Spring is essentially here and the year is marching quickly toward summer. Can you feel it coming? Remember when summer was synonymous with freedom and exploration, and of course, the magic of the unknown. Does it have to remain a nostalgic rumination? Certainly not. This week’s selections seem to consist of a large serving of space adventures and a side of fantasy investigations. Of course, we have a great deal of shooting things in the mix, but that’s almost a given.
