    Chateau Bradbury Estate from “The Craft”

    ‘ I am devastated that the month of October is almost over!  It seemed to come and go so fast this year!  But I do have to say that I am really excited for Halloween (T minus two days and counting!), even though the end of October is always bittersweet for me.  Especially since I…

    Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day

    ‘ When initially writing out “Martin Luther King Jr.” in the above title, I made a mistake, spelling his last name “Kind” instead of “King.”  Talk about an apropos typo!  Today, as we celebrate the birth of the great leader, whose example of compassion and love has proved everlasting, let’s remember to be kind to…

    Book Soup from “Bewitched”

    ‘ I am a total bookstore junkie – as I’ve mentioned numerous times on this site.  The rest of the world seems to be leaning in the opposite direction, though.  Still I was shocked – and saddened – to learn of the recent shuttering of the Barnes & Noble on the Third Street Promenade in…
