Frodo and Sam .... dancing around trees !!

Tickets to the musical version of The Lords of the RIngs went on sale last month. Given that A.R. Rahman (reported to be "India's most popular composer" is writing the music (with a bunch of other folks, who we here at Team Brown don't care much about !!) , does that mean that the Hobbit's will be doing the Bhangra ? And will Arwen be donning a sari and wiggling her hips? Precious !!! Read story here.

I"m Baaaaaacccckkkkk !!!

Sorry for the hiatus folks !! but things have been busy here !! In true TeamBrown style, Mrs. B & I are now the proud owners of a condo in Chi-town (could we be any more brown.. I guess we could... if we went ahead and bought a new 3 series or something)... anyways, it was frightening handing over a decent amount of money, in the hope that we will see some return on what people keep telling us is a "good investment". We certainly have our fingers crossed.

Coming back to brownness (I just made that word up), whats the deal with ESPN going crazy with their coverage of the spelling bee. Is this now a competetitive sport ? Beats me.

But as has been happening in the last few years, a little brown overacheiver has pulled off the win again !! There is an interesting perspective on this on ESPN's site. Check it out here. Its written by some brown dude who claims that the spelling bee is "our domain of excellence". Enough said !!!
