Student Brings Typewriter to Class

We went to Indian Head to have an early Christmas with my folks this weekend and at one point my mom suggested renting a movie to keep Pace entertained.  It did not even cross my mind that she meant VHS movie instead of DVD (let alone streaming video or BitTorrent or some of the other […]

Castaway
