The Reason Behind it All
Some people (but not all people) have probably wondered how I came up with "Everything's Better with Cheesecake" for the name of my blog. Aside from the obvious reason, that everything really IS better with cheesecake, there is another reason--nostalgia.
Growing up our family went on many-a-trip to Lake Powell with our cousins. As most families do, we (meaning my Uncle Steve) took video footage. And as most families do, we acted silly in front of the camera.
Here is where we diverge from most families: as most families do not do, we (among other things) created plot lines, action sequences, music videos and chaos at various Southern Utah grocery stores; then we (here again I mean Uncle Steve, with the help of Rick) edited it, and aired it on a Pocatello public television station. We did this for a lot of years.
So, pretty much, we are famous in Pocatello, Idaho.
Here are some classic clips (clarity is not fabulous, but you will get the idea):
For full-length screenings, you can contact me personally.

I think there needs to be a sequal -- Powell Now, Work Later -- 13 years later. Anyone interested?
OK, no fair following my blog and not telling me about yours!!! ha ha... glad I found you! Now I can stay in touch better. Hope things are well with you guys... and Paul gets feeling better! Yikes! We need to catch up.
Soooo, I never expected to laugh myself to the verge of tears whilst sitting here at 5 AM doing the mommy cow pumping thing...but those Powel videos certainly changed that! Holy nostalgia! While I was only featured in one of these videos I LOVED watching my fellow cousins and every year I couldn't wait for the next "season" to be "released." Thank you so much Sher for posting these...it made my day! Hey, for the sake of having my own copies, if I brought over some dvd's would there be a way of making some copies?
