Honestly, I expected a sequel to My Little Pony Equestria Girls, and we got it, in My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks. What I didn’t expect was how far this offshoot of “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic” would go. Now we have My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games, the third and…
Netflix has a new talk show available, the Mr. Peabody & Sherman Show. In it the time travelling duo host a chat show but instead of helping Sherman with his homework, now the historical figures are guests on their talk show. Sort of a follow-up to the recent film, Dreamworks Animation presents this series where…
Things just sort of gt out of hand last week and I wound up not getting around to posting my usual Friday pictures last week. There are quite a few to jump into. A couple of weekends ago there was another cross country meet. This featured, once again, the whole of the school. And some…
Want to know my secret to making dinner and having the kids eat it? Social media is full of parents expressing their frustration at cooking dinner only to have their children not eat. And I understand this dilemma. It can be difficult to schedule a time to get the whole family together to sit…

I had this scheduled to go up yesterday, but messed up the calendar and wound up scheduling it for *next* Monday. I just discovered that mistake. Oh well. There has been enough written about Fleetwood Mac and the album Rumours that it almost feels cliche to write anything else about it. However….
Originally an iPad game, one might worry about the transition to a computer, but Gunpowder apparently does so with ease. A sort of physics-based puzzle game players draw lines with the mouse to interact with object to clear each level. Those lines are, as you might surmise, gunpowder. Using an “old west” setting the story…
This weekend I will begin a Dungeons & Dragons campaign with my 12 year old son and a few of his friends. This will be the first time running a campaign in a long time as well as their first time playing (mostly). Throw in the new 5th edition D&D ruleset, and you might be able…
Easily one of the most famous of Walt Disney’s animated classics, 1950’s Cinderella remains eminently watchable today. The story itself is almost as old as time, so in a way it is hard to both mess it up as well as retell it in a way that makes it stand out. Disney (sans Walt) attempts…
