Over the 4th of July holiday, my family decided to try someplace new. We had never been to a new restaurant on 5600 West called Lanta’s Frozone, and we thought we would give it a try. It was very quiet, but then we were on our way back from a …
Ancient history has always been a passion of mine, and when a book of Celtic mythology, the journey to the Otherworld, is written, I was peaked. It was not what I had expected, not by a long shot. A story that seemed to me to be a strange look at …
There are a number of books out there about Autism, dealing with autism, managing autism, teaching children with autism, and even how to "cure" autism with fad diets and various misinformation. It’s rare, at least in my experience, for autism to center within fiction. House Rules is a book about …
I’m in need of a rebuke. All this time in my life, and I have never read a book by Sir Walter Scott. Well, recently I changed that, and read Guy Mannering. Clearly, I have been neglecting my studies, my heritage, and my opportunity to be edified by the prose …
