Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. Leonardo da Vinci It’s no secret that I put a lot of stake in storytelling. It’s kind of my schtick, after all. Be it film, television, novels, gaming – hell, even politics – I find storytelling …

Henry Winkler Given the start of this week was washed out by Hurricane Beryl, I figured the most obvious topic for today’s article would turn out to be about that.
