I'm just thinking out loud here- Wouldn't technology created in the 1960s, no matter how advanced at the time and no matter its accomplishments, be completely obsolete today anyway? I'm certain we will, at some point, begin manned space flights again (I understand such a flight to Mars is in the...

I didn't like the major focus on his relationship with Audrey. I know the creators felt that this relationship formed the spark for his music, but I thought it would have been interesting to go in a different direction than the same "he was married to a money-grubbing hag of a woman who made...

I cary small reporter needs in a Swiss Army gas mask bag for quick runs, or if I need to take a laptop, I have an older LL Bean field bag in waxed cotton and leather. LL Bean has an amazing bunch of leather bags right now.

The local multiplex theatre closed its doors a couple of years ago (it's now a Marshall's- great improvement), leading to the restoration of the 30's movie palace downtown. It also considerably increased business at the nearest multiplex 25 miles away.
THAT place, a Regal Cinema, has changed out...
