Ghost Ship

November 1, 2016

Wanna hear a ghost story?  (It’s still Halloween in the States, I believe, though I’m on the far side of the dateline myself.)

Return to Palau

October 22, 2016

Oceania

October 19, 2016

I’m going off to the Pacific for two and a half weeks, to commune with my finny friends. Much of that time I’ll be on a boat with no phone or internet connection, which I for one find to be a delightful prospect.  The rest of the time I’ll be on one or another island. […]

Reviews Too Late: Staying Up Too Late with HBO

October 13, 2016

I got free HBO last weekend as part of a promotion for Westworld, which I didn’t watch.  But I did sit down to watch a number of movies I hadn’t seen in theaters.  (I see so few movies on release that if I were an Oscar voter, I’d be voting only for the Retro Oscars.) And […]
