Are You a Queen Gorgo?

Last night I watched the movie 300, which was about the 300 Spartans that took a stand against the entire Persian army and at first successfully held them. I’d heard many good things about it. I was warned the historical accuracy was questionable, but the special effects rocked. I was curious to see it, not because of the nearly-naked very buff men that dominate it, but because I’ve ended up liking the other Frank Miller movies I’ve seen.

One reader commented that it did sound like Wayne loved me greatly, but she also wanted to know what I do for him. What a great question! And sort of a timely one, because Wayne and I were just discussing that very thing this past weekend. Ever since he’s … Continue reading →
