Saw something recently that I wouldn't try, and I'll try most foods.

BBQ Sundae they called it.

It was in a decent sized Mason jar, with ice cream on the bottom, then baked beans, then whipped cream, then BBQ sauce drizzle on top.

Hard pass.

Dateline Cleveland:

A former school dance teacher in Cleveland faces up to life prison after being convicted Thursday of raping six teenage (male) students and sexually abusing two others.

Jurors in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court also found Terence Greene guilty on kidnapping and felonious assault charges.

Greene, 57, was an acclaimed dance teacher who helped launch the careers of many young dancers, including some who performed on Broadway.

Prosecutors said Greene began sexually abusing a 14-year-old boy in the late 1990s, soon after he was hired by the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.

The eight victims in the case were ages 14 to 17 when the abuse began, prosecutors said.

Greene resigned from a high school for the arts in 2014 and later began working at Cuyahoga Community College, where the abuse continued until 2019, according to prosecutors.

A message seeking comment was left with Greene’s attorney on Thursday.

In 2021, the Cleveland public school district agreed to pay a $3.25 million settlement after eight former students filed a lawsuit accusing the school of failing investigate past claims of sexual abuse against Greene.

Greene had been found not guilty of sexual battery charges involving a student in 2004 and returned to teaching that year.

The students’ lawsuit said the school allowed Greene to continue to share hotel rooms with students on school-sanctioned trips.

After resigning in 2014, Greene began teaching at Cuyahoga Community College’s dance academy for children. The college has denied being aware of Greene’s past claims of sexual abuse.

CMSD settled the lawsuit in 2021 for $3.25 million.

Greene had resigned from his job at the Cleveland School of the Arts over sexual abuse allegations back in 2014.

Despite those allegations, Cuyahoga Community College hired Greene to teach children in 2015.

Some updates in the life of Al Van Bundy (aka Patrick, aka hey you behind the bushes - bonus points if you get that reference)

1. The Van Bundy household has a new family member! My fiancee and I adopted a 2 year old black domestic long hair kitty cat. Her given name was Precious, but we're calling her Blackie, because that's the name of the cat we were originally going to adopt & it just fits well. Plus, Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P. is one of my favorite singers.

2. We saw Candlemass on Wednesday night at the Middle East in Cambridge, MA. It was only one of two East Coast dates they are doing this year, and since we missed them last year, we had to bite the bullet and go, even though it was during the middle of the work week, a late show & an hour away from the house. Guess what? It was worth it. For those unfamiliar with Candlemass, here's a video below from a few months ago. I call them Swedish Sabbath.

Nice!!

Congrats on getting a young black kitty! Love them all, whatever color they do have. I have 03 cats - a russian blue one (Pequena Penélope Charmosa Peps di Pepperoni Berdinasi Mezenga or just Peps), a striped one (Spock Bocollati or just Pock) and the black cat (Anya Manuela Pavlutchenkova Mambiba Panthera Feroza or just Manu). Not so sure if I posted pics of these cats here, but I'll see and fix that.

And thank you for sharing the Candlemass video - I remember back in the day when Epicus Doomicus Metallicus was released and this tune was huge here. I also was a fan of Pentragram and I used to listen to both albums (EDM and Relentless) a lot!! Oh, I almost forgot - Trouble's Psalm 9 was another record I listened to A LOT during those days - 03 great Doom Metal bands that had The Sabs as their main inspiration!!

Way to go, man!!

Our new fluffball, Blackie (after Blackie Lawless, of course)

Also responds to Bubba & BONK (as she headbutts everything and everyone)

Today is day 3. She's getting more and more comfortable by the hour. Was very shy and skiddish for the first 24 hours. But now she hops on our bed to get comfy between us

Troy Aikmen beer.....#8

I've had his beer. I wouldn't call it awful, but it is very, very light. Think bud light then add a bit of water.
