Despite all of the excitement around ‘The Avengers’–which Brad says is really good–you are certain to see “Happy Star Wars Day” on your Facebook or Twitter feeds today. Is today the anniversary of ‘Star Wars’? Continue reading “May the 4th Be With You – Terry Explains Star Wars Day”
It seems like everyone has at least one Gmail account now. Back when they were brand new, over eight years ago now, you couldn’t simply walk in and make an account. Back then they were invite only. You had to know someone with invites to get in.
Now anyone, and even some pets, have Gmail accounts. And with Gmail offering more free space than most cloud-based storage services, why not? But what happens when you run out of space? Continue reading “Running Out Of Space In Gmail? ‘Find Big Mail’ Will Solve Your Problem”
As part of their 100th Anniversary celebration, Universal Pictures has fully restored the original summer blockbuster movie ‘Jaws’ and is releasing it in high definition on BluRay this August. Easily one of my favorite movies of all time, Spielberg’s 1975 masterpiece created the concept of a summer popcorn smash, and until ‘Star Wars’ came out four years later, had all the box office records to prove it.
Think about all the great moments: Chrissy’s demise on the beach, Chief Brody’s arguments with the mayor, Quint’s speech about the USS Indianapolis, and that that last great confrontation with the shark aboard the Orca.

Last week I leaned over to pick up one of my son’s toys off the floor and I felt something “pop” in my calf muscle that was immediately followed by the sensation of water running down my leg, and then searing, blinding pain.
Assuming that I had just pulled a muscle, I did my best to hobble around and aside from a few aches and pains, my leg started feeling better.
Until this morning when I tore all the muscles around my calf.
I wish I could say I was doing something awesome like playing some sort of sport, or rescuing children from a burning building, but I was just dropping off Jack at Grandma’s house for the day.
I opened the back door to my Chevy HHR and reached in to get Jack’s bag. I saw that his drink had fallen on the floor in front of his car seat so I leaned over to get it. Bad move. Whatever injury I started in my calf last week, I finished today. I felt three immediate pops in my calf, and something slide down toward my ankle. I almost dropped to the driveway in a sobbing heap.
Once I finally made it to the Emergency Room–after going in to work and finishing my show (the show must go on!)–my doctor explained that I had torn the muscles last week, and this morning I shredded them. The main calf muscle and the Achilles are intact though, which means I probably won’t require surgery to repair the damage.
I’m gonna level with you, this hurts. It hurts a lot. Really a lot. I’m hobbling around in a boot to immobilize my ankle with orders to rest as much as possible. I have to make an appointment with an orthopedist for next week to see what kind of therapy to expect and how long my recovery will take.
I’ll keep you guys posted. In the meantime, I need to be fitted for my bubble.
As I headed home last night, I turned on to Highway 30 and started toward Buhl. Immediately I could see huge plumes of smoke that appeared to be coming from somewhere right outside of Twin, but as drove I found the smoke was actually emanating from Filer.
Several fields were on fire almost directly across from Filer High School, and smoke was choking the city of Filer. Continue reading “Why Do Farmers Still Burn Their Fields?”
