It may seem like I’m late to the Star Wars party. Well, yes and no. These reviews were actually started (and almost completed) the end of last year when I showed my wife the Star Wars original trilogy and prequel trilogy for the first time (as she is not from… Continue reading
For some time now I’ve known that I’ve needed to make some personal changes. It first started back in 2010 when I found out that I had 8 kidney stones: 3 in the left kidney, 5 in the right. Maybe it was 5 in the left and 3 in the… Continue reading
Why and How America needs Donald Trump For awhile I’ve been surprised at how well Donald Trump has been doing on his way to the Republican party’s nomination for President of the United States. I had been working on this post and hoped to release it on June 14, 2016,… Continue reading
Survivor: Cambodia: Second Chance The first episode of season 31 of Survivor “Cambodia: Second Chance” is in the books. Excellent first episode. In the past, when contestants first started reappearing on the show I was frustrated as I’m sure many were. I could almost hear chants of “they’ve had… Continue reading
Survivor The 31st season of Survivor is almost here and I can’t wait!! It’s hard to believe the show has been on for 31 seasons and it’s still going strong. I’ve loved the show ever since it’s started. Who wouldn’t like the chance to “outwit, outplay, outlast” for one million U.S…. Continue reading

The other day I realized my umbrella was missing, and had probably been missing since early October 2014. Now, there’s nothing extremely special about this umbrella. It’s one of those small mini umbrellas that fits great in a backpack side pocket where one might place a water bottle. I bought… Continue reading
I’ve noticed something “odd” a few times at work while dropping into the restroom to “download” some heavier materials. At first I thought it was a rare exception, but since then it’s happened a few times. While poppin’ a squat, some unknown person on more than one occasion has entered… Continue reading
November 2. Day of the Dead. While walking on the beach in Galveston, TX today I started thinking about “Day of the Dead” or in Spanish “Dia de los Muertos”. Not the holiday. Just the fact that for far too long I’ve felt “dead” in the realm of creativity. Ideas… Continue reading
