I'd like to write a companion to this book for biography. Thomas Ford just received its copy of Read On ... Life Stories by Rosalind Reisner, the sixth title in the Read On... readers' advisory series, the second title this year . This book which focuses on autobiography and memoir has the same look and feel as the other books in the series. It has five reading appeal sections: character, story, setting,...

This week, I have all of my kids at home. It hasn't been like this for a while, with Houdin being gone at discipleship training for the past couple of months and Bard off at college. It won't be like this again for a while. On Monday, Bard will head back to college and on Tuesday, 18-year-old Houdin will leave for an eight-month outreach placement to Africa. But while they're all here, I'm reminded...

a mere 8 soundtrack credits shy of matching dylan, john's 281 total is equally staggering. john acted in 9 films and even if we only had 'a hard day's night' i'd be satisfied. it is always interesting to me which people are photographed with cats as opposed to dogs. feline love to john.

A scene ripped right from the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" played out at a Long Island mall yesterday, as several thousand screaming teenage girls went into an uncontrollable frenzy when cops nixed an appearance by Canadian singing sensation Justin ...

Whilst browsing through the internet for a hotel to spend an overnight stay in, I managed to stumble across an article on John Lennon, a man who in my mind was one of the greatest, most talented singer songwriters this country has ever produced. It’s not that I’m easily distracted really more a click happy [...]

Another day, another video collection to celebrate the Fab Four. They haven't gotten old in 45 years, no reason to think they will any time soon. "A Hard Day's Night" "You Can't Do That"

The Yellow Submarine exists. It’s not a mirage, or a mind game. Someone, inspired by the Beatles, built the Yellow Submarine, and it exits to this day. Yellow Submarine, the movie, is a great, great film for children and adults, and, in its own way, is as good a Beatles movie as A Hard Day’s Night. Released in November of 1968, the same month that The White Album came out, Yellow Submarine...

I recently received a Kreativ Blogger award from the lovely Cafe Chatelaine . She and I both live in beatiful New England. We've even photographed many of the same towns on occasion (Boston, Cambridge, Concord, Rockport, etc.), but you must visit her blog to get a feel for the true beauty of our region because she is a true photographer with an artistic eye! Her photos are amazing (her blog banners...

Nothing really beats having your own car to commute to the office. While I’m not yet that good at driving (I still get scared going out to the main road), my boyfriend does the driving for us. We have already bought a car together a couple of months ago in preparation to our upcoming wedding.

Aside from such obvious aspects -- including the difference between black and white and color film stock -- the back and forth between the films was also reflective of their burgeoning creative output. It wasn't the biggest stretch for a suddenly successful rock band. Heck, Elvis had been doing it since 1956, and throughout Hollywood, DJ Alan Freed and his burgeoning rock and roll revues were getting...

This box , according to the eBay seller, once sat in a dime store's display counter. It originally held 24-packs of cards with gum. It's a pretty rare item, they say. My favorite version of a Hard Day's Night is...

I'm a bit scared to Google him, but I will. Later. Right now I have to get the dream down. You see, when I dream of someone from my past, after a long time, after no contact... well, something has probably happened to him. Hopefully not death, but in my dreaming experience, that's been true before. I developed a crush on John M when I was in fifth grade, and he was in fourth. This is not the famous...
