I’m really enjoying this series about private detective Cormoran Strike and his assistant Robin. Like most good detective series the relationship between Strike and Robin is as intriguing as their cases. I’m currently on the latest book of the series. For anyone interested, here’s the order...

Has anyone else both read the book and watched the adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s “Good Omens” on AmazonPrime? It’s a six part series starring Michael Sheen and David Tennant. Neil Gaiman was both showrunner and writer so the show has remained very faithful to the book. I...

Damn. So stupid. What was I thinking? Too many excuses. Too much procrastination, thinking there'd always be time. Now it's too late. I always thought there'd be lots of time to talk about my mother with dad. But the time never seemed right. I did try once. I had taken him out for...

I know there's quite a bit of expertise in TBF membership about computers, so here's the thing: A college-aged son has decided to take the plunge and get a laptop, mostly for school, but also for music, etc. He's done quite a bit of research already, but would really like to get some...
