After my family grew out of the highchair years my dad constructed a counter-height bar that jutted out of our kitchen into our TV room. From then on, that was the dinner table at which all family meals were shared. And we children, even into our highschool years, rarely if ever missed a meal in … Continue reading
Considering that this is a movie-based website, I figured I’d give back to the CHUD community a little bit and actually write about movies. But I’m going to write about MY movies. I own exactly seventy-five. The criteria for my collection is this: if I won’t rewatch it, I will sell it and get rid … Continue reading
