9.0 44 Scotland Street, Espresso Tales

These two Alexander McCall Smith novels were originally written as a serialized newspaper column, just like Robert Louis Stephenson used to do. I’ve really enjoyed his light touch and wonderful character development – he floats effortlessly between dozens of characters, with lots of...
9.0 Human League – All I Ever Wanted

As a continuation of the 80′s nostalgia theme of Doug’s recent mix, I dug up this gem from a couple years ago. I have a few others that might make a nice response to Doug’s mix. Still, I have to say that one of the songs Doug chose, New Order’s Krafty, is the pinnacle. It...
9.5 North By Northwest

Cary Grant is the definition of style in this Hitchcock classic. He’s Mr. Average, until he’s ensnared in a complicated plot of espionage. But incompetent lawmen, incessant misfortune – even the outright sinister plotting of his enemies – merely annoy him, highlighting how...
9.0 Extract

9.0 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

The Deathly Hallows was a big hit with us, and Wren and Savannah perfected their butterbeer recipe and shared with us all to celebrate!...
10.0 TEDx Talks, Raleigh

If you don’t know what TED Talks are, they are 15-minute talks on Really Important and Inspiring Topics, meant to quickly educate and inspire you. They have been going on for quite a while. Bill Gates famously released mosquitos at one talk, and explained his plan for extracting energy from...
9.5 Death Cab For Cutie: Soul Meets Body

Andrea fell in love with Franz Ferdinand after seeing them on SNL – the fact that they’re Scottish didn’t hurt their chances any – and she got me hooked. We went to see them last night. They rock the house, capital L-O-U-D. Totally contagious energy. The drummer and bass...
8.5 Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

Despite the fact that their first exposure was to the unholy and tortuous “Star Wars Holiday Special”, which circus ringleader Lucas himself says he would like to personally destroy down to the last copy “with a sledgehammer”, the girls have managed to get hooked on the...

This is her first day of public school ever, and the end of homeschooling. She got up at 6:45am and was gone on the bus before we knew it. Time flies, in all kinds of ways! Have fun Wrenny! :-)

Go Wrenny! :P
