That was about eight years ago. “You’re not my favorite band!,” I said. “The Rolling Stones, the White Stripes and any band with Ray Wylie Hubbard or Delbert McClinton or Levon Helm in it were my favorites at that time. Even if they aren’t “your Read More

When traveling with someone, we tend to speak our own language. We share experiences and observations with our companion. We are tourists. Read More

‘Star Trek: Into Darkness’ a Great Summer Adventure
Movie Review by KIRSTEN LASKEY
Some movies just fit the bill for the perfect summer blockbuster.
They are as refreshing as a soda on a hot day, as thrilling as an approaching three-month break from school and as fun as that first jump into the pool. “Star Trek: Into Darkness” fits solidly into this description.
This movie jets you, at warp speed, on a wonderful tour of the galaxy. You get to travel to planets that are lush in scarlet forests or observe Earth’s future sleek and glossy cities. Even the bowels of the starship Enterprise are beautiful. Everything is a visual delight.
The cast of characters Read More
