Quick review of this one.  Denzel Washington who rarely gives a bad performance, and John Travolta who can be hit or miss, but he hits this one.  Not your typical action movie but there’s plenty of action.  It’s more of a psychological thriller.  It’s a remake with some new twists, of the hijacking of a NY City subway train.  This is a really good movie.  A definite see!

Here’s an interesting and new article from Eatingwell Magazine reviewing the latest findings on the health benefits (or not) of moderate alcohol consumption.  Apparently the most compelling word when it comes to drinking is “moderation”.  The author Kristin Ohlson, who admits she does drink, sums up the article with “So I’ll keep drinking, but remind myself that “moderate” is somewhat short of the number of drinks that inspire me to call my brother and sing Daffy Duck’s Rhapsody.”  Too Funny!

Thank you!!!!  I hope you feel honored and appreciated today.

Watching it again.  This movie just resonates with me.  Fav song: Lies.

A buddy of mine recently gave me a digital copy of an album I bought on vinyl in the early 1980’s and listened to a lot.  I haven’t heard it since way back when ever it was that my turntable belt snapped.  After many years it’s really good to hear it again.  At least for the first few minutes.

Today is election day.  Here in Indiana most polls are closed with the exception of a few counties that have referendums on extra funding for certain school districts, and here in Marion county (a.k.a. Indianapolis) the great public health care institution Wishard Hospital is requesting funds to build new facilities to replace the aging and deteriorating one they currently have.  It seems like a no-brainer.  It is NOT.

I watch a lot of movies.  Some I post here.  Many I do not, either because I don’t take the time to or frankly, because they stink and don’t deserve my time.  This is sort of a movie review, except it’s about a series.  A very well produced television series by CBS, that really isn’t a series in the sense of the norm on TV.

I’ve been a huge recycling advocate for many years.  I heard today that Indiana puts more trash in landfills per capita than any other state.  I can believe it.  Most people I know think recycling is stupid and useless, a mindset I do not understand.  To me it simply makes logical sense.  So while it isn’t earth day or anything like that, in honor of recycling today I’ll post a link for a site that helps you locate recycling centers for any type of item you need to recycle from paper to glass to paint to electronics.  Please visit Earth911.com and help do your part.
