Good morning, everyone! Happy July 4th to those of you celebrating Independence Day in the United States! I hope that you are having a fun, safe holiday weekend.

Good afternoon, everyone! Did you know that today is World UFO Day? While there are many ways to celebrate this particular holiday, I think World UFO Day is a great opportunity to spend time enjoying science fiction (whether in the form of books, television, or movies). Personally, I'm planning to celebrate by watching a few…

Good morning, everyone! It's hard to believe we are only a couple short days away from the beginning of June, but here we are. My grandmother's condition continues to remain about the same.

While I desperately want to talk about…
