Sorry about your wife. When did she pass into heaven?

This may seem unappreciative of great literature BUT I loved the British series which just ended: “Beowulf: Return to the Shieldlands”.

Best TV I’ve seen in a long time!

I just watched the trailer: https://vimeo.com/141712648

Black men in very early medieval Scandinavia? Really?

Sept 18, 2015. I’ve yet to see an adaptation of Beowulf that compares to the original. Like any story, I think it loses something in translation from our imagination.
