Laughed? Not so much. I do have a secret theory about the Jack the Ripper murder mystery which has taken some 25 years to approach in my mind. As an enthusiast I love reading all types of Ripper material, fiction, non-fiction, and just plain make-believe books. My theory? It inv4 years ago Read more -
Blog postOnce, I sat with my Great Aunt Hilda and she told me of days gone by. She was in her nineties, no small feat for a woman who had spent most of her years in the grip of the Twentieth Century.

Blog postI sat down Saturday night and put the Sci-fi classic ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK on for my teenaged son to experience for the first time. Here’s a picture in case you forgot good ol’ Snake Pliskin.John Carpenter is one of my heroes.
