The big film style from the 40’s, 50’s and even into the early 60’s was the Musical. Just did some background checks on Musicals in Film history. In the 2000’s only one musical won best picture (Chicago 2002) In the 1990’s there were no musicals winning best picture, If you count Disney’s Beauty and the […]

AH…… HALLOWEEN HAS COME (and gone for another year by the time this post is complete). I love this time of year. Some of my cousins (on my Dad’s side) actually operate a small family-friendly attraction. They charge absolutely no admission and get lots of visitors every year. At the end of the haunt, Ed
Considering the topic of this blog one could assume that I am about to write a post about a Bart Simpson-esque student deciding to pull the fire alarm or set a trash can on fire for a gag, then get caught by police and dragged before a judge to learn that the story dad or

Full shows available on the internet. Who would have thought of that. I also have enough speed to watch one as long as I don’t make the screen too big or watch anything else. I really liked that show when it was on. What I thought was great, is that some of the things he
I feel like I can barely keep my head above water these days – I’m so incredibly overwhelmed with things to do! To top it all off, our dog had a huge swollen lump on her face that just kept getting worse so we had to take her to the vet. It’s an abscess tooth,
