It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a movie in the theater (well, not that long – I did see For Your Consideration a month or two ago.) Netflix has taken the place of a night at the movies most of the time. All in all, I like movies a [...]

Last night Lapster and I went to see the Indigo Girls in concert here in Seattle, WA. To say that I am a fan would be an understatement. I love them. For almost 15 years, my sister and I have been seeing their concerts almost once a year. I think [...]
