Sweet! Score one for #61! :cool: I'm still thinking about Aravis in #64. (If anybody else knows, please feel free to steal my thunder!) Meanwhile, let us remember to look at #66: #66. (medium) (a) not shutting oneself in a wardrobe (b) the cleaning of a sword (c) the spelling of abhominable...

A couple of days ago, I started an anti-inflammatory diet. How fortunate I am to have access to a wide variety of nourishing foods, herbs and spices. I am finding this diet helpful. I actually have a sinus infection right now, presumably from allergens. I am also rather woozy and fatigued at...

"Duke of Galma" popped into my mind. I love how I still know right where to look, when something very Narnian does finally pop into mind. On Board the Dawn Treader, Drinian recounts the tournament at Galma, one of the closer islands visited before the Pevensies joined the ship. The duke wanted...

Astronomy has always fascinated me, so last year I purchased a telescope. I started reading about interesting planet sightings and busted out the binoculars. I quickly became hungry for more. I eventually bought a $30 telescope online, that took me forever just to find a bright object in. It was...

Dukes and Duchesses! (does that not sound like something Trumpkin might say?!) In #61 (d) Lord Bern was made Duke of the Lone Islands. Choice (a) could then refer to the unnamed duchess (the other remaining mortal with fairy blood was simply a charwoman, which I just learned is an English word...

I've been really nostalgic for this community lately. You all are so much fun and encouraging. This thread of yours is one of my favorites, Peeps. I'm really glad how you've kept it going over the years. It looks like there are several puzzles still needing solved, so I'll have a go at a couple...

Three of the five of us got together again to see The Chosen Season 4, this time Episodes 4-6 last Saturday (logistically the other two guys needed to go at other times). Four of us are going together again this Saturday, as the final two episodes are now playing. Here's a recap of how well the...

Okay, now I see MrBob, and thank you for acknowledging my post. Yeah...I think we do see some things different. I know for one thing that what I want is for as many little details that are in the book to be included onscreen. Now, sure, that could take different forms. I DEFINITELY think that...

MrBob, that's exactly how I "picture" the picture in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader! It sounds like we visualize the same thing we read the text. I would like to see at least a few shots of most of the picture frame, not showing them shrinking, but showing them a gradually smaller and more...

I am in a The Silver Chair frame of mind right now, so I've begun re-reading it, and am just barely in the second chapter. There is so much to work with with The Silver Chair for an opening sequence, and there are so many ways they could go about this. Here are some of my ideas. They could...

I went to the theater with four friends Saturday, to see the first of three parts of Season 4 of The Chosen (Season 4 Episodes 1,2 and 3 combined into one showing with one intermission). I was disappointed how few people were there (about a third of the seats were filled). It was a 3pm Saturday...

A few years ago, a priest friend of mine introduced me to "The Angel Gabriel." While it does have a distinctly Advent feel, because of the fourth verse it also continues well as a Christmas song. To date this is my favorite version. The stage and lighting transport me to Bethlehem, and the...

It's weird to me that I don't necessarily have a favorite, although there's some I'll watch every few years like "Home Alone." This year my mom, a friend and I watched "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year," a 2008 Hallmark that was light on the romance and heavy on the humor. My friend who...

I like your ideas and predictions. I guess ideally I'd like to see the adaptations in publishing or chronological order, although I don't have any qualms on some tweaking on that. In fact, when I read the books the first time through, it wasn't in either order. As I wasn't much of a reader...

That comparison of Adamson's Peter to Shrek is on point. It's sad but true. I don't see the line in and of itself as racist. Some people have lighter skin, some have darker skin. If a viewer were to take issue with it, isn't that a reflection of their own outlook? I agree that lines like this...

I'd really enjoy seeing the dialogue in future adaptations match as closely as possible to the books. I hold these stories in such high esteem. I don't wish to see them become typical blockbusters geared toward the next, next generation. I'd rather all sorts of planning and funding be put into...

Copperfox, when I was going to a community college in my 20s, those of us pursuing an associate degree had to take a 1 credit hour 'capstone class.' Its alleged purpose was for students to demonstrate a proficient ability to write. There were a wide range of subjects offered, so that we could...

This summer I reread the Cosmic Trilogy. Of the names it has been given, that has become my favorite, followed by the Ransom Trilogy, and then the Space Trilogy. They are all good names. In some ways, Out of the Silent Planet is my favorite of the three. I love the way the whole mystery and...

I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it Benisse! How was it?! Did you go to the writers track or the readers track? How were the discussions? I would have loved the opportunity to have met you and participate in the conference. I'm not sure I would have registered on time or if they were going to...

Here are some pictures from Camp Allen. The deer came within 10 feet of us. https://photos.app.goo.gl/e8kaqNiVkr43s164A
