A new year brings a new set of challenges.  For the young couple in the story, it will be doubly challenging. 

Season 3 was an eventful one. I shared a number of stories with the students which I thoroughly enjoyed producing. I'm looking forward to creating and sharing many more. I expect Season 4 to be just as eventful in a good way!

Time: How do we place a value on it? It depends on the society we live in. Some make the best use of it; others woefully waste it. How do we know in which group we fall? Only TIME can tell.

I thought it fitting that I end season 2 and the year 2021 with a topic that has impacted our lives in so many ways: technology.

Ricky Martin's song "Living la Vida Loca" inspired this piece. I referenced it to the topic. This past year 2021 has been no picnic and if it weren't for the advances we've made in technology, we might not have made it to December. Technology has its advantages but it also has its drawbacks. Let's just hope that in 2022 we will be in a much better place in many respects despite Covid-19. 

Medieval legends abound in literature. All a person needs is a bit of imagination and some time on his hands to weave one.  Could this turn into a legend? You decide. 

Who doesn't want to stop the hands of time? Even if it's just for a little bit. If you stop them too often, you may miss out on other moments. Life has to be lived fully in order to enjoy it. Both the good times and the not-so-good must be lived. 

Shakespeare has always covered a wide variety of themes. This play introduces a new one. It's a theme that makes a person wonder about the playwright's views on Jews.

Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" and her novel We Have Always Lived in the Castle have several elements in common. The hostility men can show towards others is just one. Fear is another. Both result in tragedy. The Blackwood family are subjected to both. 

The actions of all involved give us insight into the mind of some very disturbed people.

I did an impromptu survey to find out what some family members and students thought about a Viking warrior.
