I had one of those days where you just look around and can't help but appreciate everything that is happening around you. I see so much to be grateful for and so much that should be so much more appreciated than it is. Have you ever lived in a world where you could attend a …
Date Night
Recipe for a decent date night? I got it right here for you. Cooking chicken burritos with someone special, a nice bottle of red wine (or whatever your prefered quencher of thirst might be), and a good movie. Tonight, for us, it is The Dark Knight Rises. I know it is not the best of …
Happy Friday!
I know I am not the only person that loves Fridays. The anticipation, the build-up, the relief, and the excitement that comes with the fantasy of yet another fun and adventure-filled weekend. What foods will you eat? What new lands will you explore? What stories will you have to tell come Monday morning? Perhaps it …
Ending of a Journey
I have a love/hate relationship with the completion of a book series. Especially one I am enjoying. The satisfaction of completion is quickly followed by the sad realization that the time to start a new journey has come and I don't always know where I am going or what may come next. Fortunately, that is …
Date Night!
There are a lot of great ways to spend a date night. Being original can keep things fun and interesting, but the classics will always have their place in a great, healthy, strong relationship. There is just something about dinner and a movie that almost always works. Like anything else, it won't go 100% right …
Tangled in Disney
"Frying pans! Who knew?" - Flynn Ryder (Tangled) I am team Tangled all the way. Sorry to everyone who believes the movie Frozen is better, but you are incorrect. I am not saying that Frozen was not enjoyable, but I cannot agree that it is the better film. What about you? Are you team Tangled, …
Teleportation
There are few better ways to teleport then through books and movies. Whether it is audio, hard copy, IMAX or iPhone, there is no better way of seeing new worlds, especially if money is an issue, than these. You do not need massive stacks of money or gold to go to your nearest thrift store …
Favorite Land
My wife asked me a fun question this morning that I will share with you. I will also share my answer and would love to hear your answer and reasoning. "What is your favorite land in Disneyland?" She thought it would be Galaxy's Edge because I am a Star Wars fan. Hard to blame her …
What would you choose?
If you could choose to forget any book or movie, and then re-read, re-watch, or re-listen to it again for the first time, what would you choose? Personally, I would have to go with re-listening to the audiobook Ready Player One, written by Ernest Cline, and read by Wil Wheaton. Ernest Cline is not my …
My Wish
Today, I was watching Mary Poppins and Mary Poppins Returns with my wife and I found myself thinking about things I never ever thought to think of. Things that I never considered because, growing up, these things sort of get taught out of you by the academic system or "societal norms" discourage them. I don't …
