Holiday History

I have a few holiday traditions that I keep up with every year. Many of those include Christmas movies or TV specials. Watching those certainly help get me in the spirit.

Grief

I know quite a few people struggling with grief right now.  I can't say that I know for sure that Jim Carrey said this, but it is too good not to share: Jim Carrey once said: Grief is not just an emotion—it’s an unraveling, a space where something once lived but is now gone.

Getting Rid of the Cable Guy?

I didn't watch the Super Bowl this year. I didn't even look online for a link to all the Super Bowl ads. I had read that Jim Carrey was going to reprise his role as The Cable Guy for a Verizon ad, and only recently watched it.

Favorite Films – The 2000’s

It's been a couple of weeks since I picked back up on this series of blogs, so I thought I had better.  A while ago, I saw a post that suggested you pick one favorite film from every year of your life.  So far, I have covered 3 decades.  Some years were easier than others.  … Continue reading Favorite Films – The 2000’s →
