Ever since Fox network acquired the rights to the World Series, the Treehouse of Terror (aka The Simpson’s Halloween Special) has been pushed to the first weekend of November. The annual episode is actually three terrifying yarns told to send chills through the hearts of audiences. Ironically, my favorite to date is the original, particularly […]
I don’t know what kept me from seeing The Incredible Hulk when it was in theatres last summer. Maybe it was the fear of being disappointed a la the original film. More probably, it was the fact that I was in a show and was really busy, because I read some reviews and got excellent

Thursday was an interesting day. I subbed for the gifted teacher at a middle school. Fir some reason this teacher has only five classes instead of the usual six. Two each of 7th and 8th grades, one 6th grade. Now what happens when the reason for the teacher’s absence is because she took the 8th

Number 1 on my list, I’ve written about before. Dracula with Bela Lugosi, the first well know Dracula, and one imitated more often than any

This afternoon at the high school, the entire student body and members of the community (too few in my opinion) were treated to a concert by America’s Finest Singing Machine, The Bowling Green State University Men’s Chorus. Although its size has dwindled and it is now under a new master from when I was a
