The Dressmaker, by Albert W. Vogt III
With the imminent release of The Devil Wears Prada 2, I thought I would be fitting to finally give in and watch a film on Amazon Prime that I have been avoiding: The Dressmaker (2015). My reason for avoiding it is mainly because of Kate Winslet, who plays Myrtle “Tilly” Dunnage, the title clothing designer. …
Far and Away, by Albert W. Vogt III
A few years ago, I went through an Irish phase. I should be more specific. I subscribed to a few YouTube channels dedicated to Ireland’s influencers giving their opinions on topics. It had been the culmination of taking a few history courses focusing on the Emerald Isle, as well as listening to their music while…
Brian and Charles, by Albert W. Vogt III
Genesis 2:18 reads, “The LORD God said: It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suited to him.” A few verses later, God creates Eve from one of Adam’s bones since none of the other creatures He had created were suitable as a partner for this first man. There…

Apex, by Albert W. Vogt III
There is a cardinal rule about doing almost anything in the wilderness: never go it alone. This is true for nearly any outdoor activity, from climbing the highest mountains to a simple hike through the countryside. I also like this advice as a Catholic since, as followers of Jesus, we always have a companion. Plenty…
