Goat's butts, outdoor ovens and life on the farm

Posted by Fred Steiner on February 24, 2010 - 5:20pm

My sister-in-law recently commented on her blog that her life must seem boring to those who read about it. I think she's dead wrong. If only she knew how often I read her blog not just because she's my beloved sister-in-law, but because I need to be entertained. Not a blog goes by that doesn't get at least one laugh or "awwwwwwwww" out of me.

Movie review Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Movie review
By Kerry Bush

After seeing Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, I wondered if the screenwriter of the movie even read the book the movie was supposedly based on or if he just got a summary from Wikipedia.

Although come to think of it, even Wikipedia with all its editors can give a better synopsis of Rick Riordan's epic novel The Lightning Thief than the screenwriter of this movie did.
