FIRST, it was the recent Red Riding Hood which looked totally asinine. Now, I hear of not one but two updates of Snow White. Finally today no less, I learn that “the boy who never grew up” is getting a new adult makeover. Pan is going to revolve around Captain Hook and his partner Smee who […]

Tonight was my first recital EVER and the first time I have been on a stage since I graced the halls of Baskerville Hall WAAAAAAAAY back in October. Last Thursday, K was not sure where in the program of 12 students she wanted to put CC and I. When I arrived at the Little Theatre,

Just read a comic strip that involves a widower. His new love interest said the following words to him: “today was special… Because it was the first time I didn’t see Lisa in your eyes.”. Ok, that did it. Something in me tripped, and I knew I had a rant to write. So many problems

They say that time flies once you reach a certain age (or when you are having fun). To me the decade from 9-11-01 to the events which unfolded last night have flown by. I’m not sure if the killing of Osama Bin Laden will have the same, lasting impact as the destruction, devastation, and heinous
Easter is definitely a favorite holiday of mine. Can’t be THE favorite because nothing beats Christmas, but it’s proven to be even better than Halloween these days. No matter how you celebrate Easter, there is always lots to do this time of year, and I think our family found the perfect balance between celebrating the
There’s not a lot to write about in my life. I tend toward things remaining the same in my life, nothing really new that I haven’t already mentioned in other writings (back when I used to write…). Still at the same job, doing the same thing, going to church, leading 4th and 5th grades, haven’t
the AMERICAN way.” In Action Comics #900, the Man of Steel renounces his U.S. citizenship to embark upon a more global “neverending battle”. Quite a milestone in the 72 year life of the superhero who was sent to Earth from a doomed planet, raised in America’s heartland by a kindly midwestern farm family who would
