Random Photo - DART Train

 

Dallas Stars

 Not really a random photo, but I just loved how happy we look. With my friend and housemate Kristina. 

Random Photos - Knives

 Another random photo. Knives I gave away (we didn’t like the scalloped edges).

Random Photo - Train Tracks

 I’ll be posting random photos I’ve taken. This one was an accidental photo taken with my phone on November 20, 2023 at the Downtown Garland Train Station. 

Sunroom and Chimney Update

 I’m still waiting for my insurance to stop d¡cking me around, but I decided to go ahead and get the work done. The crew started yesterday, and finished up about 2 hours ago. I’m very pleased, and highly recommended North Texas Living Solutions for all your home improvement needs. Check out there Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/bestcontractorever) and tell them I sent you!

My First Podcast - Insurance Woes

 I'm stepping out of my comfort zone and trying something new. Not entirely sure if I'll make this a regular thing, but I have to admit, I have enjoyed the process.

How many of you have encountered big-time customer service issues when dealing with a homeowner's insurance claim? Listen in as I tell you my tale.

Before you attempt to adjust your screens - yes, the screen is a beautiful AI rendition of outerspace. I thought I'd give y'all something pretty to look at while listening to my ramblings. Also, I'm not thrilled with the size restriction for videos here; I had to create a low quality video in order for it to upload. Might have to find another place to upload my podcasts.

Film review - THE FINALE

 So, I have so many thoughts … and all of them good! But first off, a disclaimer. I know a few of the people involved in this film, including the director and co-star, Christie Vela. After all, this project was entirely filmed in the Dallas area. It makes me very happy and proud to see so many of my fellow theatre community involved. 

The script lovingly pokes fun at the horror genre, procedural crime television shows, and musical theatre. Caught a cheeky nod to “Twin Peaks” and guffawed out loud! Outstanding performances by Christie Vela, Lydia McKay, and Aspen Taylor (in a small by perfectly executed role as a hotel manager). And loved seeing my friend Paul Taylor as a much put upon actor trying to make his way back into the limelight. 

No spoilers … but, okay the plot twist got me. Never saw it coming. Kudos to Michael Federico for a nicely constructed story. 

THE FINALE is currently streaming on YouTubeTV and AppleTV, and should be available on Prime Video soon. Rent or purchase and support locally produced films, my fellow North Texans!
