Future Poltergeist: July 2015
http://futurepoltergeist.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Daily bits of my life. Friday pictures. And a neverending series of reading projects. Sunday, July 05, 2015. I almost always enjoy my visits to historical fiction but I don't go there often enough. This list from Hugh Hewitt. Looks like a very good one. He emphasizes a kind of reverse chronology approach, which probably compels the reader to keep asking 'what caused that? He also emphasizes series by authors who really know what they're doing. Looks like good stuff. Links to this post.

Daily bits of my life. Friday pictures. And a neverending series of reading projects. Friday, June 27, 2014. It seems like forever since AFI was doing their '100 Movies' specials. Which is a shame. Seems that it's been too long for someone else too. A new list has emerged. Is it wrong to already declare this the No. 1 movie list of all time? The actual list is here. 87 LOTR: Return of the King. 82 LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring. 57 The Dark Knight. 56 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I know some peop...

It will happen on August 21st, 2017, just a couple of days before Relia turns ten. I told her we would go to see it and I intend to keep that promise. Some enterprising folks have mapped out the path of the eclipse here. Who's up for a little road trip? Links to this post. Friday, August 22, 2014. I'm fine with both the...

That I'd found a chart of Olympics profits for the past forty years. The chart is here. The usual caveats about Wikipedia apply but it seems to be in good order.
