Book Review: Turning the Tables

December 15, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Merda Pura Turning the Tables, Teresa Giudice The pandemic has been wild. We've all done things we never thought we'd do... going a week without a shower, eating ice cream for breakfast, learning what Minecraft actually is... and reading a prison memoir from a "Real Housewife of New Jersey." Or her ghostwriter. … [Read more...]

The Devil’s Mercy (2007)

December 3, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

The Devil Made Me Watch It The Devil's Mercy, 2007 You may (rightly) ask yourselves if I hate myself. Why else, you wonder, do I keep suffering through these abysmal Connecticut movies?

Aussakita Acres Farm

November 30, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Happier Than a Pig... Aussakita Acres Farm, Manchester October 2020 The town of Manchester continues to fascinate me. I lived there for several years in the 1990's and while I thought it was fine, if you'd told me that 20 years later I'd find so much to do there I'd have called you crazy. From trails to museums, … [Read more...]

"Completing" Harwinton... Again Harwinton Land Trust: Indian Meadow November 2020 Ah, Indian Meadow. Back in 2018 when I "completed" Harwinton, this property was my bugaboo.
