This evergreen is not dead, it’s just losing its needles – so, not really ‘evergreen’ is it!

Tom Cruise tour de force story of drug-runner Barry Seal. Entertaining.

Disturbing movie of raising children under the radar of Child Protective Services. Well-made, low-budget effort improved by William Defoe and Bria Vinaite as the challenged mother of Moonee.

I once spent several years trying to digitally grow a leaf like this with 3D Studio Max, but mine was green and didn’t have this fantastic mottling.

Our neighbor is not on fire, just outdoing our lone pumpkin. We did face the happy guy away from our deck after the photo.

Book – ***+ Ancillary Sword (2014)

Continuing Ann Leckie sci.fi. story of human and AI minds in multiple host bodies called ancillaries. Weaker than the first book for not establishing fresh characters and plot complications, but enjoyable for the characters already established in the series.
