The Road Warrior

Mad Max 2
Well I watched the Road Warrior and I had forgotten how great this movie is. Many critics hailed it as one of the best of the 80's. Mel Gibson plays the burnt out cop wandering the wasteland looking for a tank of gasoline for his V8 Interceptor. I remember at the time that a lot of post apocalypse movies came out like DefCon 4, Steel Dawn, and Cherry 2000.

Bad Movies
A really cool website is www.badmovies.org . I love B movies and I've seen most of the ones listed like The Stuff, Reanimator, The Toxic Avenger or The Devil's Rain. Bad acting, bad special effects and Swiss cheese plot holes.

Chess
I've been teaching my son to play chess and now he's beating me. Granted I'm not a very good player. I read that this game is 1500 years old and came from India. It's popular because there's billions of possible moves.

Memoir Writing
Perhaps writing a memoir is not the best thing to be doing. It's nice to have time erase bad memories and painful experiences. Rehashing stuff I want to forget is not the best of times in this writing. There are a lot of great times so I suppose that most people have good times and bad times- that's what makes life the crazy ride that it is. I could sit on a stone floor like a monk but I want to breath the air, drink the wine and eat the cheese of life.
