It’s all over. The Skywalker journey is complete. Well, sort of… Way back in December of 2015, droves of people showed up to watch Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Now, it’s been a few months since the December, 2019 release of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. Fans have had lots of time to watch these films if they haven’t yet, what with the plague upon us *cough*COVID-19*cough* so with all that time to watch the films and digest the message the films conveyed as a whole, I wanted to personally take a look back at the Sequel Trilogy (ST) as compared to the Original Trilogy (OT) and the Prequel Trilogy (PT). We know that some dislike various films in…

Concord – The Little Town With Everything

Posted on May 6, 2019

Every year for a few years now, I’ve visited the town of Concord, Massachusetts. With every successive year I’ve gone, I’ve been dealing with new sets of challenges and new personal goals along the way. The original purpose in visiting Concord (and the surrounding towns of Lexington, Lincoln, and Bedford) was to bone up on my history and explore a town that had a lot to do with the beginnings of the American Revolution. Through the context of my own visits, I hoped to gain some insight into what it was like back then, what the people were like, and what it felt like to be in a significant historical spot like The Old North Bridge.

Posted on November 10, 2018

There’s a somewhat alarming sign that greets you as you approach the western end of the Kancamagus (pronounced “Kan-kuh-MOG-us” if you were wondering) Highway in Lincoln, New Hampshire. It reads “No gas for the next 32 miles”. As you pass the sign, you drive along a narrow stretch of road that winds itself through the White Mountains and through some extremely beautiful scenery. It’s a real treat in the fall, when the foliage is popping – but it can be a wonderful experience in the summer as well.
