Short Summary – BCS S4 E1
Short Summary is an original series in which I write brief reviews of movies, TV shows, video games, books, and more. Spoilers ABOUND! "Smoke" Ahh, I'm back, reviewing the latest season of another TV show I love: Better Call Saul. I just caught up with BoJack Horseman, and I'm still catching up on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, both of which I'll write …
8 Airports
Let me tell you the tale of how my husband went through 8 airports in 4 days, and I in 5. It all began last Friday when we took off from our home base, the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. MHT is a small and simple place, with maybe a dozen gates making up a single terminal. …
My Favorite Movie
I love a lot of movies... so many of them, probably too many. I love everything about movies. I pride myself on quoting classic lines from and identifying actors and actresses in numerous movies, even though both are tidbits of arguably useless information that I'm wasting precious space saving in my brain. I have full scenes …
My Favorite Song
I used to hate the idea of choosing a favorite. Besides my favorite color (green), I used to think that picking favorites of anything else was impossible. There was just way too much to choose from, I thought, and I didn't have the guts to narrow it down and choose only one when there were …

Our 52 Weeks of Adventure, Part 2
It's Week 26 of 2018, folks! Kevin and I have now done 19 weeks of Outdoor Project's 52 Weeks of Adventure in total. While we're now at the halfway point of the year, we're just under halfway done with the challenge, which isn't bad at all. We've made up a lot of ground; we doubled …
Short Summary – Solo: A Star Wars Story
Short Summary is an original series in which I write brief reviews of movies, TV shows, video games, books, and more. Spoiler alert, just in case! Oh, Solo... Poor Solo. There were countless articles about a production plagued with problems. There was doubt regarding the casting of Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo. The marketing for …
The Struggle with Suicide
I want to preface this post by saying that I myself have never contemplated suicide. I haven't recently thought and I'm not currently thinking about killing myself. So I can't begin to comprehend what it must be like to experience the darkness and feelings that others have. I can only write about what I've seen, …
