"Christmas in Connecticut" and "Eve's Christmas" reviewed

Two new reviews of Christmas movies have been uploaded to my podcast.

In the first show I review the original and the revised versions of "Christmas in Connecticut."

Today I uploaded a review of a 2004 Christmas movie titled "Eve's Christmas" starring Elisa Donovan and Cheryl Ladd.

Hope you enjoy. Each review runs about 10 minutes.

Podcast updates

I posted two new episodes to my podcast this weekend.

The first was a conversation with John Grimes who celebrated 70 years of marriage to his wife, Lil, on Oct. 25. Lil has Alzheimer's and lives in a Crawfordsville nursing home but she enjoys listening to John play his harmonica for her. On this podcast he plays a sample for us.

The second episode is abut 20 minutes of Harvey Keller's 1999 Halloween morning show on WCVL-WIMC, Crawfordsville, Ind.

I hope you will enjoy both episodes.

My novel, "Living In Victory" has been published and is available on www.lulu.com. By the first of the year I hope it will be available on www.amazon.com. You can read a free sample of the story, purchase a paperback copy or purchase a download of the book in Adobe PDF format at www.lulu.com.

To hear my podcast, go to: http://frankphillips.mypodcast.com or subscribe free on iTunes. It is "Being Frank: Letters from Indiana."

Weather brings early trick -- no treat in sight

By FRANK PHILLIPS

The weather was all trick and no treat on Wednesday, almost three weeks before Halloween.
The National Weather Service issued a Freeze Watch effective Thursday night through Friday morning, but the freeze came early.
At 5:30 this morning, the temperature had dipped to 29 degrees at Northview High School, according to Weather Bug, and the thermometer on Riddell National Bank downtown was at 28 degrees at 6 a.m.
The lesson for gardeners was, if you waited until the last day to cover your plants, you waited one day too long.
The National Weather Service did issue a Freeze Warning, effective from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. Friday, still a little late for people who went to bed before they heard the weather forecast Wednesday night.
The weather service warning stated:
“ARCTIC AIR WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO INDIANA TODAY AND TONIGHT. SKIES WILL BECOME MOSTLY CLEAR TONIGHT WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING. TEMPERATURES WILL DECREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT TO FREEZING OR A LITTLE BELOW. THEY SHOULD INCREASE ABOVE FREEZING AFTER 9AM ON FRIDAY.
“A FREEZE WARNING MEANS SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE IMMINENT OR HIGHLY LIKELY. THESE CONDITIONS WILL KILL CROPS AND OTHER SENSITIVE VEGETATION.”
The warning is in effect for most of central Indiana.
The good news is that temperatures are expected to warm up to near 70 degrees by Tuesday and should reach the lower 50s today, according to The Weather Channel.
