We Interrupt This Gradeapalooza…
…for a dose of potpourri. The Spawn, Mrs. M, and I saw the animated Disney feature Big Hero 6 at the Real City Megaplex yesterday afternoon. No, it isn’t a sequel to Big Hero 5 — the six indicates the number of … Continue reading

Mr. Handler has already engaged in self-denunciation, so doubtless his re-education and rehabilitation (two … Continue reading
