Several friends have been encouraging me to watch Bride & Prejudice, but for some reason it just never worked out. I wasn’t opposed to watching it, but, I have to admit, it wasn’t at the top of my to-do list. I think part of my hesitation was because I didn’t particularly care for Bend It [...]

You might have heard that The Complete Calvin & Hobbes is being released in hardback in a few weeks. Check it out at Amazon.
I’ve loved “Calvin and Hobbes” since it first appeared in my local newspaper and even now I read it online every morning. But I don’t know that I’ll be spending roughly $100 [...]

Google has added a new blog search tool, aptly named, Blog Search beta.

Reggie works on his novel

I enjoyed last night’s episode of Foyle’s War (episode 1 of season 3). It was engaging, interesting, covered an aspect of the British war effort that I knew little about, had great acting and good locations, but …the ending. Ugh; PBS and their inept editing.

The third season of Foyle’s War starts on PBS tonight! Finally! It aired in the U.K.about a year ago. It only took a few episodes for Foyle’s War to become one of my favorite shows. In a nutshell, it’s about Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle and his crime solving efforts in southern England during WWII. [...]
