Why 26? And other topics

SU was just on CNN.  I miss it. ANYWAY, why, per my last post, am I dreading 26?  The people want to know!

Jesus Camp Review

I suppose it figures that the first two paragraphs immediately after my post on living healthier will be about how I’ve been falling apart today.  Murphy’s Law. But, I woke up this morning not feeling the best, and I continued to not feel the best all day.  I don’t feel terrible; I just don’t feel [...]

Netflix and Newshour

Link du jour: Newshour with Jim Lehrer takes an in-depth look at the Voice of America.  I could have thought of a few more issues to raise, and a few more angles too look at some of the issues already presented, but all in all, this is exceptionally well done.  (And it’s cool to see [...]

Currently Watching Born Into Brothels: Calcutta’s Red Light Kids see related  So, I subscribed to Netflix! I’ve never been a really big movie buff. I frequently find myself saying, “That looks good!
