Liz Cheney Speaks Out & Further Editorial Remarks on 1/16

From Bret Stephens of the New York Times on 1/16/2021: “If Conservatives want to have a moral leg to stand on as they condemn  a siege of a federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon, or a police station in Minneapolis, they have an obligation to impeach Trump now. The institutional case is clear: The president attacked […]

Traveling Down to Texas: Day Two

Day Two of the Trip to Texas is upon us. I stayed up until 2:30 a.m. posting the previous post. That gave me time to watch all of the Sunday morning news shows that I had taped, which I had not had a chance to watch before our departure for Chicago. Being in Chicago at […]

“Stormchaser” Is Well-done Short Film by Gretl Claggett

Filmmaker Gretl Claggett both wrote and directed a short film/narrative pilot called “Stormchaser.” I’m not sure which Midwestern state is portrayed in this 27 minute film, but the license plate said Missouri, so I’ll take a wild guess that it was, indeed, Missouri. Gretl’s indie film, which might morph into a pilot if all goes […]

Film Festival Favorite Theme: Losing One’s Mind in “Little Fish”

Every year, attending film festivals in Chicago, Texas, Colorado and elsewhere, there is often a pattern that emerges for that year’s films. Sometimes, it’s a similarity of titles. Sometimes, it’s a similarity of theme. In 1984 there was “The River” and “Places in the Heart,” two movies about families losing the family farm. One starred […]

SPIKE “At the Mike” O’DELL TO GUEST on 6/11

We recently drove from Austin, Texas, to the Quad Cities, through Oklahoma, Missouri, and Chicago. The entire landscape seemed dystopian and surreal. Nothing was open except large food chains like Wendy’s, Taco Belle, and McDonald’s, which had lines snaking through the drive-throughs, but signs on the doors saying, “No dining inside. Curb pick-up only.” Rest […]

I had my teeth cleaned on February 19th.

I had my teeth cleaned on February 19th.  They took more X-rays of my mouth than I have ever had taken. That took almost an hour. I had asked if I couldn’t have my X-rays from my dentist in the Quad Cities sent and avoid having to have MORE X-rays. They agreed, but, when the […]
