Commentary
Hi everyone!
And a happy weekend to you.
I just turned in a first draft of a secret project (kept secret because it is highly unlikely that anything will ever come of it, and I don’t want to confuse anyone or open myself up to endless questions about it.)
But…short version…this means I’m taking it easy this weekend. And for me “taking it easy” = “watching lots of movies”.
One of my favorite things about movies? The special commentaries! I just love listening to how the filmmakers…ya know…made the...

Happy Memorial Day!
Hi everybody!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend to those of you who live in the U.S. For my family, it also marks the end of the school year (something about which my nieces are super excited).
Memorial Day has always been one of my favorite holidays. Not because it is about going to the lake or the pool or having barbecues. I was raised to believe that Memorial Day is for…remembering.
We always went to the cemetery as a family to decorate the graves of veterans and our family members. We always have b...
