Sunday afternoon, I took my 4 year old niece to watch our theatre’s annual Children’s Workshop and its presentation of The Phantom Tollbooth (or if you prefer, Toolbooth). It was throughly delightful. The performers ranged in age from 7-17. Although the older cast members showed more seasoning (no… not cooking… meaning experience), the younger thespians […]
I was just doing a little late night surfing and found this in the “Odd News section”. Seems like fighting beetles is a big thing. After you see the video can you imagine the size of those beetles?
