We were supposed to get some quick holiday photos last week. The day before our appointment, the kids were still under the weather.

Too Many Streams
Money hungry. That's what they are. Money hungry. I remember a time when we had Netflix and Hulu and that gave us pretty much every thing we needed to watch movies and TV shows. That's not the case today. So many "parent companies" are pulling stuff off Netflix to add to their own streaming platform … Continue reading Too Many Streams
