Appaloosa

I know, impressive. I saw this movie this evening and I am already writing about it. It must be something weird in thI know, impressive. I saw this movie this evening and I am already writing about it. It must be something weird in the air, nearly Halloween, or just something else weird. So I debated between this movie, Appaloosa, and another movie, a French action thriller, titled, Tell No One. Appaloosa won out in the end because it was a western and it co-starred Vigo Mortensen. So off to see it I went, to an almost empty theatre, as I caught the very earliest show I could. I am thinking, in hindsight, that I must have caught the tail end in the run, but for the life of me I only really just recall having seen information about with in the last week or so.e air, nearly Halloween, or just something else weird.

Marriage Issue

Gay marriage and equal rights for those so aligned – not something that you have heard much of this election cycle, which is kind of surprising considering the hot button issue that it had been back the last two presidential elections. I have only heard mention of it in passing this cycle and really not from any of the candidates themselves. I guess I heard it mentioned on the radio in passing the other idea, specifically some folks saying that it was not such a big issue to them compared to other things this time around and of course the counter view by some who are pushing for it that it is a major issue.

Dame Busters

I admit I am using a play on words in the title. Many is the eve that I am spent in the two places. Ad to that the restaurant that is now in its 2nd or 3rd iteration that used to be a drug store across the corner and Irish Pub down the street named McCarthy’s and you pretty much have my social scene for a large part of my college years, some what during after college and especially after the divorce so many years ago. And to just show how things are cyclical in nature, where did I start hanging out again after things went crazy back in 2007? Gosh, that really seems like it was longer ago then that now.
