My daughter Disney is not yet 2 and has already entered the question phase – a time of life when a child asks questions about anything and everything. It seems a little early for this; I don’t seem to remember her two older sisters entering the question phase until about 3½ or 4 years old. […]

I saw the movie Lakeview Terrace yesterday, and I decided to merge it with the title of another movie, Fireproof, for my post title because Fireproof almost stole the show. An action thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson, Lakeview Terrace is about a tough Los Angeles cop who does not like his new neighbors, seemingly because they are

The other night some friends and I had a conversation about local murders that have taken place in our county. Because we are a rural county, murders here are few and far between.

I got an email today called “What do you remember?” – it’s a list of tv shows that aren’t on anymore. You add your name and a show you used to watch to the list and send it on. It made me think of a kids’ show I used to love called, “The Roller Coaster
I just might have to start calling myself a Kid Rock fan… ok, no not really, that’s going way too far. It all started when I was able to catch a few minutes of country music radio – a rare treat for me because when I’m doing errands in my car every day, I’m usually
During our community theater’s run of The Nerd, they designated one of the nights “80’s Night” since the play was set in 1985. I enjoyed the opportunity to visit the local thrift stores with a mission – looking for components to complete my 80’s look. 2 thrift stores are within walking distance so I just packed up the
While I’m on the subject of reading… I came across a cool looking device on amazon.com the other day – the Kindle. Have you heard of it? I hadn’t, but it sounds pretty cool. Basically you can upload books, magazines, and even blogs to this portable device so you can read them anywhere. It appealed
