Roman Catholic Revulsion
Read MoreI was raised in the Roman Catholic Church.
To this day, most of my family are practicing Catholics. I attended Catholic School (Holy Trinity in the Oak Lawn section of Dallas) — the same school run by the priest who gave President Kennedy last rights.

Comments: Despite the hype, this is my least favorite week of the NFL season. Betting is reduced to a single game. Give me any week of the regular season when there are a dozen or so games to chose from and a multitude of options. That said, the Super Bowl does provide some interesting opportunities for proposition bettors. That’s where the real money is to be made. I have four recommendations for this game.
Movie Review: Quartet
Read MoreIt took only 75 years for Dustin Hoffman to direct his first movie.
That he chose a film project way outside of Hollywood comprised of an entirely foreign cast (for an American actor and director) comes as a further surprise.
