 Gen Z, Gen Q, Gen ABC … I don't keep up with those “distinctions”. I've got kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. I have always told my kids that the music from my generation was the “best music”. Yes, it's a subjective point of view. However, after a while, my kids started paying attention to their own music, and then they started asking, “Is the 'original'?” Most of the time, I

Watch a documentary on IMDb called “Hollywood Heaven: Tragic Lives, Tragic Deaths”. I know it sounds morbid, but it’s about Hollywood stars that we loved, the sad lives they lived, and how they died. They did such a good job keeping their miserable lives a secret that everybody was shocked when they passed away. Most people know about Marilyn Monroe, but there are a lot of actors and

Reading to children is a wonderful activity for both the child and the reader.  They are saying that coloring books are proving to be an excellent therapeutic activity for senior citizens.  I'm not really into coloring because I spend so much time online blogging,  They should also say that reading books for children is great therapy for adults as well.  This I know for a

If you like crime thrillers, you'll like the movie called "Georgetown" (2019). The name caught my attention because there is Georgetown, Texas, a city near where I live, and then there is Georgetown near Washington, D.C. I used to work in D.C., and it's a lively place. This movie was set in the historic Georgetown neighborhood in the District of Columbia (D.C.). (SPOILER ALERT!)Image credit&

I miss going to the local public library. (Home-bound for personal reasons.)  Do you know the best thing about public libraries? They throw away old books. I mean … literally throw them out like trash. A bunch of books were sitting in a box, and the librarian told me I could take whatever I wanted. They were free because they were trash! Isn't that insane? “One man's junk is another

I recently read an article about female philosophers who were contemporaries with the male philosophers in the ancient world, like Aristotle, Epicurus, Socrates, etc. ("Wise Women: 6 Ancient Female Philosophers You Should Know About"). I did know one of the women philosophers named in the article: Hypatia. I knew of her because I saw a movie about her. Rachel Weisz played the part.

At one time, I wanted to write children's books. But that aspiration was never achieved. In the process of trying to learn how to write books for children, I developed a guilty pleasure. I started reading books for children. Four (4) authors write books for juveniles and young adults. There is no reason why older adults can't enjoy reading their books too.Madeleine L'Engle ( 1918-2007) The late&

Old Hollywood continues to fascinate us with its glamour, talent, and timeless charisma.

This post is a recommendation of three (3) books written by British author Jack Higgins (1929 - ), who is aptly described as "...one of the best-selling authors of popular thrillers and espionage novels."  I thought the excerpt from one of those books was a great way to pique your interest.  “Rommel.” Hitler smiled a ghastly smile that was almost one of triumph. “So, the Desert

If you are physically unable to travel, you can always watch a movie that will take you to your dream destination. Italy has always been on my travel bucket list. And who wouldn't want to go to Rome, Italy? When I was a kid, I watched a romantic movie called “Three Coins in a Fountain” (1954). There were numerous wonderful scenes of various sites in Italy. But I will never forget the scene

Growing up during the 50s and the 60s was the best of times! We did not have cable TV or online streaming back then, but most of the local stations always showed cartoons on Saturday from early morning until around noon. My siblings and I would watch them together. My youngest daughter is an adult now, but when she was little, we often watched animated movies on Saturday mornings. It was “

This Viki Original series is binge-worthy: “The King Loves” (or “The King in Love”) (2017). This series is based on the novel of the same name and is set during the Goryeo Dynasty historical period.

“There Will Be Blood” (2007) is a movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis.  He won an Oscar for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role.
