People always seem shocked when I tell them I’m from Denton. Typical responses include, “How do you drive down here EVERY DAY?!?” or “Why do you live there?” Admittedly, it is very odd. Even though we get a nice HOV lane most of the way down, my typical “commute” can take 40 or so minutes on a good day. And...
On January 27, 2024, M.S. 'Icon of the Seas' departed Miami on her maiden cruise. At 248,663 tons, she is the largest cruise ship ever built, five times larger than the R.M.S. 'Titanic.' Beyond doubt, she is a marvel of modern engineering, and will lead the cruise industry into a new era. Yet, how did the cruise industry begin...
On October 27, 2014, Taylor Swift’s fifth studio album, 1989, was released with high hopes from her fans.

Finding the needles in the haystack can be difficult, but I've listened through the tracks and albums of the summer, and I'm...
The film Bohemian Rhapsody tells the life story of English rock band, Queen. Led by singer Freddie Mercury, the band was a hit-maker in the 70s and 80s rock scene, and continues to be a favorite band for many, young and old. With 23 million views on the movie's official trailer, this movie was promoted as the definitive Queen...
When you think of sequels, the first thing that probably comes to mind is how they never are better than or even comparable to the original. Film goers often dwell on the disappointment of movies like Godfather Part 3 while failing to remember that some sequels such as The Empire Strikes Back and The Dark Knight have successfully expanded upon the success of...
