Another fog day, so the kids are off school. They’re playing with each other right now, so I have a few minutes… why bother to start cleaning when I know that they’ll be “momming” me any second? The house is a disaster, and it needs a good few hours of attention at least. Why bother […]
I just learned that another Indiana Jones sequel is in the formative stages. Speculation abounds concerning the macguffin, the casting, direction, writing, etc. To me, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was fun if a bit far-fetched. Transporting the intrepid archaeologist to the 1950s and the era of Area 51, nuclear test

After it was decided that the siblings and I would invest in a Blu-ray machine for the parents, I decided to get something to play on it for them. For some reason, the local Wal-Mart is not well stocked with Blu-ray disks. I decided on Patriot Games which stars Harrison Ford as former CIA analyst John

Every so often I write something to try to get some of the lurkers, who read my blog, to stop and say hi. This is another of those posts. I am a numbers person, so I am fascinated by the statistics that are generated for this blog. Some topics seem to bring more people. Books,

I walked away

I was giddy as a school boy (inside) all day after I received two phone calls at work from a great friend informing me that he and his wife wanted to go and see THE MOVIE with me this afternoon. I was soooo excited… work just dragged by until 3.30 when I was allowed to

It’s no secret who one of my favorite popcorn munching, thrill seeking, Saturday afternoon movie actors is. However, like most actors worth their salt, Harrison Ford does have a repetoire that extends far beyond two of the most successful film franchises in movie history and as I have been mentioning in probably half of my

It seems that everyone is getting in the Indiana Jones spirit. While chatting with a friend I was directed to the Chicago Cubs’ website and the schedule thereof. On the May 22nd space, there appears a picture of Harrison Ford as the reknowned archaeologist ready to embark on his latest adventure. We speculated that all

…is the title of an AP article I read the other day about the price of celebrity divorces, inspired by, of course, the McCartney-Mills divorce that’s been dominating the headlines lately. I took note of this article because I was surprised that the McCartney-Mills settlement was not in the top 5 most expensive divorce settlements. In fact, the
