Starring Carrie-Ann Moss as Trinity
Until The Matrix, I had never heard of Carrie-Ann Moss. My first stop in learning more about her was my favorite movie database, IMDb, where I found out she is expecting her first child. It is hard to picture the hard-nosed, gun-toting, tough as nails Trinity as a mother, but who would be better...

Starring Keanu Reeves as Neo
I have always thought of Keanu Reeves as a kid. I suppose it comes from first seeing him in Ted & Bill’s Excellent Adventure (1989) where he plays an intelligence challenged teenager whose favorite phrase is “Whoa” and dresses like a clean but homeless air guitar player. Was I surprised to find out...

Carty Takes a 33% Pay Cut
During these days of lay offs, bankruptcy and calls for cut backs, it is nice to see some of top management making sacrifices before asking the little guy to suffer. Yesterday, during a meeting with more than 300 employees in Kansas City, American Airlines CEO Don Carty vowed to take a 33% pay cut,...

Roster and Scorecard
I keep reading about having all these protectors out there who will beat down anyone who speaks out against one of their own, apparently I am one of their own. If that is the case, I need a roster because I am not sure whose team I am supposedly on--or anyone else for that matter. Is there more than...

The Warden
I wrote this a couple of years ago. I am pleased to report, the problem is better, but I am sure there are other parents going through the same thing. ******* There are days when I lose my title as mother and gain the title of warden. My residence is not longer a home but a work farm filled with...

Cloning with a Purpose
There has been a lot of controversy over cloning. Everything from the ethical aspects to rights issues. But my first problem with cloning has always been what they have chosen to clone.
