(I’ll probably take the opportunity to try to run some conduit up there to make it easier to run future cables.) Guess I’ll be running in a new outlet-and learning about fishing cable above plaster ceilings. My dad and I assembled it-and promptly learned that the extension cord powering my workshop didn’t provide sufficient juice to power the saw and the lights. On Sunday Lisa and I went and picked up a long-awaited tool purchase, our first major power tool: a 12″ compound miter saw. Lisa introduced Mom to the wonders of Filene’s Basement, and my dad and I wandered the North End, taking in Modern Pastry and the Old North Church. We did a brief drive-by and took a few photos to prove we were there.Īfterwards we went downtown. (My dad, Lisa, and I are addicted to the show, and my mom is very tolerant.) As there are only three or four major roads in Carlisle, it was pretty easy to find the house, though we did have to stop and get directions from some cookie-selling Girl Scouts. We were curious to see if we could find the current This Old House project. On Saturday morning we piled into the car, drove out through Lexington and on toward Carlisle. I already mentioned the Boston Camerata concert on Friday night. This was the first visit to our new place by my mom & dad, and it turned out to be a perfect introduction to New England winter. My parents came in last weekend for a fun-filled weekend of sightseeing and home improvement-we didn’t plan it but it kind of turned out that way. (Children’s music.)

In any case, Dean isn’t looking for love – in fact, love is the last thing on his agenda the fact that his mum left his dad for someone else years earlier and is now on husband number four isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement of couple-dom and he’s happily single with a lively social life, good friends and a great relationship with his dad. ![]() They work hard, but they love it – the place is doing really well and Dean enjoys working behind the bar, pulling pints, mixing cocktails, having a laugh and chatting with customers… but definitely NOT chatting them up – he and Maeve have a rule about not taking customers home for the night. It’s very much a ‘star vehicle’ for the two highly talented narrators, and the author freely admits that had it not been for her love and admiration for the work of Joe Arden and Shane East, she might never have found the inspiration for this story of the hockey star who does, indeed, walk into a bar – and finds the love of his life.ĭean Collins co-owns a popular London bar called The Magpie with his best friend Maeve.

And no amount of falling or feeling will change that one big problem.

Upon his return from his wonderful flight Tico joins the other birds and notes they act different. They frowned at him and informed him that "you think you are better than we are, don't you, with those golden wings.you wanted to be different." They then flew off leaving a very bewildered little bird behind. I do not want to tell the rest of the story here, but Tico learns that his golden wings are very valuable and by sharing them, one feather at a time, he can help oh so many people in oh so many ways. No spoilers here, but there is a rather beautiful ending to this story which teaches several lessons. The book deals with acceptance, giving, sharing and simply doing the right thing when called upon to do so. Strong messages here for the little ones, and I know from experience that the children recognize the moral or morals to this story almost instantly as the tale is being read to them. Of course there is the art work.with Lionni there is always the art really, his stories, his simple concise text, cannot be separated from the magnificent visuals he is known for. The setting here is India and the author has used his techniques of realism along with almost perfect graphic design to make the book extremely appealing to the eye. A study of each picture is almost a story within itself. Never does Lionni become preachy, sticky or Some plates are extremely simple while others are quite complex each though is almost perfection. I've been reading books to children for almost two decades, and Leo Lionni's books have always been among my favorites. They're simple in the same way that the parables of Jesus are simple - the meaning of the stories is immediately clear, yet they are deep and wise, and the stories stay with you forever.Tico and the Golden Wings is not one of Lionni's best known books (Swimmy and Frederick probably fill that category - and both of them are terrific), but it's one of my favorites. It's about a bird born without wings, who cannot fly like his friends. The friends are kind to him, but he feels left out because he cannot do the things they do. ![]() ![]() Wishing for wings, he gets his wish, but the wings are made of gold. As Tico flies around the world, he encounters people with great needs and tries to help them by giving each of them one of the gold feathers from his wings. His reward for this generosity is to grow a real feather for every golden one he gives away.In the end, Tico returns to his friends, who are thrilled to see him with wings just like theirs. They think he is now just like them, but Tico nurtures an understanding that his thoughts and experiences are not like those of his friends, that inside he is still different.The message is simple: you can care about others and still nurture your own indivuality. What is special about this book, though, is not just the lovely and wise message, but the fact that it remains lovely, and not the least bit cloying or preachy, after hundreds of readings. ![]() ![]() ![]() It'll come as no surprise, then, to see it take a spot on our best Netflix movies list. The boxing movie, which turned Sylvester Stallone into an overnight star, is unrivalled in its exploration of class divide, underdog spirit, and iconic music (who here hasn't worked out to Eye of the Tiger or the Rocky theme tune?).

And, with Wahlberg, MacFarlane, and Kunis all on top form, it's one we can't help but recommend. Still, you can't argue against its $550 million box office haul on a budget of just $50 to $60 million. The pair are inseparable and enjoy a hedonistic lifestyle, but soon find themselves at odds when John's girlfriend Lori (Mila Kunis) gives him an ultimatum: grow up and enjoy their lives together without Ted in tow, or forever be associated as the single guy who lives with his anthropomorphic toy.Ī raunchy and hilarious flick, albeit one with a somewhat generic plot, Ted is a film that you'll either love or hate.

Those issues aside, though, they're everything a comic book movie should be – thematically rich, funny, action-packed, narratively dark when needed, gorgeous to look at, and come equipped with a banging score and original soundtrack. Okay, the Tobey Maguire-starring films may have aged slightly since they were original released, and they can come off as slightly goofy, campy, and a tad misogynistic.

![]() ![]() Her teammates in the Outsiders, namely Halo and Looker were able to save her using other tengu and the tengu leader, who aided them in battle.Īfter a while, the team disbanded after various tragic events surrounding Geo-Force's parents and Markovia. Although Tatsu had left her past behind, the Oyabun returned in her life and sent a tengu after, with which he captured her. They became the official agents of Markovia and moved to the city of Los Angeles where they made their headquarters in the Markovian embassy, while retaining another secret HQ just off the shore. By undoing the ritual however, her husband returned into the sword as well.Īt one point the Outsiders split from Batman's leadership and took up residence in Markovia where they were funded by the Markovian crown (Geo-Force is a prince of the royal family). Katana had to fight them all and after a long battle that took its toll, Katana was able to reclaim the Soultaker and kill Takeo, and she could finally put an end to some of her ghosts. Among them were legendary mercenaries and assassins, but also Maseo, who was now a slave to the Oyabun. Performing a specific ritual, the Oyabun and Takeo managed to recall the souls that inhabited the sword, who proceeded to take corporeal form. Takeo took the sword to his master, the godfather of the Yakuza, known only as the Oyabun. Secretly he switched swords with her and left for Tokyo with the Outsiders on his tail. Tatsu became Halo's guardian and the two moved into the penthouse.Īt the same time, Takeo was still at large and had followed Tatsu to Gotham City. The team managed to end the Baron's tyranny in Markovia and moved to Gotham City, where they set up their headquarters (a former penthouse of Bruce Wayne, secretly the Batman). Katana and Halo became founding members of the team, alongside Black Lightning, Geo-Force and Metamorpho. The two joined up to rescue Batman, who got captured by a blunder by Halo, and his employee Lucius Fox from their captor, Baron Bedlam.īatman resigned his membership in the Justice League when they refused to help him in his pursuit of the Baron, and he decided instead to form the Outsiders, who were meant to be more pro-active against threats. After the fight she encountered a young girl who was named Halo. She took the codename Katana after the sword that she wielded.Įventually Tatsu journeyed to Markovia, a small Baltic state, where she had tracked down Karnz, and she was successful in killing him. After much time she graduated from his tutorship and left for America where she intended to use her talents to fight for justice. Tatsu began training as a samurai under a master called Tadashi. She listened, and watched as her house burned. When she attempted to go after her children, she heard her husband's voice telling her to turn back- coming from the sword. Tatsu arose just in time to see her husband die, and engaged Takeo, gaining the upper hand and disarming him. In the course of the fight, Takeo accidentally started a fire, and while distracted by his children, Maseo was slain with the Soultaker. Tossing the non-powered sword to his brother and demanding he duel for Tatsu, he quickly struck Maseo down. One night, Takeo took both swords to the Yamashiro residence. He was presented with a pair of matched swords by General Karnz, one of which Takeo favored due to its mystical properties, which would come to be known as the Soultaker. Meanwhile, Takeo rose in rank of the Yakuza, and one of his exotic tastes included ancient weapons. ![]() As a result, his family disowned him.Īfter the deaths of Tatsu's parents, (cause unknown) she and Maseo started a family of their own, and she gave birth to twins, Yuki and Reiko. ![]() By this time, he had joined the Yakuza, receiving a large dragon tattoo across his chest to mark himself as such. This angered Takeo, who refused to attend the couple's wedding. Two brothers, Maseo and Takeo Yamashiro, both proclaimed their love for her.
