I hoped but I feared. Then I watched and my fears were realized. While Star Trek: Discovery looks beautiful I found the teasing first episode to be disappointing. Not horrible just not good. A friend of mine who also works in the industry had the perfect word that incapsulated all my problems with the show. It’s lazy. *************************SPOILERS****************SPOILERS***************SPOILERS**************SPOILERS******* The writing is lazy with terrible on the...

I know this is probably going to earn me blowback, but I’m becoming increasingly concerned over the behavior of the Antifa protestors. Home grown Nazis and white supremacists are praying that some Antifa member kills someone. For god’s sake don’t give them that cover or the satisfaction.

As I walked past the imposing town hall (A copy of a Renaissance Italian palace) I read that this was the site of the Nobel prize ceremony. And immediately I began to see scenes for the next...

I decided to write a blog post rather than the more ephemeral Facebook post. I’ll go back and grab Helsinki, but right now I want to talk about Stockholm and my first day in Copenhagen. So far Stockholm still has my heart over both Helsinki and Copenhagen. Copenhagen is a lovely city, but despite the colorful older buildings lining the broad boulevards it has a very modern feel. Stockholm’s Old City and the walk along the river past City Hall was more charming. Not as old as...
