Ron Moore Has a New Series Commitment for OUTLANDER

ronmooreoutlandertogetherStarz has given a 16 episode go-ahead to what Hollywood Reporter calls “Ronald D. Moore’s OUTLANDER TV series.

Whatever the reason, occasion or person, I thought I’d ponder a few gift suggestions for the awkwardly stuck.It’s so very easy to run into a stone wall when trying to think of what’s right in front of you, so I’ll spell it out; even break it out into categories – sort of. All you need is a bit of time, some thoughtfulness and some money (whether a little or a lot and in a couple of cases no cash at all).
