My Friend Magnum
A few months ago, Maria and I discovered something wonderful on our cable lineup. One of our local stations had added something called RTN to one of the new digital channels. RTN stands for Retro Television Network, which is a…
Happy TV Season
The other day, Bridget finished reading the first book in the Little House series. I think we gave it to her for her birthday. We were in the car when she finished so I started asking her questions. I wanted…
