There’s a Mouse in the House
I was woken up last night by a strange sound. It sounded as though metal was being scrunched, like someone was twisting an empty pop can. I listened very carefully for a few moments. The sound stopped. I lay still on my bed and looked at the clock. It was 2:30 a.m. The noise started…

I’ve wanted my own sonic screwdriver for some time now. When I saw this kit in the comic book store, it really called out to me. I could get three sonic screwdrivers for the price of one? And I can mix and match them to get a completely customizable unit with a functioning light and…

Shriner’s Woodlot / Mount Carmel Running Tour

Batman 3 Didn’t Do It For Me
The latest Batman film really let me down. There were some really beautiful scenes and I appreciated a few of the special effects, but overall I wasn’t impressed with The Dark Knight Rises. My first criticism is Bane. He is the villain of the film and quite frankly, he was portrayed so much better in…
