From 2003 through 2008, I saw maybe 5 movies… and one of those was Starsky & Hutch. Dark days, my friends. But that’s what I get for doing my part to insure the survival of the human race. Of course, with every year that passes following the birth of children – you realize that some…

If you’re reading this, you’ve likely read my rambling preamble that I published the other day. If not, go back and read it. It’s one post below this one or better yet, you could just click here and add to my hit counts. I got kids to feed after all. Anyway, this post accomplished two…
