My Current Interest

               Last week I mentioned that the reason I started watching the Disney Channel was to see the sequel to Boy Meets World .   Now that I have started watching Girl Meets World I have gone back to the original to again watch what happened in the first place.   Boy Meets World may have ended in 2000, but it is still on TV regularly in reruns and of course there is the DVD option.   I find myself looking forward to each episode because I want to see what happens next even though I know full well what does happen.   This is just one of those shows that is easy to get hooked on despite knowing the entire story from start to finish.   Why this happens, I don’t know, but I’ll keep watching until I figure it out.                   Boy Meets World follows seven years in the life of Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and his friends.   Starting in sixth grade and going through the first two years of college (two years of high school get lost somewhere), the storylines follow the up

               Sometimes it is really nice to have something tame to watch.   With all the dark, dreary, and just plain strange things I usually have on my television screen, it is great to have a place I can turn to where everything is pleasant.   Lately that place has been the Disney Channel.                     I first started watching the Disney Channel when Girl Meets World came out.   Boy Meets World was a show I enjoyed during its original run and I was curious about what was going to be done with the sequel.   I must say the first few episodes I saw left me disappointed.   Things were far too goofy for my liking.   I decided I would only watch the episodes that had Boy Meets World cast members guest starring.   It was through these episodes that I slowly became attached to the show.   I was able to see the new characters develop and get more mature storylines.   The episodes with the Boy Meets World guest stars are still the ones I look forward to most, but now I f

               Through the years I have read many books about the Holocaust but I have never read any quite like this one.   It is incredible how much luck Thomas Buergenthal had as a boy.   The fortune teller who told his mother she had a “lucky child” was certainly right.   If one single thing had not gone Mr. Buergenthal’s way, he would have probably not survived to tell his story.                     Reading the book it was clear that a lot of the luck Mr. Buergenthal had was due to his parents.   Young Thomas Buergenthal came from a loving family that did everything they could to stay together.   Wherever their family was moved to, Thomas’s parents made sure they were put in roles of importance.   They held positions that made the SS think twice about sending them to the labor camps.   Eventually it did not matter what position a person held in the community, but until that point Thomas and his family managed to remain safe.                 Another reason the Buergenthal
