CJ — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 07:37:54 +0000

Two years ago I wrote an article following the 2019 World Cup (creatively titled, Thoughts on USWNT After 2019 World Cup). Now that the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) has completed its 2021 campaign at the 2020 Olympic Summer Games at Tokyo, finishing with a bronze medal, I figured …

I fell in love with the flute when I was around 5 years old when I saw the daughter of one of my mother’s friends playing one. You never forget your first love. While working one of my first jobs as a teen in the 70s I bought my first …

Thoughts on USWNT After 2019 World Cup

CJ — Sat, 03 Aug 2019 21:45:27 +0000

The United States Women’s National Team won the 2019 World Cup*. This was critically important for women’s soccer. It gives the USWNT leverage against the United States Soccer Federation. The USWNT and USSF have been butting heads for years about equivalently fair treatment and compensation in relation to the men’s …

CJ — Tue, 19 Jun 2018 21:28:22 +0000

The third season of Supergirl is now in the books and, overall, it’s been…well…a bit of a mess. Obviously I’ve got a few things to say about it, so let’s get to it. (Sorry for the lack of pics. A little too time-crunched with work to track ’em down.) At …

Supergirl Preemptive Season 4 Villain Plea

CJ — Wed, 17 Jan 2018 06:22:08 +0000

I decided early in the fall that 2017 was going to be a Television Holiday Movie Review-free year for me. It’s true that 2016 was mostly that, but it wasn’t my intent. I won’t lie, it’s been nice not having to churn out the words. On the other hand, I …

We are two and a half seasons into Supergirl, and one main character is still mired in a search to find himself: James Olsen. There are a number of articles on the web that have their own take on the character as to whether James is ill-used or is an ill-fit. …
