Upon returning home, I went on an archaeological dig through my books and it’s now sitting on my desk. That got a laugh, and I have to admit, that book was on my shelf the entire time I was growing up, but I’ve never actually read it. It screened for the Traverse City Film Festivalfounders, and prior to the movie, Michael Moore noted that the audience was probably familiar with the story because we’d no doubt read the book … “if you’re old…” I had the opportunity and great privilege to see “Kon-Tiki” at the State Theatre today. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments The strange the dreamer![]() ![]() Lazlo helps an alchemist named Thyon Nero create gold.
