I have a lot of ideas for television shows. Many I never talk about. Some have been made “without” my help. But some I just must “put out there” in case they are made or in case my talking about them has some influence on someone somewhere who can make them. One of those shows is “Harry Potter.” I’m a huge fan of the “Harry Potter” books. I believe J.K. [...]
Celeste and I have been watching “Supersizers Go” on Hulu. As the description there says it’s a show where British restaurant critic, Giles Coren, and comedienne, Sue Perkins, eat their way through history.

The trick with learning Arabic is I had to make [...]

Here’s our favorite YouTube video to use for the train ride… You can learn [...]
So I watched “Judge Dredd” last night and liked it quite a lot actually. I say this not in surprise — because I actually expected to like it — but more out of a simple affirmation of, “I thought I’d like it… and I did.” I know (or knew) little-to-nothing of the “Judge Dredd” character.
