Recommended Movie
The Courier
My wife, Melissa, and I hunkered down on this past snowy weekend and went nowhere. Lots of reading in front of the fire. A few great movies. My favorite this weekend: The Courier, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
It’s a spy-thriller, based on the true story of British businessman Greville Wynne.

This happens in 1961 in the months leading up to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
