ROAD TRIP

Today we head to Lincoln with our grandson Bentley. Tomorrow we plan to take Bentley & our granddaughters Brianna & Hadley to the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. Last summer Lois bought a grandparents pass which included free admission for grandkids, & now that pass will pay for itself. We feel really blessed that we (1) have such a great relationship with our grandkids; & (2) we can take them along on road trips like this.

HOLLYWOOD

Hollywood once gave us blockbuster epics, brilliant Westerns, great film noirs, and classic comedies. Now it endlessly turns out comic-book superhero films or pathetic remakes of prior classics. --Victor Davis Hanson, National Review Online 10/10

EXCOMMUNICATION

We all know people, whether we’re related to them or choose to associate with them, who support Democrats. It’s no big deal. It is grounds for excommunication on the left. --Derek Hunter, Townhall, 10/10
