Another Meeting About The Next Beatles

College was no different than high school. In the set-off corners of the classrooms, students would discuss what seemed most important.

In Nothing We Trust

Congress and the Senate today vowed to do everything in their power to do absolutely nothing about the mass shootings today. Which shooting you ask? I don’t know, pick one, there are far too many to keep track of. The Speaker of the house, Paul Ryan, in an interview today said “We don’t wa

Greens-stuffed Meatloaf

A meatloaf in my Top 100 Meals? Yes — meatloaf. And, yes, greens-stuffed. First, let’s look at what we have so far. Number 100 in the Top 100 Meals was leftover Shrimp & Eggplant Casserole, and number 99 was the Southern-Style (Chicago) Hot Dog. Yum. Can a measly meatloaf rise to such height

The Gambler’s Apprentice

What a shame that the era of the Western movie headed long ago for the last roundup. The Gambler’s Apprentice, a novel by H. Lee Barnes, is perfect for adaptation to that great American genre – and, given the chance, just might revive it. It’s that good. You listening, Hollywood? Long st
