When I was little, Disney movies like the Aristocats and Cinderella were events—usually taken in at the drive-in, packed in with my cousins and a favorite maiden aunt.

For my kids, though, their fond memories of childhood will have been created by Pixar. Our oldest daughter’s first movie experience was Cars, and we’ll try taking our youngest to Up within the next few weeks.

There’s a good reason for this—Pixar’s long and storied history of writing stories so compelling, creating worlds so rich, that the parents are just as eager to watch the movies as the kids (I’ve been known to throw on Ratatouille, my favorite of the bunch, after the kids are in bed.)

Sears’ givetogether program

The weather’s heating up, you’re officially allowed to wear white, and most shows are airing their season finales. That means it’s right about time for sussing out your summer entertainment options.

Now that the networks have started showing original programming instead of a full slate of reruns, you’ll find some new TV shows to try (The Goode Family, by Mike Judge of Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill fame, seems primed to be a hit). And of course, the multiplexes are filled with blockbusters galore (you’ll find me at Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on opening weekend).

How do you plan to keep entertained through the hot summer months?

Apparently, those new TSA security machines show more than just a concealed weapon—the whole body images they create can reveal how you look in your birthday suit.

Of course, the TSA is saying that they won’t be using this for evil—the people who work the machines aren’t allowed to have recording devices, the computer used doesn’t allow images to be stored, and the person’s face is blurred out.

But I’m not ready for that kind of closeup yet. And I’m willing to bet that it won’t be long before the slippery slope slides into more accurate depictions of what you’ve got going on under your clothes—and a few leaked TSA shots of celebrities in the altogether.

Let’s hope the privacy organizations that are fighting the new technology win. Otherwise, it may put a damper on my desire to travel the world.

I’ve never understood the fascination with Jon & Kate and their massive brood. I tried watching the show a few times, just because I’d like to see how someone manages a whole passel of preschoolers, when I have trouble wrangling two.

But I couldn’t get past the completely horrible, disrespectful way that Kate treated Jon. Not that I think the husband should be revered in some kind of freakish, ultratraditional “head of the household” kind of way. But if you’ve vowed to partner for life with someone, shouldn’t you pick someone that you admire, that you think is up to the task of managing half of your family responsibilities? And then, treat them like they are a capable human being.

Guess that explains why he’s been allegedly sneaking around behind the shrew’s back. If you aren’t getting support and admiration at home, you will seek that elsewhere.

In further bizarre Jon & Kate news, apparently, Kate thinks everyone wants her bizarro, asymmetrical do. She. Is. Wrong.
