'Land of the Lost' was a live action program on Saturdays that took a family of explorers to the era of dinosaurs. There was the father Rick Porter and his son and daughter Will and Holly. There were plenty of adventures in this land, but they had to be careful of the Slestack a group of walking and hissing lizards that were usually green except for one named Inca or something like that who helped the Porter family. There were pylons all over the place where they could enter and go to other times. Once again there were lessons for viewers to learn and in this one science was a good subject.

Gunsmoke
"Bang" 'Gunsmoke' starring James Arness as Marshall Matt Dillion. This was a television western cowboy show where the good guys won and the bad guys lost. There was Miss Kitty, Festus, Doc, Newly and before them Quint and Chester as deputies. 'Gunsmoke' was a drama but also had a lot of comedy thanks to Festus at times. There were plenty of lessons one could learn as well.

The truth behind culture of game show obsession
Culture can be defined as all the ways of life including arts, beliefs and institutions of a population that are passed down from generation to generation. Culture has been called "the way of life for an entire society." As such, it includes codes of manners, dress, language, religion, rituals, art. norms of behavior, such as law and morality, and systems of belief.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.

I called my children to me on Saturday mornings and said, "Come on. Land of the Lost is on, let's watch it." I guess they liked it, they watched it but it was ME who really wanted to see if every week!
Oooo, Inca sounds sweet for a Slestack!
