Perhaps in an attempt to put closure on a character he introduced to millions of fans everywhere over 4 decades ago, Sean Connery has pondered the possibility of returning to the Bond franchise. Not as the British superspy, but as a villain. That would seem to me to be a first. An actor who originated […]
Everyone knows that most famous people do not become so overnight. In fact, the majority of today’s stars led everyday lives and some of them probably wished that they had. Here is but a sampling of the “odd jobs” and other highlights of some famous people. Dan Aykroyd and Steve Carell both worked for the
Usually I go a long time between seeing kids from my church in their natural daily habitats. Tuesday was the super day, way out of the ordinary. Today I ran into another one, apparently whose memory was not as good as the one I ran into on Tuesday. This time he wasn’t in my class,

As an animal lover, I am a big believer in getting as many of your pets from a humane society as you can.
