If They Can Be Civil…

March 20, 2016 by user 4 Comments

This photo was taken at Nancy Reagan’s funeral last week. As with everything politically-related these days, it caused some people to criticize the photo and the subjects, saying it was a phony display of affection by two arch enemies. What I see is a rare, unguarded moment between two people who might be on different … [Read more…]

Donald Trump Could Make Me Vote Republican

March 14, 2016 by user 4 Comments

Astronaut Scott Kelly just returned from almost a year in outer space, and it was reported that he came back to earth two inches taller than when he lifted off. Two inches would really help my BMI! Plus that bulky space suit hides a multitude of sins, and you probably look a lot thinner when … [Read more…]

Movies’ Magic Spell

March 1, 2016 by user 3 Comments

The day after the Oscars seems a fitting time to talk about movies. We were up late the other night watching a DVD we’d rented, and when it was over, the TV channel was about half an hour into Apollo 13. We came in just in time for the (spoiler alert!) “Houston, we have a … [Read more…]
