Cabaret 1972 Directed by Bob Fosse Netflix says... A British scribe (Michael York) and his comrades--including a flamboyant American nightclub entertainer named Sally Bowles (Liza Minnelli)--chronicle the debauchery and turbulence of prewar Berlin in director Bob Fosse's big-screen adaptation of a musical classic.

Oh, The Places I’ve Been, Part 3
After I'd spent two nights in Virginia Beach, I headed back to Richmond, where I would stay for the remainder of my vacation. As I've mentioned (I think) in previous posts about this particular trip, I was not looking for anything exotic or exciting. I was looking for a chance to relax as much as … Continue reading Oh, The Places I’ve Been, Part 3
Question of the Week #75
After a medical examination, your doctor calls and gravely says you have a rare lymphatic cancer and only a few months to live. Five days later, she informs you that the lab tests were mislabeled; you are perfectly healthy.

The Truth About the Lies
Wednesday I played along with the twist on Two Truths and a Lie. And I promised that today I would reveal the answers. Despite having dozens of people drop by and read that post, only two decided to play along and guess at my lies. I also said I would challenge other bloggers to play … Continue reading The Truth About the Lies
Oh, The Places I’ve Been, Part 2
I get the feeling that the first post about my recent vacation was kind of boring. I mean, who wants to read a guy's complaints about two out of his three hotel rooms? So let's move on.

The Lie in the Truths

Oh, The Places I’ve Been, Part 1
Kids, I just got back from vacation and boy are my arms tired. Wait, I don't think I told that one right. Anyway, I experienced a lot of things in the last week or so and felt it prudent to share those experiences with you, my blog family. But those experiences really feel like too … Continue reading Oh, The Places I’ve Been, Part 1
AFI #64 – Network
Network 1976 Directed by Sidney Lumet Netflix says... When network news anchor Howard Beale (Peter Finch) loses his mind on the air, his outrageous rants reach viewers at home, boost the ratings and intrigue cutthroat network executives Faye Dunaway and Robert Duvall. William Holden contrasts their avarice as an old-school TV journalist hopelessly out of … Continue reading AFI #64 – Network
Question of the Week #74
Would you enjoy spending a month of solitude in a beautiful natural setting? Food and shelter would be provided but you would not see another person. I do like my alone time. I'm picturing some kind of shipwrecked, tropical island setting. There are times when I go a day or two without contact with another … Continue reading Question of the Week #74
Sticking to Your Convictions
Hey, kids… I’m out of town this week. Finally taking that vacation I’ve been thinking about for eight years. Anyway, while I’m gone some friends have agreed to write some guest posts for my blog.
