I want to thank Vern for nominating me among his ten for the Mystery Blogger Award.
Anyway, I hope to stay connected with Vern for a long time. I have invited him to appear on the Damien Riley Podcast and he accepted so I just need to get that all sorted out and get him on as soon as possible. Stay tuned, it should be another awesome time. We’ll see what film from the past we can dig up and talk about, other than poor Howard lol.
The rules of the tag/award are:
- Put the award logo/image on your blog

Ok, so I’ve been asked to tell my readers 3 things about myself. Here goes:


- Audrey
- Kira
- Zoë
- Darren
- Jason
- Todd
- Janet
- Julie
- Nikki
- Tom
I’ll notify these bloggers by comments on their blogs.
Now for the 5 questions I’m asking these good-hearted and talented bloggers.
- Did you ever give a film a score higher than it deserved because you knew your readers and/or the critics as a whole loved it? In other words, you didn’t want to look stupid.
- How do you dive in to doing a review online? What’s your routine or do you have one?
- Have you ever watched a movie on your phone?
- (silly one) If you are single, or even if you aren’t, what is your dating age range. ie; when I met my wife I would go no more than ten years older and six years younger. I had to break my rule to date her.
- Best suspense film?
Then they say to close with a good post of mine. Here’s one I’m proud of from my podcast. at 5 some odd minutes, it’s the longest on my podcast yet. I aim to keep them short.:
The Damien Riley Podcast #19 – Freedom and Activism in ‘Anthropoid’ & ‘The Grapes of Wrath’
Thanks for those kinds words and yes, I would love to join you on your podcast. At first I though it said you met your wife in 22, and I thought. He’s a time traveler. That’s awesome.
Hi Vern! That was supposed to read 2002. My life sort of blasted off that year meeting Sarah and getting a teaching job in the high desert. I can’t seem to escape typos. Thanks for nominating me bro.
