Last night I had the distinct pleasure of seeing a first screening of the movie, "Truth," starring Robert Redford and Cate Blanchett (and a long roster of other talented actors). It is the story of the controversy surrounding CBS anchor Dan Rather (Robert Redford) and "60 Minutes" producer Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett) after the network broadcasts a report about President George W. Bush and his military service.

I admit that I don’t watch much television anymore. It’s just hard to find the time to commit to a regular series. There are a few that call me, but honestly not all that much.

  When was the last time you completely stepped out of your comfort zone and did something crazy? That is not something I do very often. Generally, I am a cautious person and do not, comfortably step away from my comfort zone.    

Here was my text conversation with my son Joshua the other day:   Me:  What time do you leave work? Josh: 5.  Why? Me: Thought we could get a beer.

Here's a way to avoid the extra bag charge if you're flying...wear all your clothes. Silly I know, but someone actually tried this.   James McElvar, 19, of the boy band Rewind fell ill after attempting to avoid a $70 luggage charge by wearing all of this clothes on an EasyJet flight.   The singer collapsed on the plane due to heat exhaustion. McLever, who wore 12 layers of clothing, told The Sun, “I thought I was having a heart attack. I thought I was a goner.”  

The Pope's visit evoked memories.

The sign read “No Parking - Friday Midnight - Monday 6am”. She parked on Thursday evening and found a ticket on her windshield on Friday morning. The ticket was issued at 12:06 a.m. on Friday. We all know what Midnight means....or do we? That moment between one day and the next. Lawyers tend to try to avoid confusion -- opting for “11:59 p.m.” or “12:01 a.m.”
