I was rummaging through my bookcase the other night looking for something to read and came across a hardback copy of True Blue. Not sure when exactly I picked it up, but if I had to guess I’d say it was for Christmas last year. In any case, I’d just gotten done reading the latest trade of Fables so I cracked it open.
WARNING: THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS
Mason “Mace”Perry is a former police officer in D.C. who was framed for a crime she didn’t necessarily commit (sounds eerily similar to the A-Team doesn’t it?) Her sister Beth… Continue reading
I’m sure this is way old and everyone has seen this before, but I got this sent to me the other day via email and it once again struck a chord. This is a commercial that Budweiser aired during the 2002 Super Bowl just a few months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This commercial has only been aired once because Budweiser didn’t want to financially benefit from it. (Snopes article about the video)
I lived in Washington on that day so I remember very well what it was like. Just because we’re a few years removed from that… Continue reading
As the cover says, The Lost Symbol is written by Dan Brown (author of The DaVinci Code). Many people believe this is Brown’s third book overall, but in fact it’s merely the 3rd book in the “Robert Langdon Trilogy” (it’s actually Brown’s 5th novel).

Like The DaVinci Code and it’s predecessor Angels & Demons, this book follows Dr. Robert Langdon as he goes on a treasure hunt. Set in Washington, D.C. and dealing with Freemasonry, The Lost Symbol is an outstanding follow up to Code. Langdon gets an early morning phone… Continue reading
I feel compelled to write something today – the 8th anniversary of the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. and the fourth plane in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. 2,993 people died that day and millions more were affected.
Amanda and I were living in Washington, D.C. and I remember it like it was yesterday. The Internet came to a crawl because everyone was trying to figure out what was going on. Phone lines were jammed and cell phones were unusable. A co-worker’s father was in the Pentagon that morning. He was… Continue reading
I’m going to write this review in much the same style that I used for my review of the original movie. Before we get started realize that this will contain spoilers so if you want to watch the movie fresh skip this post and come back after viewing.
The Transformers
More of the same goodness that we got in the first movie. Optimus Prime kicks MAJOR ass in this flick. At one point he roars “I’ll take you all on” and I literally got goose bumps. That was of course until he went and got himself “killed”. Silly Optimus. … Continue reading
