Fifty Shades of Sesame Street
In a recent Ernie and Bert sketch on everyone’s favorite educational kid’s show Sesame Street, there is an obvious allusion to the Shades of Grey book. Bert is sitting on a park bench and reading a book that clearly shows the title “Fifty Shades of Oatmeal”. He addresses the camera and then reads the book. He says,Continue reading “Fifty Shades of Sesame Street”
Once Upon A Time
Honestly, I don’t watch much TV because of a lack of time, and because there is almost always something better I can be doing. And, my kids don’t watch much TV because we encourage reading over screen watching as much as possible. But, if you’ve read my blog at all you will know that I’mContinue reading “Once Upon A Time”

Behnam Brothers and HGTV
The following story has been all over the news lately. The article below comes from pluggedin.com. I had never heard of the Benham brothers before this story broke, but I must say I’m saddened for the way they were attacked, however I salute them for handling it with maturity and grace. “The first and last thoughtContinue reading “Behnam Brothers and HGTV”

As the 2nd Captain America solo film, Captain America: The Winter Soldier prepares to launch this weekend, I thought it would be fun to see how this most patriotic of Marvel heroes has progressed throughout the years in film.
