The second set of Christmas gifts has arrived. I received three new films to add to my video (blu-ray) library: Iron Man (2008), Batman Begins (2005), and The Dark Knight (2008). Yes, I admit that I already own the first … Continue reading
Goodbye Sentra, hello Maxima
A little background history for ya….. About three years ago, we leased a Nissan Sentra for my wife to use. She was working in nearby Princeton, it was inexpensive, and it was tiny like her. A year into the lease, my … Continue reading
