Our Regularly Scheduled Host
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Inspired by the sneaky post Boomer made on this page, I guess the actual owner of this blog should make an appearance, however brief. I’d just like to say that the opinions expressed by my “guest” blogger may not agree with my own and I take no responsibility for anything Boomer may post on […]
Night and Day
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008Today has been abnormal and off-kilter, but not in a bad way. I woke up at 4:30am to the sound of car doors outside our house as two of our three daughters headed off on a road trip to Las Vegas (along with one fiancee and one friend). Daughter number two remained at home and, […]
The Night is Darkest Before the Dawn
Sunday, July 20th, 2008Friday morning, I saw the midnight showing of The Dark Knight with two of my daughters and two of their friends. Our local theater gave out free t-shirts with Heath Ledger’s Joker on them so we arrived more than an hour early in order to get one each and spent the remaining time before the […]
Where Art Thou?
Saturday, March 1st, 2008A new category has been added to my blog for works of art. The photo below is of a piece created for a “Recycled Art-icles” show and was taken just before heading out the door to drop off the artwork at our local college.
The piece was created from the base of an old torchiere […]
North and South
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008This past holiday weekend, two of my daughters, one future son-in-law, and I traveled down to Southern California to visit Knott’s Berry Farm…and I had the best time I’ve had in a long while. I’m not saying that I don’t have a good life and pretty much enjoy myself on a daily basis, but […]
Gold-Plated Globes?
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008The Golden Globes have fallen victim to the continuing writer’s strike. This year’s show has been cut down to a one-hour news conference instead of the normal multi-hour dinner gala. Who’s planning to watch?
Certainly not me. As a struggling writer wanna-be, I am behind the writers 110%. The media moguls need […]
Movie Day
Saturday, August 4th, 2007Today was one of those days when I just couldn’t get motivated to do much of anything and I decided to do something I don’t think I’ve done in quite some time: I rented three movies that I’ve been wanting to see because I didn’t have much else going on.
The first movie, Miss Potter, is […]
Done
Monday, July 23rd, 2007I’ve just finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but I’m not going to post a review until I’ve had time to digest - and until hubby has finished reading. All I can say at the moment is that I feel a sense of loss that this book series is done that really has […]
Countdown to the Final Book
Wednesday, July 18th, 2007We’re just over two days away from the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in the series, and the excitement is mounting. The internet is full of “spoilers” (comments giving away important plot information) so I’ve been trying to steer clear of places where I might unintentionally find […]
Potter Rules!
Wednesday, July 11th, 2007We just got back from a midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and I have to say this is the best of the movies so far. I’d been worried that too much of the book would be dropped due to length restrictions, but I give Michael Goldenberg a thumbs-up […]
