The In Between Time

My favorite days are the ones In Between. Everybody has a certain amount of routine which naturally gets sifted into their lives.  Life then invades our time with dinners out, shopping trips, birthdays, party's  special events, deaths, funerals, visits to the hospital and on and on.  Sometimes it’s bigger interruptions like planned trips to places you have never been before, sort of mini adventures away from your stomping grounds and venturing in to a new region of the world just over the horizon. Most people spend their lives living from one special event to the next.  They have to have something to look forward to, a reason to check the days of the calendar to count down to that next big event. ...

Die Hard Movie Marathon

The local AMC Movie theaters are running a “Die Hard” Movie Marathon on St. Valentine’s Day, the same day as the newest movie of the bunch opens at the theaters. This could be something that AMC is doing around the country or even worldwide as far as I know.  I only hope they do it again sometime so I can’t get off work to attend this awesome event. I can only think of two other movie series that I would attend an all-day marathon to go watch them all back to back. 1.  The Indiana Jones Movies 2.  The Godfather Movies I think it is hilarious that the newest movie in the series, “A Good Day to Die Hard” is opening on Valentine’s Day of all days.  I’m sorry it just catches me as funny and makes me giggle inside. ...

Thankfully there still is a love of reading and in spite of all the things vying for our attention the potential market of people buying books is growing every day. The way we read books is helping that because with the growth and expansion of e-readers around the world the way we digest our books is changing. I love the fact that many of the books I read my Kindle can read them to me with the text to speech function.  This doesn't diminish the time I actually spend...

Making A Connection

Have you ever met somebody and you could just feel the electricity, the connection, like the kinetic tumblers of life falling into place to open so unknown new path to something entirely new?  Just that hand shake, the look, something said that just lets you know you are going to like this person.  Many of us have had this happen in one way or another over the new medium of social networking here or there. Have you ever looked over and saw that person that be stills your heart and makes it seem as if the earth stood still for just a second?  Have you ever had that casual conversation with a person who seemed too dynamic, interesting and more alive than anyone else you have ever met? I was raised with people telling me things...

Book Review of Anomaly

Book Review “Becoming Milla Blaire: Anomaly” by Candice Stockstell http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009I41UQM/ref=cm_cr_mts_prod_img Candice takes you on a wonderful magical and wildly unexpected adventure in this intriguing novel.  I was astounded with questions upon questions about what was happening to this girl as I was drawn in, deeper and deeper, the more I read.  The author presents situations to her characters which makes you think about the situations.  She makes you think how you would react in those situations.  I can’t help but think that the list of adjectives you could use to accurately describe this novel could take up a whole page. I found myself laughing at times, on the edge of my seat at others,...
