Not A Pub Crawl
Today is your last day to take the five question reader survey. Click here. I hope to have the results compiled for you next week. I have an addiction. I can’t resist the printed word. If there is text available I read it. It doesn’t have to be something that I am interested in either. […]
Star Trek at 50
Don’t forget that my reader survey ends tomorrow. I really would like your feedback and it will only take a couple of minutes. You can find it here. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xv3g1h_star-trek-tos-2x25_shortfilms I noticed a few days ago that Thursday was the 50th anniversary of the initial broadcast of the first Star Trek television show. I thought about […]
Overdrawn At The Sperm Bank – II
Yesterday I wrote about life imitating art, more or less, in my interpretation of a news story about an American sperm bank. Today my thoughts continue. My curiosity get the better of me and I looked on the sperm bank’s website. Privacy is very important to them, all information is kept confidential. Well, we know […]
Overdrawn At The Sperm Bank – I
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2MD0qJkWzU There are times when fiction and reality seem indistinguishable. Sometimes comedy can ask some serious questions. Occasionally I see things in the news that have been foreshadowed by books or movies. Such was the case last week with a news story that brought to mind some moral and ethical issues. I saw the […]
The Famous Tower
If you are looking for an in-depth examination of Pisa and its famous leaning tower, you’ve come to the wrong place. It was never on my list of “must see” tourist sites, so I didn’t plan my visit. We were heading to Sorrento after a couple of days in Manarolo in the Cinque Terre. The […]
Technology Scares Me
Don’t forget to take my five question reader survey if you haven’t done so yet. It wont take long, and I’d really appreciate the feedback. Click here and enjoy. My car is insecure. I don’t mean that I left it unlocked. It sent me an email; it wants me to answer some questions about its […]
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Just a reminder before we start today’s post, I’m doing a reader survey. It’s short and no personal information is required – it’s not a marketing gimmick. If you haven’t taken it yet click here. I’m collecting responses until September 10. I’m sure it works better on stage. And probably most of the millions of […]
Cinque Terre II
Today it’s mostly pictures. I have quite a few from our 2009 visit to Cinque Terre, and thought just a few samples were in order. And a reminder of course – if you haven’t taken my reader survey, there is no better time than the present to click here.
Cinque Terre I
If you haven’t yet taken the reader survey what are you waiting for? It’s only five questions and can be found here. I can only imagine what the hard trails are like. That’s what was going through my head after the first hour of our hike. It was only 8:30 a.m.; the day’s heat […]
