Well, I made progress…not as much as I would have liked, but I have a teensy idea of an outline – the scene I should start with and how it will all work out. The problem is there is SO MUCH MATERIAL!! Now I'm thinking it would have been best to turn this into a…

Imagine rich, red velvet draperies and settees…gold and gilt…paintings and statues. That was the Capitan Theater – the place to be on Saturday mornings. It's where I fell in love with Elvis singing Viva Las Vegas and where the original Children of the Corn chased me into the lobby. I was too young to make…

Last Saturday, I slept until 11am and got nothing else done. That was okay. But this week my to-do lists are weighing heavier and heavier on my shoulders. I'm sinking…DROWNING… So this Saturday I'm kicking into high gear, pencil out, ready to start scratching things off and burning the lists. Heck, I'm so pumped, I didn't…

Okay, I can't help it. I still think Tommy and Kirby as Mr. and Mrs. Smith (aka Branjelina) a couple of years ago is one of my all-time favorite couple-costumes. I just had to share the photos…. Happy Halloween again!!

I fell asleep last night doing my homework – I was watching "To Kill a Mockingbird." I love that movie – it's one of my top three favorites (along with Monty Python's "Search for the Holy Grail" and "Mary Poppins" – what a combo, right?) I only fell asleep because I'm exhausted from trying to…

Tom and I finally got around to watching "The Bucket List" Saturday night. Yeah, I know we're a little behind the times, but that's nothing new. I thought the movie was a tad contrived, predictable, and corny in places, but the overall theme is a good one to set you thinking about what you…

Six hours munching popcorn, laughing, crying, gripping my armrail. What a way to spend a hot summer evening, a flashback to watching "The Cowboys" with John Wayne twice in a row with Gina Clark – we wanted to drool over the badboy Cimarron (played by actor A. Marinez – we watched for the…
