got to the “Icecream Deli”, I bought Ella a child’s-size scoop of mint chocolate chip and we enjoyed the company of Joe & Allie. Lucky for me Ella wasn’t interested in her scoop of mint chocolate chip-goodness so I got two-scoops!

Tim Robbins, Academy Award-winning actor & screenwriter, made some pretty incredible statements two days ago at the National Association of Broadcasters Show in Las Vegas.

The knowledge of what he was going to possibly say had the NAB scrambling to turn off video cameras during his speech, but of course someone captured the audio.

This crude YouTube video captures the last 6-minutes of Robbins’ speech that are extremely moving – especially knowing the audience to whom he is speaking!

Watch this video:


I can’t help but wonder if this speech will make national news! You can bet those of us who Blog will do our best to make it news!
