A Charlie Brown Christmas
A bit early for this one, but 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' created by Charles M Schlutz is another one of my favorite holiday specials, but no longer able to watch on network television. This is the one where Charlie is depressed due to the fact of all the commercialism of the holiday. He seeks out help and becomes part of a school play with all the gang. This is where they all learn the real meaning of Christmas. In all these years I still feel 'real in' watching this one even though it does seem somewhat dated, but still fun to watch.

Beyond Bribery
In the sprawling city of Ethicopia, where the shadows of corruption danced on the walls of corporate skyscrapers, there lived a man named Ethan Noble. Ethan, an ambitious executive, had ascended the corporate ladder at Breakstone Enterprises, a conglomerate with a reputation as shady as the alleyways it operated in. Little did Ethan know that his journey to the top would take an unexpected turn, guiding him from the murky waters of bribery to the luminous shores of ethical leadership.

The Exodus. Content Warning.
'The Exodus' another book written by a great man. This is the story of voyage in search of the perfect land. In it we learn about the sacrifices that our ancient ancestors had to give up and learn ideas in a different way. It is also a story of families.

The Book of Genesis. Content Warning.
'The Book of Genesis' written by a great person. This is the beginnings of all the world. It is the start of the plants and animals and then of humans. The descriptions that are given throughout the book are quite visual and even picturesque. This is the story of how we all became who we are and one day will be.

“Barbie”: The Politics of a Plastic World
The task of bringing Barbie to the big screen was hardly a simple one. The film went through various iterations and spent over a decade in development before it could make its way to cinemas. And while it isn't a film I was particularly looking forward to seeing myself, it's one I'm still glad that I got to see all the same.

Sabbath's Theatre.
"Sabbath's Theater" at the Romulus Linney Theater is a stream of consciousness play, John Turturro gives a masterclass for one hour and forty minutes. Without an intermission it is he who locks in the audience. The play which is written by Philip Roth is as raw, edgy as anything Kafka would write. The people who came to watch were artistic, even Bohemian. "Sabbath's Theater is a throw back to the days of La MAMA, Truck and Warehouse Theater. Directed by Jo Bonney, nothing is left to the imagination... it is sex and sex and sex.

Jim Messina and Pablo Cruz.
Jim Messina has been around music for a long time. His mellow, folksy music has dated back to Buffalo Springfield, Poco, and the duo of Loggins and Messina. His talents run from acoustic guitar, Mandolin, dobro, bass and vocals.

The Great Balloon Release Disaster of 1986: Lessons Learned from Cleveland's Helium Fiasco
In the chronicles of exposure stunts turned out badly, the disastrous arrival of 1.5 million helium-filled inflatables over the city of Cleveland on September 27, 1986, remains as an obvious sign of the unusual results that can go with even the most benevolent undertakings. What started as an endeavor to establish a worldwide best for the biggest inflatable delivery immediately transformed into a fiasco that had broad ramifications for the city and its inhabitants.
