Where talk is cheap
You may have heard about that thing on the Internet known as Facebook. I signed up a couple of months ago, and have recently been known to be staring at my computer screen with bloodshot eyes long past midnight.

“All About Steve”: Wryly comical morality play
C’mon, you movie reviewers out there in LaLa Land! You know who you are. Yeah, you who wrote that “All About Steve” is the worst movie of the year and of the career of Sandra Bullock!

Kay's Cooking Corner
I was told there were a few people out there who really did like my article and my recipe last week! Of course, I’m not getting a big head or anything like that since I do understand that those people just happened to be my husband, my mom, my sister, my daughter…you get the picture.
The Critic's Corner
Henry has a serious problem with public nudity. But he can’t help appearing in front of complete strangers without any clothes on. It’s a part of who he is.
