The inherited time piece. on Flickr.
This watch was my grandfather’s on my dad’s side.
 Joe, my grandfather, didn’t give it directly to me but passed it to my uncle. This particular uncle wasn’t on my dad’s side of the family but my mom’s.
 My uncle, Harry, known to all as Junior, held the watch for decades. It was in a glass case in the living room of my aunt’s and his house. 
 When he passed last year, my Aunt Leota told me he had asked her to pass it to me. At the time of the funeral she’d been unable to locate the watch.
 Near the end of last year the watch arrived in the mail. It wasn’t running. 
 Sadly I let it set on my desk for months.
 As my anniversary with my wife neared, Sharon decided to surprise me with having the watch cleaned and repaired/made to work.
 So there you go. The watch, running, with me. 
 It was a great thing to share about.
 Thank you Joe and Junior.

Todd R. Jordan reviewed: Doctor Who: The Silent Stars Go By: 50th Anniversary Edition by Dan Abnett Captures the characters., March 17, 2013 This review is from: Doctor Who: The Silent Stars Go By: 50th Anniversary Edition (Kindle Edition) This tale well captured the banter and interplay between the Ponds and The Doctor. There were some dropped plot points. Starts slow but picks up the pace well near the end. Leaves us with a classic Doctor Who finish. - Todd Jordan

‘What are all these cut-outs about, anyway?’
 
It’s a question I’ve heard a lot of late; and I didn’t have an especially good answer until I really sat and took a moment to think it over.  It essentially stems from a type of art therapy that I’ve developed over the course of my work as a child psychologist. 
 
Kids generally don’t like to come to therapy and just talk – lying on the couch and delving into one’s issues doesn’t really come naturally.  It’s often just too anxiety provoking.  They need something to do, something to offer a little distraction.  Toys or building Lego or playing board games can be good, but making art is usually infinitely better.  Having something to do with your hands can frequently have a remarkable capacity to ease the nerves and facilitate a more open and ultimately therapeutic dialogue.
 
And these cut-outs have been especially effective in this fashion.  Something about making a drawing, cutting it up into its multiple pieces with scissors, and then reassembling it into an all new whole just fits in with the general goal of what the patient and I are working toward.  
 
The real reasons why it works sort of defies explanation, but it works and, in the end, that’s all that matters.
 
D.W. Winnicott once noted that mental health in children is reliant on the child’s ability to ‘go to pieces without falling apart.’  And maybe that in tune with we are doing with these cut-outs…  …taking apart the pieces without losing them, and then putting them back to create a new, more refined gestalt.

Mutant Women of Earth: How Chris Claremont Reinvented the Female Superhero
 
I did not write this, and I will forever kick myself for not writing it. But I also could not have done a better job, or a job as good as this. This is a phenomenal read and expertly explains why the X-Men are so special, and why Chris Claremont is so important. Seriously, people like to hate on the guy (a couple decades of weird work will do that), but his importance to the comic book medium and the superhero genre is undeniable. Undeniable. The man was a trailblazer, a genius and the biggest proponent for gender equality that comics had seen in his heyday…all under the radar.
 
I mean, I pretty much hinge my entire feminist identity on the X-Men and how, through reading these classic comics and watching those cartoons as a kid (as well as having my mother for a mother and my sister for a sister), the notion that gender inequality even existed never crossed my mind. In Claremont’s X-Men, characters were characters, and Storm was the leader because she was the leader. Rogue became one of my favorite characters, more than Wolverine (the one targeted to young boys to idolize), because she was a bad-ass of epic proportions. Buffy the Vampire Slayer exists because Claremont and John Byrne created Kitty Pryde. So much of this stuff goes back to Claremont and that ground-breaking work he did. 
 
When I go to comic conventions, I do that creepy thing where I just stare at Claremont, like I did when I first saw David Letterman or Harrison Ford. I have talked to him before, and it was delightful, but the guy’s a legend. And sometimes it’s hard for me to realize that he’s a real person, sitting behind a table signing comics.
 
I could write about this forever, but I really have to fix lunch.

Todd R. Jordan gave 4 stars to: Looper - http://www.amazon.com/review...
Todd R. Jordan reviewed: Looper Amazon Instant Video ~ Bruce Willis Interesting but slow paced, March 10, 2013 Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Looper (Amazon Instant Video) The movie starts off slow and takes a while to build up to the plot being in motion. There is plenty of relatively non-gory violence while we wait to see things kick into action. Once we get the gist of the plot, then it becomes a waiting game as the main characters circle. It's clear long before you get to the end of the movie who is in the final confrontation. This lead me to suspect how things might have to end. It was worth the $5 since I didn't have to buy popcorn, soda, nor deal with talkers doing the movie. - Todd Jordan

The government has been listening in since communications became easy to monitor. In the days of the World Wars and beyond, the US government, along with our allies, began an active listening program on phone calls and other electronic communication.
 Google announced the FBI has been reviewing our emails. 
 All of this to protect us from … potential threats.
 That used to be Nazis and Communists. Today the boogey man is ‘terrorists’.
 Or perhaps you’re a risk to society.
 What’s your take?
