"You see, Jason was my son, and today is his birthday." ~ Friday the 13th Many people fear Friday the 13th. Did you know Alfred Hitchcock was born on Friday, August 13, 1899? He was destined to produce great horror, drama and suspense movies. For a month to have a Friday the 13th, it must…Read more Friday the 13th Part 1 and Part 2

Working from Home: Week 37
Strength does not lie in what you have It lies in what you can give. Another 10,080 minutes or so have gone by. That means another week. It's been an emotional week. Election results have mostly come in. If you missed the acceptance speeches, you should check them out here. Our current officials continue to…Read more Working from Home: Week 37
Close Encounters with Bond
"The world is not enough." ~ The World is not Enough Last Friday, we took a break from our Bond quest to squeeze in a few more Monster Mayhem movies. This week we're back with an interesting double feature: License to Kill and Close Encounter of the Fifth Kind. A License to Kill is the…Read more Close Encounters with Bond
Celebrating Life: Kiss My Keto
B is for baking beautiful bread. Another Friday has rolled around. While the election news or lack of results, has made this week feel twice as long. We're still celebrating life here! It's no surprise I love making, eating and toasting bread. I love that warm yeasty aroma as dough proofs and bakes. It's full…Read more Celebrating Life: Kiss My Keto
Remember Remember
People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people. I love Guy Fawkes day. The British celebrate a plot to blow up parliament. Soon it will be 400 years since this event took place. With any luck, the British Hubby will be in England to celebrate. We've had great fun…Read more Remember Remember
Working from Home: Week 36
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. ~ Dali Lama It's been another week. That's 10,080 minutes if you were wondering. Some how I thought there would be more than that. What's happening this week? Well, it's hard to avoid the presidential election happening here.…Read more Working from Home: Week 36
Working from Home: Week 35
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. ~ Ernest Hemingway It's the last week of October. Typically, Autumn is my favorite time of year. The days are shorter, the trees provide a spectacular show, it's officially tea/soup weather, and I can layer…Read more Working from Home: Week 35
A View to Kill and Living Daylights
"Some of the best KGB shots are women." I'm doubling up on Bond movies this week. Last week I ran out of time to get in a Friday night movie recap. The next movies on our Bond quest were A View to Kill and The Living Daylights. A View to Kill started out mid 80's…Read more A View to Kill and Living Daylights
Octopussy
"We do have one lead, Minister. Property of a Lady." ~ Bond After last week's slightly disappointing Bond movie, I wasn't exactly looking forward to Friday movie night. Either Bond movie number 12 was better, or I've lowered my standards. Octopussy was better than I expected. This movie was made in 1983. Neither the British…Read more Octopussy
Celebrating Life: Fall Harvest
A thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest. ~ William Blake Wow, sometimes life just keeps throwing obstacles at you to see how strong you are. I'm starting to feel a bit like a broken record about how hard some of these weeks have been. This week we had some unexpected bad news in our extended…Read more Celebrating Life: Fall Harvest
