What a blessing! There is nothing more beautiful than a really loved child!

Miller Outdoor Theater is showing the Back to the Future Trilogy this week! Tonight was the first night and the next two in the series are Wednesday and Thursday this week! Of course...it's FREE! DISH'S favorite price! =)

 

SO! The answer to the trivia question....

The only "official" (i.e. from the pen of the creators, Bob Gale and Bob Zemeckis) explanation I've ever read regarding this came in the fourth draft of the Back to the Future screenplay. The details were vauge, at best, and it amounted to only a line Marty uttered to his girlfriend: "A couple of years ago, [Doc] showed up at my house and hired me to sweep out this garage of his. He pays me 50 bucks a week, gives me free beer...and gives me total access to his record collection--he's got this great old record collection."

Strangely enough, though, most fan fic I've read has put Marty and Doc's first meeting to when Marty was a kid. That was also the rumor circulating a few years ago when, supposidly, a BTTF prequel was in the works called "Back to the Beginning." I never really thought about Marty and Doc's first meeting prior to reading this line, so I don't know and cannot tell if the friendship is implied to have begun earlier than Marty being about 14 or 15. Certainly Doc and Marty are good friends, but as we cannot "hang out" with them prior to Doc's DeLorean time machine creation, one wonders if the time machine events helped deepen that friendship even more.

For more details on the "Back to the Beginning" rumor, visit the Back to the Future Part IV page on "Back to the Future....The Web Page and scroll down to September 24, 1997.

There is something beautiful about celebrating a new little life! Just the mention of a baby brings joy, visions of a hopeful future and of course...SHOPPING for the cutest little, tiny clothes!! There is a very special baby coming to Houston and her name is Estelle Lillian Burrus-Pearce and her proud fathers are Michael Pearce and Matt Burrus!

They had an amazing celebration at one of DISH'S favorite spaces Philippe! They closed this place down, provided bites, drinks and everything was PINK! The way Matt and Michael announced the name they've chosen...which are both of the gentlemen's mother's middle names! What a very special tribute!...is custom made t-shirts with the sonogram of the baby and her name on them! They greeted their guests wearing the t-shirts with fake pregnancy bellies! So creative!

This amazing event was hosted by Marina Pearce, sister of Michael/host, Michelle Burrus Fuller, sister of Matt/host, and Gail Brown, our “sistah”/host. The guest list was Houston's top media players and shiney glitteratti! Cindi and Erica Rose, Monsour Taghdisi, who became a dad late last year, Kim Davis (Channel 2), Deborah Duncan (Channel 11), HAR President and CEO Bob Hale and wife Susie, HAR Executive Vice President Rene Galvan and wife Malisa, Schlumberger Deputy General Counsel Dianne Ralston, Dr. Gary Kenney and wife Caroline, Houston Parks Director Joe Turner and wife Lynda, Barbara Keeling Steen, who along with husband Oil States International VP of Legal Jeff Steen welcomed their son, Lias Fletcher Steen, Monday (two days after attending the shower)  Joe Hinojosa, John Ray and new son Peyton Ray Hinojosa, Amanda Sutliff, future first-time mom, Holly Clapham-Rosenow, future first-time mom, Cara Frederick, future first-time mom, Laura Whitley (formerly Channel 13 and mom of 3 gorgeous boys) Carolyn Campbell (formerly Channel 11)
