Personally, I find the possibilities beyond our atmosphere fascinating and wish I had the mind to absorb the hard science. I took Astronomy in college and when I struggled with the math involved I went to the professor who…
Criminy. Devin Faraci sitsus down for “the talk”. http://badassdigest.com/2014/05/18/we-need-to-talk-about-spider-man As AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 underperforms Sony must be considering how to fix their flailing franchise.

Well, my friends, here we are, home after a weekend of adventure down south in horse country. That’s a lie. We intended to spend the weekend in Lexington, Kentucky, but we never got there. Friday/travel day, we got up at the crack of eight a.m., which for us is pretty early, and arrived at the…

I’m hungry. Gimme a plate. No, a bigger one. Bigger. Bigger! Big as a house, a stadium. Now, lemme eat. Eggs and cheese and pork chops and ice cream and popsicles and pickles and brownies and doughnuts and cake and candy and pies and french fries and hot dogs and hamburgers and cinnamon rolls and…

Bought and watched The Hobbit DVD when it came out. My Mary and I had watched the full IMAX version in the theater; it’s one of her favorite books. I’m pretty fond of it as well. Enjoyed the movie again and look forward to the next installment. However, I had problems with it. Both the…
