    What Was The Last Radio Program You Heard?

    Please keep us posted on the availability of the download! As for listening rather than performing, commute time has been a mixture of Christmas songs and The Plot to Overthrow Christmas; parts are of sort of muddy, but Corwin's writing shines through.

    What Are You Reading

    Finished Merry Christmas, Mr. Baxter and we will start A Christmas Carol tonight. My copy is a 1966 reprint of a 1940 edition which includes the punctuation and spelling of Dickens' original.

    Last night, Dewar's scotch, impulse purchase while shopping at Costco.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Oooops, that's what I get for posting without proof-reading. It's not a bourbon, but a "Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey."

    What Are You Reading

    Peter Spier's Christmas! (1983) one of my must-reads to kick off the Christmas season. A picture book with no dialogue or even captions, it captures Christmas in its day-to-day run-up, enjoyment, and return to everyday life. Spier has a deceptively sketchy style, but the amount of detail is...

    George Dickel bourbon, sipped well reading. (This seems to be a pattern with me...)

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Mac and Me, and Atlantic Rim, both as demolished by the Netflix Reboot of MST3K. Youngest Shellhammer and I bond over such goofiness.

    What are you listening to?

    During the commute, my iTunes playlist with a couple hundred Christmas songs, from Elvis to Bing and all points in between. At home, the same playlist with a lot more songs, played on a beat up old tablet while enjoying the decorations.

    What Are You Reading

    We have started our annual Christmas reading routine, beginning with Merry Christmas, Mr. Baxter (1956) by Edward Streeter, who also gave us Father of the Bride. It's not a long book, so we keep our readings somewhat short.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Did I mention we've started our traditional Christmas movie viewings? Started with Miracle on 34th Street, then Elf, then Elf again as my daughter wants to expand our viewing to include the grandkids. They did okay with Elf; they might do okay with A Christmas Story, but I'm not so sure about...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    FF, What Price Hollywood? stands apart as a Tinseltown-looks-at-itself film. Snappy banter, sets designed to impress the patrons who plunked down two bits for a breather from reality, and some harsh people and some harsh life situations make this one of my all-time classics. Yes, the production...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Christopher Robin (2018) Entertaining mixture of the original canon of Pooh stories and the Disney animated versions. Missus really liked it, and I enjoyed it, but did not feel connected to the degree I wanted to. The animation of the stuffed animals and Owl and Rabbit was excellent, and the...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    My wife commented while watching a 1940s movie taking place at a baseball game how the people dressed more classily than they do now, even for going to a sporting event. The mindset for how you presented yourself in public was remarkably different from the torn-jeans, sweat pants, t-shirts, and...

    Unbroken, based on our reading of the book.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Same here, the Lancer paperbacks of Conan with the Frazetta covers were also my entry into a grimmer, rougher-edged world beyond Barsoom, Pellucidar, Atlantis, and all the rest.

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    You are not alone: as a young fan of Howard's Cimmerian barbarian, I eagerly awaited the debut of Marvel's take on Conan. It was enjoyable as another medium for the stories, but I never became a fan. For my tastes back then, I preferred John Severin's version of King Kull.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Paths of Glory (1957) with Kirk Douglas, Adolphe Menjou, George Macready, and many more. An appropriate film seeing as how the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice was 11/11/2018. Every time I watch it I'm still overwhelmed by all the emotions it evokes.

    What Are You Reading

    A Long Way from Chicago by Richard Peck. It's young adult fiction, but it's so well-written we enjoyed it as grown-ups. Subtitled A Novel in Chapters, it's several loosely connected stories about a brother and sister from Chicago who spend part of their summer vacation with quirky Grandma in...
