Usually my “Throwback Thursday” posts go at least a few years back. But this one has me thinking of the past three months – from our last dine-in meal at the Houston Pizza near our house on Friday March 13 after we picked up the kids from what would be their last day of school […]

Friday Fun Link – King of Staten Island Trailer

Everything’s changing due to Covid and Hollywood is no different. This is a movie that would’ve had a fairly traditional release – film festival then widely in theatres then to video-on-demand – but it is now being released today directly to various video streaming services where you can “rent” it for $20 USD (more expensive […]
