Demons Are Forever: Confessions of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom by Julie Kenner

Reviewed by Andrea Sisco

Kate Conner is the busiest mom in town. She has to balance the wife and mother ‘thing’ with returning to the world of the working mother. Think ‘Buffy’ all grown up and living in suburbia where she’s saving her town by ‘knocking off’ one demon at a time. The problem is her family doesn’t know she’s the demon killer ‘queen.’ Until now.

Sound Off: The Wedding Singers

My husband and I have performed at a lot of weddings over the years. In fact we just sang in a wedding over the 4th of July weekend at the Lutsen Ski Resort. On the way to the wedding, we discussed the many different songs we’ve sung for wedding ceremonies, either together or apart, throughout our lives. The range of musical tastes for weddings is amazing. We’ve sung songs from Stryper to Madonna and everything in between. We shared a few memories from our solo wedding singing days and compiled a list of songs that we’ve sung together and/or apart.

Talkin' About TV

Episode 27 - Everything old is new again

If you plan on watching even ten minutes of NBC's coverage of the 2008 Summer Olympics in the next two weeks you'll be subjected to an onslaught of propaganda relating to the fall television season. Remember to clean out your Tivos because I'm sure you'll find something worthy to record even if the newest trend is to bring back a show that should most likely stay away.

The Greatest Bestest Movie Possibly Ever

I was going to start posting every Tuesday and Friday and I was on a roll. Then... I moved. I was without internet (gasp!) and when it returned I was preoccupied with other things.
