My Current Interest

I started reading The Bodyguard  by Katherine Center at a very memorable moment. The power had just gone out for my street only. At that time of night, without any light, my two options were to go to bed early or read by flashlight. I opted to read by flashlight. One would think during this time I would go for a scary book. I chose a romance. While I worried about when the lights would come back on and if everything in the refrigerator and freezer was going to spoil, a light, fun romance was exactly what I needed. The Bodyguard Katherine Center Hannah Brooks needs a change of scenery Hannah Brooks’s life is not going well. Her mother has died. She has been taken off an assignment she was looking forward to. Plus, her boyfriend has broken up with her. With all this going on, Hannah needs to get out of town. Which is why she is not at all happy when her new assignment keeps her exactly where she lives. Guarding Jack Stapleton What are these assignments I am talking about?...

It’s funny how a movie from 1960 set in the 1920s can so resemble today. The fight for the freedom to think and learn remains strong. With it, we are fighting people who believe their own religious beliefs are the right beliefs and should supersede all others. It is a war being waged on so many levels, topics, and rights today. Which leads me to asking, as some feel they should be allowed to ban books, hinder reproductive rights, and stop marriage rights because of their own personal religious beliefs, do we really want to go back to the same thoughts and mentalities from one hundred years ago? Inherit the Wind Spencer Tracy, Fredric March, Dick York, Donna Anderson Cates is arrested for his beliefs Bertram T. Cates (Dick York) has been arrested. He was not only arrested, but an entire production was made of it. Led by Reverend Jeremiah Brown (Claude Akins), a group of townsmen arrived in Cates’s classroom with a photojournalist. They interrupted his lesson, planted the camera ...

Season 7: Episode 4 Will knows better again. Or so he thinks. Thought Bubbles Kate Dorsey Will creates enough problems on his own Everyone loves telling Reverend Will Davenport (Tom Brittney) all their petty squabbles and concerns after his church services. It’s to the point Will hears so many concerns that he starts to tune them out. Which is why when Bonnie Evans (Charlotte Ritchie) shows up one morning after service, he is all too happy to turn his attention to someone who was not at church that day. Bonnie is at the church to talk about Cathy Keating (Kacey Ainsworth). Cathy is separated from her husband, DI Geordie Keating (Robson Green), and Bonnie is worried about how poorly Cathy is doing despite the front she puts on. Geordie is staying at the vicarage with Will, which gives Will direct access to see Geordie is not doing well with the separation either. Will and Bonnie hatch a plan to get the two of them together again. Except the plan goes terribly wrong. Both Geord...

Season 7: Episode 3 Ready for more of Will acting like a self-absorbed idiot? Here we go! Geordie takes a stand For a while now, DI Geordie Keating (Robson Green) has been wondering about a series of vagrant deaths. His boss, DCI Elliott Wallace (Michael D. Xavier), wants to dismiss these cases with the belief that no one cares these people have died, nor should they. Geordie rightfully disagrees. When he and former curate Leonard Finch (Al Weaver) discover a dead homeless man in the doorway of Leonard’s café, Geordie refuses to let the case go. Still, others he works with disagree, but Geordie will not dismiss this case. DC Larry Peters (Bradley Hall) is one of the ones who says the man in the café doorway is not worth looking into. The disgusted look Geordie gives Larry is absolutely perfect. Usually, Geordie investigates his cases with Reverend Will Davenport (Tom Brittney), only Wallace no longer wants Will working on cases. He does not see why a clergyman would be involved...

Over the Net Kate Dorsey Years ago, when I first started this blog, I wrote a post about Roger Federer but never put it up. I’m not fully sure why. Maybe it was because I didn’t want to alienate anyone by saying who my favorite tennis player was. Or maybe I felt I would jinx Roger (which is what we call Roger Federer in our house) by writing about him. Whatever the reason, once Roger announced his retirement, I felt ready to write and put up a post about him. This post is definitely different than what I originally intended to write about years ago, but it is time. The end of an era I found out from my brother that Roger had retired. He messaged me the morning of the announcement. Not long later, my mom called. Everyone in my family knows Roger is my favorite tennis player and always has been. They wanted me to know what was going on. The funny thing is, I would have found out about Roger’s retirement all on my own had I checked the sports news. I was about to, then I thought the...

Season 7: Episode 2 One would think, once you find out a woman is unavailable, you would stay away from her. But not Will. He goes right back into her arms. Grantchester Season 7 Robson Green, Kacey Ainsworth Tom Brittney, Al Weaver Tessa Peake Jones, Nick Brimble The delusion of love After Reverend Will Davenport (Tom Brittney) finds out the truth about his love interest, Maya (Ellora Torchia), he’s not sure what to do with himself. He spends time alone, under a tree, smoking. Or at least that is what he is doing when Maya shows up again. After which they go to bed together, again. (Now you see why I said in the last post Will is acting like an idiot?) Will is now more certain than ever that he is in love. He makes plans about marriage and kids; two things Maya clearly does not want to talk about. What Will does not think about is the fact he is participating in infidelity. One would think a reverend would have at least a little hesitation about this, but I guess not. Nor d...

Season 7: Episode 1 Get ready for a season of men acting like idiots. Will especially. I don’t know where Reverend Will Davenport’s head is in this seventh season of Grantchester , but it’s not in a good place. Grantchester Season 7 Robson Green and Tom Brittney Geordie’s in trouble again DI Geordie Keating (Robson Green) is living at the vicarage now that his wife, Cathy (Kacey Ainsworth) has kicked him out of the house. Before this, he already spent a lot of time with Reverend Will Davenport (Tom Brittney). Now that they are living together, he spends even more. Except the time they spend together is not always spent doing something Geordie wants to do. Instead of going to the local pub Geordie is happy to go to, one night Will drags Geordie to a jazz club. This is definitely not Geordie’s scene. When Will ditches Geordie for a woman on the dance floor, Geordie is all too happy to ditch Will in return. It’s probably a good thing Geordie took off that night. He was schedul...
