I am not a big Star Wars fan. The only movie in the series I really liked was Rogue One and it is stand-alone. However, I went into this latest Star Wars viewing experience with an open mind. A hopeful mind. This year has been rather ho-hum when […]
Tis the season to be jolly. Yes, indeed it is. I live this time of the year. I now have Alexa playing Christmas songs non-stop. Actually, she’s playing a lot of ’80s music as well as nostalgia has taken a hold of me. In that vein, I needed […]
This year of 2019 has been an interesting one. Many historical moments. Many head-scratching moments. Many moments when reality was way wackier and perplexing than any television show out there. If time travel is somehow possible, I do hope someone travels back to our current time and hands […]
Here’s a warning- do not hold the wrong end of a chainsaw. As far as warnings go, that’s a pretty good one in that it is needed. I suppose someone may indeed not know what is the end of the chainsaw that actually saws and cuts. If I […]

As a New Yorker who grew up in the South Bronx near Yankee stadium, I love baseball. As a Latina, I love baseball. As a fan of comeback stories, I love baseball. As a die-hard New Yorker, I would have loved it if either the Yankees or the […]
This may be blasphemy for some. But here it goes. I like Star Wars, but don’t love it. I’ve only ever seen four films in the movie series, in the theatres. Those being Episode I: the phantom menace (which was horrible); Episode VII: The Force Awakens (which wasn’t […]
