When the Threat of Violence Rears Its Ugly Head
Perhaps I have become too complacent. We live in a fairly safe area. It’s normally fine to walk the streets either during the day or at night; there are rarely questionable characters lurking about. Walking is important to me. I … Continue reading
Book Review: Life Itself: A Memoir by Roger Ebert
As I mentioned in my recent essay on movies, Roger Ebert is the only film critic whose opinions I seek out about films I am interested in, at least those films made before 2013, when he died. Although I don’t … Continue reading

Life and Death
