A Walk in the Woods may not be deserving of high praise, but it's a harmless tale of reconnecting. This is a film that would attract an audience over the age of 50, but I myself found it quite enjoyable. Sure, it received a shocking box office return, raking in almost $30,000,000.00, but the word of mouth never spread.

It is possible the Justice Department is becoming increasingly confident in its ability to win complex Jan. Followers of two extremist groups have now been convicted of seditious conspiracy: Oath Keepers in March, and yesterday, Proud Boys. But more than 400 have faced prosecution for higher-level crimes, and at least 237 have been sentenced to prison.Second, Thursday’s conviction hints at prosecutions that may come. As of April, law enforcement had arrested 1,020 people for participating in the Capitol assault. Most of those brought to trial have faced only minor charges.

The juror told Vice News that it was the Proud Boys’ own texts and messages that convinced the jury the men had engaged in seditious conspiracy – an effort to “overthrow, put down, or destroy by force” the U.S. and the fact they wanted to do so much in secret.”That’s what a juror said following Thursday’s conviction of four members of the Proud Boys far-right extremist group for plotting to attack the U.S. I hope you are all as well as you can be.

Like every industry in the world, publishing has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic- printer shortages, changing work environments, distribution delays, and more. Over the years since, I have not seen another production of this play. As an ensemble member and understudy, I learned a great deal from the experienced actors with whom I worked.

My study at the time had been carved out of our rickety, uninsulated, un-airconditioned garage, and writing out there in 37-degree heat while enormously pregnant was excruciating physical work. I was in a strange liminal space between the spring publication of my first novel, The Monsters of Templeton, and the birth of my first son at the end of August.
