Films to Inspire You to Travel ( @travelwithpedro)

NYT 2015 Obituaries
Live in Austin, Texas and our primary local newspaper is the Austin American-Statesman. Occasionally however, my son brings home a copy of the Sunday #NewYorkTimes . In this particular edition (Oct 2015), two notable persons dominated the #obituaries . &d
No Viper Time for Me
Yeahhhh, “Viper Time” (or #ViperTime) is a hashtag I use on social media whenever Randy Orton is out wrestling or cutting a promo (interview). I use it because his nickname is “The Viper.” Welp, it’s safe to say that I won&rsq
Review: Murdoch Mysteries
Binge watching a television series that revolves around the crime solving adventures of a Canadian-type #SherlockHolmes , “Detective William Murdoch of the Toronto Constabulary”. Love it when he says that! It's how he introduces himself to othe
The Quintessential Scotsman
Follow up to my #FOPP post Sean Connery Quit Acting? Rummaging through videos on YouTube and found this tribute to Mr. Connery. He received the AFI (American Film Institute) Life Achievement Award a few years back. Not a program watched very often like th
Start your day off by learning these five random things that are happening in the world.

Review: BBC Comedy - Doc Martin
Satisfying my BBC addiction by watching all the seasons of “Doc Martin” available on #Netflix . It's a "medical dramedy series" * (a delightful comedy with drama mixed in about a medical professional). It's all about the adventures of a G

I Don't Know Much But ...
There are so many male tenors in the entertainment industry and no doubt if one is mentioned by name, somebody will readily respond with an alternative or comparable singer and say – Yeah, he's alright but I just love _________. Nevertheless I
Austin, Texas - The Wild Wild West?
Back in the day there was a popular TV show called “Wild Wild West” about American government secret agents in the west. One agent was Artemis who was a master of disguise; a handy skill to have when you need to sneak into places. The other age
Age Happens (If We Live)
“What is life but a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.” True that life is brief but sometimes the years seem to drag. Wouldn't mind so much if youth and the joys of being young could last a little longer. Sure the
Movies That Suck With Sequels
Question. Why is that the movies that you can most assuredly live the rest of your life without ever watching, have sequels?? Makes me wonder. How bad does a movie have to be before people realize it sucks?? What is that about? Do they have to go lik
Angels or Aliens? Part 2 of 2
One of the joys of publishing at this site is that my readers don't mind if my expressions of thoughts come out on paper the way they usually are in my brain --- scattered ... but make sense to me! :) Following up with my previous #FOPP post - Angels or A
Go Your Own Way

Top 100 List – 2015 Netflix Releases

Famous Texans : Tommy Lee Jones
Tommy Lee Jones is a famous Texan. It is said that he has Native American heritage. Cherokee. That's cool! Supposedly my heritage also includes Cherokee mixed in the background, somewhere on my mother's side. That makes us kin! Some may k
Quick Note About The WWE Raw Presale

I’m Going To See Poltergeist Tomorrow

Do Not Boldly Go There!
It's strange. You would think a website that calls itself “Answers” is the first place one might look if they have questions. However, it's not the first resource on my list. Started looking for something and was totally distracted because the
My Weekend Agenda

What's on the Telly?
The “telly”? That's what the #British call television. Right? In America it's television, TV, or some old folks used to call it the “boob tube”. Why are old people so resistant to technological advance? No sooner than #television wa

The Exorcist
Just read a short post by &VinceSummers. The Black Scorpion (1957) So let's stay on this train of thought. #Horror #movies are definitely not for me! Are you kidding? The #werewolf and #Frankenstein used to scare me. Spooky sci-fi TV shows l
Movie: Strange Days
“Strange Days” is not a recent movie. It was released 1995. Nevertheless if you are a fan of either Angela Bassett or Ralph Fiennes or both, this film might interest you. PLOT? Some sort of #technology was invented that gets into a perso

The Color Blue
So red is my favorite color. But when you're nobody … nobody cares what colors you like (except close #family and #friends ). Blue is Jay-Z's favorite color which is important because … he's Jay-Z or Jay Z!! (Used to have a dash, now hi

Watching Wrestlemania 31 Tomorrow!

Question to Married Men – What's Your Fantasy?
Inspiration comes from strange places. Can't vouch for its historical accuracy as my knowledge of the history of Russia is extremely limited, however, based on a movie about Katherine the Great * – evidently she needed to attract her husband enough t
Celebrities Who Did Not Age Gracefully
Just saw an ad about celebrities who were knock down drop dead gorgeous when they were young. But who are clearly not so hot now! That is so awful to show these people in this manner. ( #myopinion ) It's not like we don't all get old and unattract
Watching WWE Fast Lane Tonight

I Miss Randy Orton

How Many Kings of France Were Named Louis?
Do you enjoy British comedy TV shows? My spouse introduced me to BBC programs back in the 70s. Fawlty Towers was one of my favorites. Fortunately for me, many of these shows are available through Netflix.com streaming. My sons are subscribers. Unf
A Good Marriage by Stephen King
Apparently this story was published in Stephen King's collection "Full Dark, No Stars," which I did read but for some reason I have no recollection of this story. I honestly didn't enjoy any of the stories in that collection, I remember them being just too
Diary – Saturday 31st January 2015

This Movie Annoyed Me At First
So, I saw this movie, not that I was intending to watch it or anything. It was more of just flipping through the channels and coming across it. Anyway, the story’s pretty cliché. Girl falls in love with boy. They end up together. They break up
I Ordered My WWE Payback Tickets
I almost forgot to mention on here, I did order my tickets for WWE Payback. They went on sale yesterday at noon. My Mother and one of my nieces decided not to go. They're not up to dealing with the crowd and noise this time around. I am going to be attendi

Preparing for Old Age...
When we are raising kids then we are so busy that everything that we do is around the present and future needs of the children. Their clothes, education, #sports , music classes, coaching classes, career, #entertainment etc. In this whole game,
Arnold Schwarzenegger from The Terminator...
This is one of the many #entertainment movies that #James-Cameron would hit gold with, and not without good reason. This trilogy is just gold. Arnold is a robot from the future, created by Skynet, for one purpose, and that is to go back in time and kill t
Are These the Last Days?
On those occasions when I find myself in front a #news program or a commentator's show, I often think of the words of Scripture, below. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were befor
