Friend of mine, (the guy who taught the GF and I to climb), is a DM, busy doing his Adv. Instructors. He's gotten me geared up in the pool, and it's fun and all, but I don't think it's for me.

Hurray for life. it is not easy out there right now. is there any chance you or a family member are a vet? there are benefits for homele...

scuba dive in the islands I highly recommend getting certified before going. Hotel dive training is not enough. Stay away from cattle karts, because the dive masters will have their hands full and at 65 ft or more or in a drift dive you don't want to have a problem in the rear of the pack. Instead ...

i hate when one of my teens dismisses me with ........"whatever"

beautiful movie! Kate Winslet has become an amazing actress. one of my favorites movies this year, actually the favorite. I thought the movies power was in its restraint.

"everything that passes unattempted is impossible."

Sniper Harry Chapin It is an early Monday morning. The sun is becoming bright on the land. No one is watching as he comes a-walking. Two bulky suitcases hang from his hands. He heads towards the tower that stands in the campus. He goes through the door, he starts up the stairs. The sound of his foot...

have you seen the extended versions? They really bring out Borimir's character much more.

tomorrow i'll take a long walk in Sandy Hook National Park and Fort Hancock. The beaches are long, cold and abandoned at this time of year. If lucky I'll get to explore the empty fort ruins, army barracks and gunneries. It is a really beautiful and jolting and stimulates the writer in me. my crazy d...

Kate Winslet in The Reader was amazing, Then comes Wall-e which I adored.
