In June of 1981, just after I graduated from College, Raiders of the Lost Ark was released in theaters. At that time video rental and purchasing was in its infancy. Machines were expensive, and there were the “format wars”. So the movies in the theaters ran much longer than they do now, and they were […]

Two days in a row with minimal sleep, and I’m now exhausted. I’m surprised I have kept going this long. Not much going on except that my youngest is in another play. She just finished one, and starts another 2 days after closing… Being the person that I am, I will probably help out is
I remembered a book I enjoy yearly that was made into a movie. It was an animated movie, but it was a movie. Long before Peter Jackson made the “Lord of the Rings” series, Rankin-Bass made “The Hobbit”. This was actually a decent handling of the book. This movie was designed as a family friendly

I’m not going to write about how good the show was (again). I’m just going to write a little bit about some life lessons I’ve learned over the years at our little theater. Many hands make light work. After the shows we usually need to tear down the set to make room and clean up

One of those, I shouldn’t have gotten out of bed days. I’m hoping I’m not coming down with whatever my light booth double had last week. She needed at least a few days to get over it. I don’t have that kind of time. Things I wanted to get done during the off days between
Those who know me may have different views of me based on where they see me most often. In the theater, I tend to show my more creative (silly, strange??) side. At work, I tend to the serious, more logical side. Some others will see me as a possible combination of the two. Which is

After watching “Little Women” from the light booth for a about a week now, I was wondering what kind of play my life would make. I know right now, if the author of the play knew me at all, it would not be a musical. Then again, some twisted mind would do that, just to
Yes, I’m a coffee nerd. I like good strong full bodied coffee. I of course have my favorite roasts, beans, blends, and coffee shops. But I really want to talk about the coffee shop experience. Today, a lot of people consider Starbucks to be the coffee shop of all coffee shops. They are almost everywhere.
