It’s November 2016 and unlike prior November’s the colors don’t look like this where I am. It feels more like late Spring with temps in the 80’s. I am ready for a significant cool down.
Anyway, let’s have a great month!

Hello October 2016, Wow You Are Here!
I can’t believe it’s October. This year is flying by, which it seems to do this time of year. Before you know it we will be in full-blown holiday mode from the end of the month to the end of the year. Pretty amazing if you ask me. Let’s have a great month everyone.
#September 2016 Has Come, Can It Cool Down Now?
September 2016 has come and before too long the leaves will change color to a golden brown before falling off the trees sometime October or November. I am ready for the temperatures to get below 75 degrees because it’s too damn hot at the moment.
My Spoiler-Free Review of “Pete’s Dragon” (2016 Edition)
Pete’s Dragon is one of those classic Disney films that holds a special place in the hearts of many. It’s musical, heart-felt, loaded with old school animation. Most people my age remember seeing it in the theater and were happily entertained.
The new Pete’s Dragon doesn’t follow that blueprint. This is a reimagining. It deviates dramatically but tells the story of Elliot and his fire-breathing friend in a new way with soul, conflict and some social commentary. It has a great story set in what I think is the 1980’s, making it vintage much in the way the original did when it took us back to the early 1900’s.
Casting can make and break a movie and this film has superb talent such as Bryce Dallas Howard, Wes Bentley, Karl Urban and the legendary Robert Redford. But the main focus is on newcomers Oakes Fegley who plays Pete and Oona Laurence who won a Tony Award for Matilda.
It is a movie I can recommend without reservation. Just a reminder this is not your dad’s “Pete’s Dragon” so go into it with an open mind, you will be rewarded for it.

Summer Is Officially Here…
Today is the first official day of Summer in the northern hemisphere. For those of us in the southern USA there has been temperatures that have been Summer-like for the past couple of weeks and it gets real humid too. Enjoy the season of sunglasses, suntans, cool drinks and flip flops. Have fun good people when you can.
