I joined PBS online for streaming their shows for just $5.00 a month. I was thrilled until I tried to watch various videos. Almost every video I wanted to watch required a Passport, an additional donation. I felt ripped off. Every once in a while I do streaming video searches for my favorite movies and […]

By Don and Peg Doman A weeping, crying, demoralizing, down and dirty shame . . . COVID is killing our local live theatres. I feel like I am being locked out of local stage productions and theatres. I’ve been on two theatrical boards of directors; we always strived to gain more supporters and ticket buyers […]

I read the teaser about “Being Rose” several times on Prime over the past six months. Starring Cybill Sheppard, not one of my favorite actresses, but the story line read like it had possibilities.

Almost three years ago Peg and I attended a fund-raising dinner for Catherine Place, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping women. Here is their mission: “We are committed to addressing the particular needs of women who are materially poor, in transition, or facing the daily challenges associated with poverty, loss, violence, immigration and illness.” We […]

Here we go, again. Black man shot . . . by police . . . unarmed . . . in the back. One has to wonder if our police officers across the nation are just down right stupid, badly trained, simply afraid . . . or actually racists. “This certainly is not the first time […]
