Conscious Culture Eater Crossword: Marvel’s Greatest Heroes and Villains

June 29th, 2012

I’m raising surprised eyebrows at Marvel Entertainment’s decision to put their their Marvel Universe theme park in Dubai.  I mean, I only grew up watching Marvel cartoons, reading Marvel comics… I still read Marvel comics… BUT the park is being exported to another country?  I’m not mad at UAE (United Arab Emirates) or their business tycoons.  They have money, they have culture, they have prime real estate in the Middle East.  BUT Marvel could have picked a place that doesn’t cost as much to fly to for Americans… The folks who made their heroes famous in the first place…  What about Puerto Rico?   At any rate, my disappointment notwithstanding, I put this crossword together.  Enjoy.

Hump Day Crossword: I Survived an Earthquake

Did you survive that East Coast quake like I did?  While at a leadership retreat for work in the middle of the woods in Virginia, I ran for my life when the cabin we were in for lunch shook violently.  The ceiling looked as if it would come down and I ran for it yelling “Get out!” as I hurdled one of my colleagues.  I was the first one out the building.  Everyone was okay and so was the cabin. Later, as we regrouped and laughed off our nervous angst, someone mentioned how quick I ran out the building, leaving everyone else behind. I replied by saying, “Well… I wouldn’t have been able to pull anyone out of the rubble if I was dead.”
