I recall in general terms when I first saw an ad by an auto manufacturer that used a computer theme for selecting the vehicle. I thought at the time that the PC had come of age. A few years before I had been told by a computer dealer that he didn’t advertise on TV because…
Just last night I was watching video of Midsomer and wondering what the murder rate must be and how anyone could live there. It’s good to see someone else sees the problem! Somebody ought to do something! Soon!
I’m a sucker for light reading that involves cats and mystery, so how could I possibly not enjoy Carole Nelson Douglas’s Midnight Louie mysteries? This latest book finds Max Kinsella missing and Temple Barr getting engaged to Matt Devine, while the Fontana brothers are all kidnapped, and generally all hell is breaking loose all over….
This is another British (at least BBC, set in Ireland) show that I discovered recently and really enjoyed. It follows the adventures of a young priest from Manchester assigned to a parish in Ireland in the town of Ballykissangel. His supervisor is somewhat conservative and doesn’t always appreciate his approach to ministry, but the villagers…
Tlisli* struggled to wake up. It felt a little like when she had been a small child and had almost drowned in the river. She had wanted to breathe, but couldn’t. She had struggled toward the surface, but it never seemed be there. As she struggled, images passed through her mind. She was struggling through…

This is the second installment in the Tlisli Series, and is continued from Tlisli’s Escape.]…
I’ve already written about two of the stories that form a part of this book, and I’ve also linked to what I consider an excellent review, except that it gives a bit much of the story away for my taste. But I want to make a couple of additional comments because this book is really…
I’m almost afraid to write about how one can learn and teach from stories, because I think a piece of literature requires only one justification–that somebody wants to read it. Come to think of it, it may need only that someone enjoys writing it. I’m an extreme anti-snob in literature. I enjoy some very light…
[This is a work of fiction, and is part of my God-Talk club series. For more information follow the link.] Ellen McDonald set the extra large Coke on the table in front of Mark Morton and then sat down herself. “I hope you won’t get fired for sitting down here with us,” said Mark. “Oh,…
