Guest Movie Review: Ant-Man and the Wasp
The Captain is currently on vacation and missed a fun screening of the new film Ant-Man and the Wasp. However, his movie partner in crime, The Dead Turkey himself, Jason ElRite, previewed the movie and provided the following spoiler free review for you below (Thanks, Jason!). Enjoy!

The Strength of Summer
The Strength of Summer Why are summers important? School years are long, arduous, and challenging. Yes, I am aware that “teachers get the summers off”, however, what most people don’t realize is that teachers work at least a summer’s worth extra during the course of a school year. And don’t get me wrong, though it…
An Incredible Return
Last night I witnessed an Incredible return. I was treated to a sneak preview of the new Incredibles 2 movie. I was not disappointed. The original graced the screen 14 years ago – before the Captain was even a father. I remember borrowing a friend’s 5 year old so that I could go see it…
Better Parenting through Literature: Immortality
You see I told the students that William Shakespeare (assuming you do not believe that he plagiarized his many works) discovered something fascinating. They didn’t believe me. So I leaned in close like I was telling a secret and I repeated the declaration.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if parents had to take a standardized test?

A New Beginning
It is a pleasure to partner with Clorox. I have been compensated for this post, but my thoughts and words are my own. All product and study claims should be confirmed with the brand. Read on for “A New Beginning”. I had the opportunity to see the results of new research about the effects of…
Hauling People, Furniture, and Fun
We didn’t travel over, under, or through the woods. We didn’t go to grandma’s house – though we did take one grandma with us and met another one in Ohio. And there were no horses, but there was horse power courtesy of the Toyota RAV4. Our holiday season began on a high note. During the…
