Earlier this summer I was struck by a piece of brilliance. No jokes please…. I was watching the new Green Lantern movie and learning, for the first time, about the story of the Green Lanterns. Have you heard it? I will ‘splain. No. There is too much. I will sum up… There are tons of Green Lanterns in…
I will tell you up front that this is, in part, a smoke screen. I have been staring at the “new post” page for more than two days* and don’t know where to start. This happened last year too. So, I am posting this to entertain you while I come up with a clear thought.…
