From vaudeville to the big screen to the small screen and on radio, there was arguably no bigger star in the early to mid 1900’s than Groucho Marx. As the host of You Bet Your Life both on radio and TV, and as memorable characters Captain Jeffrey T. Spaulding, Rufus T. Firefly, Doctor Hugo Z. Hackenbush and many others,

As a geek, I have bookcases full of stuff. It’s the nature of the beast. Some of it is legit storage, but more often than not, it’s an amazing trophy case of books, magazines, games and figurines from my past and present.

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.” These were the lines I was waiting for as I sat in the theater to see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. They weren’t the first lines of the movie as I had hoped but Peter Jackson and his writing crew had more to accomplish than just telling the story of The Hobbit.

He had to weave us back through the Lord of the Rings, where he started our cinematic voyage through Middle Earth, back to the story that set it all into motion.

On my kindle, I’ve just started reading Jedi Manual Basic – Introduction to Jedi Knighthood. After the first chapter you are given a writing assignment.

Maybe you’ll agree and maybe you won’t, but these are my thoughts on the reading and the research that I’ve done. At any rate, I hope you enjoy it.
