Cast of characters: Mike - Victim Denise - Mike's wife Brian - Mike's best friend Cheryl - Mike's mom Very long story -- 18 years in the making, but here's the short version: Mike, an avid hunter, disappeared. Denise pushed, and succeeded, to have him legally declared dead within the year...

"Vice" tonight. Fascinating but I didn't think it was near as clever as it thought it was. It was, however, quite interesting to watch on the compound in Baghdad.

He was my favorite Monkee, but I might have to talk my sister off a ledge.

"Obit," a documentary on the NY Times obituary writers. Thanks to this site, I discovered Kanopy, which has lots of documentaries and indie-type films. Great stuff.

What's even more fun is "inspired by a true story." Example: "Eight Below." Wiki: "Inspired" covers a lot of ground. I feel fairly certain the "Caddyshack" writers probably golfed a time or two. Might have even inspired them to write the screenplay.

Invested wisely. Learned another language. Stood up for that kid in class who got picked on.

Reportedly said, “I’m on a plane that looks like it’s going to fall apart.” (I’m having phone issues posting the link. It’s BBC.)

Search for footballer's plane resumes Cardiff City striker’s plane missing. Looks like it was just him and the pilot on board. Was on his way to meet the team he’d just signed with and flight went missing over the English Channel. It’s likely the 28-year-old is dead, as us the pilot. Can’t...

Now I'm dealing with this. (The ID theft, not the misheard song lyrics.) My mom's house is my home of record and I've now received two notices there to call to provide more information so A. Amazon and B. Ginny's in Wisconsin can complete my order. Amazon thinks I ordered a store card and Ginny...

PepsiCo Netherlands thinks Americans taste like Cool Ranch.

My mom. There's a valid reason I sent her to Yankee fantasy camp for her 50th wedding anniversary. And an equally valid reason why I got my father a $50 Whataburger gift card for the same occasion.

Half of US adults have a immediate family member who's been to jail or prison. Report: Half of US adults have immediate family member who has been in jail or prison - CNNPolitics Who's your incarcerated family member? My (former) sister-in-law was in prison for embezzling. I think she...

I'd go with Princess Diana, not so much because I care anything about the monarchy but because from a news standpoint, it went on forever and everyone had to put out localized stories for what seemed like weeks. Another one that hit me recently barely constitutes celebrity: Lari White, the...
