  • Life, Liberty, and an Appreciation of Both0

    As we close out October, there are so many issues that seem to bring negativity to our American Spirit.

  • Legging Trends0

    Leggings in one form or another have been around since the 18th century. Originally worn by men, usually made of cloth or leather, leggings or leg wrappings were seen as a functional garment for soldiers and trappers.

  • Conundrum0

    Although it is not a word most folks use in everyday conversation, conundrum was a word often used by a colleague during my pre-retirement working days. Meaning “puzzle, mystery, challenge,” it sounded a bit like a sophisticated way to express ‘there’s trouble ahead.’ Somewhere along life’s path of journalistic learning, I was told the number

  • “Blood! Blood!” A Long Look at Psycho’s Shower Scene0

    In 2018, an unheralded little documentary came out with this oddball title: 78/52. Dedicated solely to the shower scene in Hitchcock’s Psycho, that film took its title from the number of camera set-ups and shots contained in that now-legendary sequence. It’s safe to say that no one else ever has made — or ever will
