One of my favorite movies of Christmas time, indeed, of all time, is Scrooge with Albert Finney It is not only a visual and musical feast, it is a tale of a man’s life gone wrong followed by an amazing redemption. The story plays your emotions like a violin. You move from a sweet romance, […]
These are thoughts that I have expressed before, but just like saying “Merry Christmas”, it does no harm to repeat. I am a happy ending guy. Every Christmas I trot out some old favorite movies and see them again. My beloved wife and I watched them together scores of times, and now I share them […]

I like them too, but they consume birdseed at a prodigious rate, and I cannot afford to feed the entire squirrel population in my neighborhood. Both my feeders were advertised to be […]
To many of you, the following information will appear rather elementary; but there are others, just as intelligent, who are ill-informed about these things. This is for you.
