The ability to have no opinions about things, to not need to insert yourself into everything that’s happening…is a feat of strength in our time which we must cultivate…to not let the craziness of our times make us crazy. – Ryan Holiday
No More Trailer Commercials
There have been some negative trends over the past few years, but all in all the worst has to be commercials for movie trailers. Spend a few bucks, buy a two minute spot and let us watch the trailer. I’ll go to one thing, the movie itself, or my computer to watch the trailer.

The True Inspiration for the New Dexter Series

Shuffleboard and Spa – January 21, 2025

We had a fantastic time today, as Captain Junkanoo of Pirate Jeep Tours showed us around New Providence Island. He taught us a lot of the history of the area, with a focus on pirates. And we sampled local chocolate, wine and rum.
