Gretl’s indie film, which might morph into a pilot if all goes […]

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.

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.  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 […]

Charlotte has 20 grandchildren or great-grandchildren and is a cancer survivor. We talked about her […]
