Yes, I saw the new X-Men movie (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) on the first day it opened. For you fans of comic books and haven’t seen the movie yet, I suggest looking at this as one of Marvel alternate universes. If you’re looking for comic book continuity, you won’t find it. The names have been kept […]

There’s been a lot of buzz around here about a few new restaurants that are to be opening soon in our county. One is a replacement for a restaurant that closed due to the tough economic times. The old place had good food, but their prices were kind of high for the area, and their
Happy Mother’s Day to all those who serve as mothers whether it be in the traditional sense or less than traditional. I am lucky to have had two extraordinary women to look up to and admire who have always been there for me no matter where I was or what trouble I have been in.
Well, I guess I haven’t really been that far away but it sometimes seems that way. I’ve done nothing as energetic as pulling carpet and painting. I haven’t tried out for any musicals (never will). I’ve just been dealing with daughters. Daughter getting married, daughter in her senior year, just being a dad. I did

Where have I been all week, you ask? Ok, maybe you didn’t ask (actually Mare Mare asked in her blog, but ironically, that was after I had started this post!), so I’m going to tell you anyway. My husband and I have embarked on our first major self-done home improvement project! We are now almost
The last two days saw the first weekend of auditions for Fountain City Festival’s production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I can’t say how much I adore this show. I have tried out for one production, was cast in another, and look forward to being in another. I went to try out this
Friday night saw the return of Alex Rodriguez to third base for the New York Yankees following his recovery from hip surgery. Depending upon how the Bombers do by seasons end, this game may be seen as the one in which the team turned around… after losing a deplorable 5 games in a row (their

BEWARE OF POSSIBLE SPOILERS (but I will try to avoid them) I must say that the wait was well worth it. I will say that the plot was typical J.J. Abrams. Anyone who watched Alias or watches Lost knows that his plots can be convoluted at best. That being said, everything that made the past

Tonight at 7, I will be in an area multiplex watching the first summer blockbuster of the season (did not get to Wolverine). I have watched interviews with cast members on a few of the gab fests. Surprisingly, little has been divulged concerning the plot of Star Trek which is a VERY good thing. The

I can’t stay mad at all y’all (that’s how a Southerner says it, right?) so here’s some sub news. Monday and Tuesday I was in near-city district again, and will be back there again tomorrow. 3rd grade was the name of the game Monday, and one of the first things I noticed was the teacher’s
