YouTube channels (I have … Continue reading THROWBACK THURSDAY

TWO MINI MOVIES – HARRY DRESDEN AT LARGE

The first one is 10 minutes long AND it's good. The second is just a little over a minute. We just watched Wizard and it wasn't good. In fact, it was, in my opinion, shockingly bad. The score was not written by a single composer leaving no coherency to the score. The whole movie was … Continue reading TWO MINI MOVIES – HARRY DRESDEN AT LARGE

FORTY YEARS? SERIOUSLY?

So, THE WAY THEY TELL IT, God wanted to get rid of all those who had experienced slavery. To accomplish this task, he made the twelve tribes walk around the Sinai wilderness for forty years.

RELAXING TOGETHER

Last night, Garry and I discovered peace and relaxation. After 35 years of marriage and 24 year of friendship, we settled down to listen -- together -- to an audiobook.

MEDIA WAR STORIES 4 -ON THE AIR!

It was a snowy day last week and it's snowing again. It's too warm for much snow to collect. Yes, it warmed up again. The birds are confused and frankly, so am I. Is it winter? Well, snow is coming down. But is it seriously winter? It's way too warm to be winter. How bizarre … Continue reading MEDIA WAR STORIES 4 -ON THE AIR!
