High School Football

It’s time for my Midweek Recommendation, in which I commend to your attention books or music or movies or anything I find worth recommending. Go watch a high school football game. That’s my midweek recommendation. Now, I know some of you aren’t sports fans, so you can feel free to ignore this. For those of[…]

Soundtrack Action

It’s time for my Midweek Recommendation, in which I commend to your attention books or music or movies or anything I find worth recommending. I’m a big fan of ‘soundtrack’ music, in part because I’m a big fan of movies, and sometimes the music is an essential part of what I fall in love with.[…]

Don’t Do This

It’s time for my Midweek Recommendation, in which I commend to your attention books or music or movies or anything I find worth recommending. My midweek recommendation is simple: don’t tear your ACL.

It’s a Wonderful Remake

It’s time for my Friday Fun post, in which I offer nothing more than perhaps an opportunity for some amusement. A month or so ago, for the Friday Fun post, I reflected on who I would cast if Hollywood were to make a remake of “Highlander,” and I asked for your suggestions too. I enjoyed[…]

Denzel

It’s time for my Midweek Recommendation, in which I commend to your attention books or music or movies or anything I find worth recommending.

Here’s to Autumn

It’s time for my Sunday Reflection, in which I post some of my thoughts on almost any issue connected to writing, faith or life in general. So, for this week’s reflection, I simply want to say how much I like Autumn. I’m not even sure where to begin, although I suppose a logical place is[…]

The Caption Game

It’s time for my Friday Fun post, in which I offer nothing more than perhaps an opportunity for some amusement. Well, it’s Friday once more and I thought we might play the caption game again. Here’s another photo, asking for a clever caption. What do you got? I need to think about this one too,[…]

Forget Me Not

It’s time for my Midweek Recommendation, in which I commend to your attention books or music or movies or anything I find worth recommending. I have a confession to make: I like a lot of Christian Contemporary Music from the late 70’s through to the early 90’s. I know, I know – some of you[…]

Masterpiece

It’s time for my Midweek Recommendation, in which I commend to your attention books or music or movies or anything I find worth recommending. All right, for my midweek recommendation this week, I don’t have much to say. In fact, my fundamental message to you can be summed up pretty simply, as follows: Masterpiece. Watch[…]
