What's Going On Here?

There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

Scary Trees

Everyone always talks about the evil trees in the Wizard of Oz.  Honestly?  I don't remember them at all! I, of course, have ambivalent feelings about Oz.  The way that Mr. Mayer treated Judy is something that I don't know if I will ever get over, however I realize she got her start in Oz.  Still, talent like Judy's would have come out eventually, with or without Oz
But right now I am focusing on a different scary forest.  Fear Forest, the aptly named haunt in Lordstown, OHJust like last year, Fear Forest was something to experience.  I enjoyed it very much and I would recommend it.  I found the house to be QUITE scary and I screamed a lot!  The only downside was the "meh" attitude of the non-actors.  But who knows how long they had been out there, and they probably had day jobs and were exhausted.
On this haunt a young couple brought their three year old son.  They were super nice folks and before anyone judges them about their decision to bring a three year old to a haunted house, I have to tell you that the kid was MUCH braver than I.  After it was over he said, "I want to go to another one."  He also knows the difference between reality and fantasy, as he explained why he wasn't afraid of a monstrous character by saying, "It's only a mask!"
