In the spirit of the holidays and in remembrance of one of my favorite writer/directors in Hollywood history, John Hughes, I’m going to list my favorite twelve quotes from the movie Christmas Vacation. It wouldn’t be Christmas without watching this movie at least once. 12. Clark: You can’t see the line, […]
A lot of people have asked me, “What’s up with the name of your blog?” And to them I respond, “It’s not what you think.” I haven’t read the John Irving novel “The World According to Garp” nor have I seen the movie of the same name, except in bits and […]

I bought a new alternator today. Or I should say, I had one installed in my car today. My car again runs just like it should. I feel like I’ve made a major upgrade. I think what I did is incredible. Now the lights don’t slowly dim, the radio stays […]
