Sometimes a blog with thoughts and opinions by Dan Greene
We all know the original trilogy is coming out this September on DVD.. However, there is a problem. You have to buy each movie separately (at around $20 a piece). And each movie also comes with the 2004 special edition versions, which I already own.…
Added March 5, 2026: I cleaned up some dead links in the original post. I don’t know why I felt the need to write on this topic then, my guess is Republicans were being Republicans. Two decades later, the divide between Republicans and Democrats seems larger than ever.…
One of the few things I like about Missouri is St. Louis style pizza from Imo’s. It’s a thin crust pizza that may not be for everybody but Stephanie and I like it a lot. We were just discussing today that we’ll miss Imo’s when we leave Missouri.…

Added March 11, 2026: I was thinking about want I wanted to do again in 2009. As I posted in the update there, I ended up where I wanted to be, teaching at SIS as a Clinical Assistant Professor.…
