My wife and I enjoyed this film last night. Several twists and turns kept us involved and entertained. No action, of course, but thought provoking and interesting watching the process.

Re: The End of an Era

The loft has a 5.3.4 system with a 75” tv and also a 106” inch screen that comes down over the tv for night time movie viewing. Couches ...

Watched The Gorge last night on Apple TV with my wife. It was entertaining for both of us. Took us on a roller coaster ride without leaving the house.

About 6 months ago I entered a contest and won a 4k LG lifestyle Laser projector. My old LED projector was rated at about 1000 lumens but calibrated is likely 600. The ...

Re: What’s Spinning?

Last night I spent some time listening to Marc Cohn. It had been a while since I checked out his stuff. It was enjoyable.

I have also liked many of the Atmos mixes on Apple Music. Roxy music Avalon is a really good remix.
