I love TV and I spend a fair amount of time unwinding at the end of the day in front of my favorite television programs. I’m one of those people that loses themselves entirely in a program. I jump when I’m startled. I cry when I’m sad. I picture myself in the program. The Showrunners […]
Video games are a big part of my life. When I was a child, my father worked in the computer section of AT&T. I remember him bringing home the very earliest “computer game” and spending hours playing it. My husband is a huge World of Warcraft and Everquest fan. Both kids are avid gamers. In […]
The civil rights movement is still very much alive today. I was born in the sixties and I didn’t really know much about the civil rights movement except for what was taught in schools. I’ve never seen a sit-in or a march or a demonstration. It’s more important to me what type of person you […]
When I was younger, one of the few channels my parents got on television was PBS. We didn’t get cable, and I spent a lot of time watching documentaries and educational programs. Those early years on PBS, watching Julia Child, are also what got me interested in cooking programs. Now that I’m older, I enjoy […]
Marty and I have always been into preparedness. We stock up. We think about what we’ll need in emergencies. We try to be prepared just in case. You never know what will happen and living in a rural area, if we get stuck, we’re stuck. Blackout PBS American Experience on DVD gave me insight into […]

I’ve always enjoyed Disney movies but didn’t know a lot about the man behind the movies. When I was sent American Experience Walt Disney for review, I looked forward to learning more about Walt Disney. Marty and I sat down and watched the DVD a few nights ago. American Experience Walt Disney Walt Disney offers […]
Sometimes it seems like there is so much negative news that it overshadows the positive. I love it when I learn about people who are trying to do good things in the world. PBS Operation Wild has shown me that there are veterinary teams around the world that are attempting to save animals’ lives. PBS […]
Marty and I had a few minutes to unwind last night and watch a movie together. It seems like that doesn’t happen anywhere near often enough lately. I was sent this Secrets Politics and Torture Frontline PBS DVD for review, so we decided to watch it together last night. Secrets Politics and Torture Frontline PBS […]
I remember the first time I heard about Bitcoin. I remember thinking “Why would anyone want that? What a silly idea.” Did you know that today one bitcoin is worth over $200? Really. I checked. If only I had grabbed a few when they first came out. The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin (2014) DVD […]
