I like to do Pulse Pause posts about once a month or so, and there’s usually no shortage of knee-weakening material around. I’ve always got some sort of hero of the hour I’m currently drooling over, that I can talk about, post pictures about, and write scads about how he (they) have this ability to […]

Happy Hump Day! From one perspective, May has been a long, hard month. On the other hand, I’m kinda reluctant to let it go, because I have to let go of my favourite series at the same time, and move on to something else. I’ve written at length about my withdrawals symptoms over Kiss Across

Mark Posey is my special guest blogger today. If you’re new to the blog and Mark’s last name strikes you as a coincidence, you’re not wrong. Mark is the guy that I have been referring to endlessly in my posts for the last six years that I have been blogging. Mark has recently hung up

When Mt. St. Helens blew its top thirty-three years ago today, the explosion was so powerful, it was 1,600 times greater than the Hiroshima bomb. Despite weeks of warning earthquakes and the extraordinary work of geologists who had kept the public away from the volcano despite tourism pressure, fifty-seven people died in the resulting explosions,

The first Academy Awards were held at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, eighty-four years ago today, in 1929. Compared to the razzmatazz and glitz that the Oscars draw these days, the first Academy Awards ceremony was a very low key affair, as you can tell from the photo. Tickets cost five dollars, 270 people attended the
