What do I need manners for? I already got me a wife.

So I've watched five Howard Keel movies in 2 weeks. What's it to you? He is only the manliest man to grace the 20th century. I'll tell you who wins the 21st century as soon as Justin Bieber hits puberty. But for now:

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers-Bless Yore Beautiful Hide

Sorry for the poor quality. Howard Keel is too good for the internet.

The best way to achieve a Howard Keel marathon:

Annie Get Your Gun (1950), Showboat (1951), Calamity Jane (1953), Kiss Me Kate (1953), personal fave: Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), and Kismet (1955).

And if you are doubting his manliness, he was also in an episode of Walker Texas Ranger in 1995. He is the tops.

I'll be missing you.

My great-grandfather returned home to our Heavenly Father on Tuesday night.

It is a cause for celebration! I cannot think of another life lived so richly with love, hard work, and happiness.

I love you Great-Grandpa. Say hi to my grandpa for me.
