        Hey, everyone. I bought the game called Godfire, Rise of Prometheus late last night. I have been playing it for hours today and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I think it is one of the best games you can buy and it is so worth the $2.99 sale price or the $6.99 normal price. My advice is to run, not walk, to the ole app store and buy this adventure. Because it is an adventure indeed. Here's the recipe.      I am playing  the role of Prometheus, who has a visit from an odd masked lady. Visits from masked women almost always turn out to be trouble. If you don't believe me, ask Tom Cruise. At any rate, this lady wants me to do her a wee bit of a favor. She wants me to 'liberate' (steal) some chips of stuff that will enable the human race to live more full and enriched lives. Cool. I am up for that, being a hero and all. This sort of thing is expected of you.      The lady's mask has tears running down the cheeks, which I find strange. I can only as

   Hey, everyone. I have been enjoying an app called Louvre HD . This app has a collection of the famous museum's paintings and again I marvel at the ability to carry so many of the old masters' works in the palm of my hand. I thank the app's creators for this app.      The above painting is split into three pieces, not because it is that way on the app, because it isn't. Rather, I wanted to enlarge it, take screen shots and talk about it. As usual, I was meditating on the painting, just trying to get into the artist's head a bit.     The artist is, or was, one Francois Boucher who died in the 18th century. He liked to do landscapes and pastoral pictures and I enjoy them very much. This one is entitled The Shepherd's Presents or The Nest. It is derived from the collection of Louis XV.      If you can enlarge the part in which the people are, you'll see that the man is pointing to something in the lady's lap. It is a bird's nest, with some

    Hey, everyone. I watched a good movie this evening and I thought that I would tell you about it. It may have fell through the cracks for you, as it has for me. Despite the fact that I was a movie buff at that time, as well as today, I have never seen the film, until tonight on Turner Classic Movies. It came to the big screen, lo, these many years ago. 1971, to be exact. It was a time of mini-skirts and war in southeast Asia. Jane Fonda had an eye-catching presence in both. She stars as Bree Daniel, an aspiring actress in New York who makes ends meet by being a call girl. She is not a street walker but a highly paid professional of the evening.      A supposed former client of Bree's has gone missing. The man, Tom Gruneman (Robert Mili) has supposedly been sending the call girl creepy letters, but since they are typewritten, it is hard to prove he wrote them. Gruneman is figured to be dead, but his wife hires John Klute (Donald Sutherland) to investigate the disappearance. Of

    Hey, everyone. Glad to see that y'all have survived yet another work week. I have been remiss, of late, in describing a game for the puzzlers who lurk among you. My wife, Carley, is battling with a popular game that has skyrocketed into the top 10 or so games in the ole app store. It is called Bonza and as one might expect from the above pictures, it is a word game.      As I might have surmised, being a shooter gamer, myself, I am not crazy about this game. It is quite difficult, even for the puzzler contingent. This demographic, that represents the more stable, quieter, more studious and brainy members of our society, once they get their teeth into a puzzle, are like the proverbial iron-jawed mastiffs. So, Carley has played this game for several dozen hours, muttering to herself as the minutes tick by and occasionally asking me for help, which is amusing. She is like the High Priestess of puzzle games, so I was shocked, shocked I say, when she asked me for puzzle help.
