Another Round is the title of a Danish film by Thomas Vinterberg. I reserved the film without knowing what it was about, but I noticed how much in demand it was, so I signed up. I did not realize it was subtitled, which may be part of the reason I watched it twice. I found … More Another Round (2020)
For a band that did not write much of their own material, these guys have a bunch of hits. It is impossible to think about the late 1960s and early 1970s without some reference to a Three Dog Night song. The band’s name originated from the Australian Aboriginal custom of sleeping with dogs to stay … More Three Dog Night
On cows and bulls. What? That’s a new subject. Who would have thought that the trimming of hoofs could be interesting or even captivating? I did not . But I’m hooked now. You are shaking your head, right? I did too, at first. Obviously, there is everything on YouTube and somehow a video of a … More Hoof Trimming
I have always looked this country as brimming with hope, not perfect by any measure, but evermore a high road of democracy. People risk their lives to come here for a better chance. Our democracy and freedoms are envied. Yet, a major divide exists internally, we are both a nation of people wanting to kick … More Me the People

A trek to an inverted neighborhood Nothing soft about hardwood Looking eye to eye with shoes Footwear gossip if they choose Rising to speak and people stare My words drift sideways thru the air Snaking thru people to the objective A smile might change her perspective Life is busy inside my head It’s lonely here … More View From the Floor

I was never a huge fan of Elvis, though I respect the legacy. His impact on rock and roll, and pop culture, is undeniable. Elvis was at the pinnacle of his musical and star power until the Beatles. The Beatles changed everything. For me, and this is just my opinion, Elvis stopped evolving, but the … More 1960s Elvis (Before the Jumpsuit)
Sue Grafton was my favorite mystery writer. She wrote the popular alphabet detective series of Kinsey Milhone. Grafton died several years ago before she could complete the alphabet, but she got close. In the years since, I’ve continue to enjoy the series of David Baldacci (although I missed the Camel Club), Lee Child’s Jack Reacher … More Stephanie Plum: Bounty Hunter
