I’m going to make this easy–Go see this movie. It’s fun and action-packed and gets back to what Marvel does best. What we knew going in: This movie was to take place “before” Infinity War.  Scott Lang was under house arrest after the events in […]

Today: This is hard. Really hard. I’ve been hanging on to this post for a week. I’m frankly scared to post this because, while I’m not exactly a people pleaser (you can’t please everyone all of the time, nor should you try to), I do […]

Throw Back Thursday is a bit different this week. I thought this had been scheduled to post in the fall….and it didn’t. So here it is today. Enjoy. *********** November 16, 2017 We haven’t moved yet. It was nearly Halloween before the relocation company got […]
