The other day I was at work. My wife had texted me something while I was working with a patient. When I came back to the tech room and saw it I responded. "Sorry, I just now saw this. Was with a patient." The text that followed threw me ... We call Andrew "Bubby." and … Continue reading Mischievous Message
Author: nostalgicitalian
I'm just a guy who likes the classics. I love Old Time Radio Shows. I love Classic TV. I love Classic Movies. I love songs from the "Great American Songbook". I dig songs from the first decade of Rock and Roll. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to newer things. My musical taste ranges from Classical to Classic Rock and Country to Rap. I love a good book and am always looking for something to read. I tend to lean toward historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, and more.
I have always believed that our past (and the things we've experienced in it) make us who we are today. That being said, after reading through some old My Space blogs (yeah, that's about how long it's been since I blogged regularly), I decided that I should once again write. Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting, thought provoking, and entertaining in some way.

Like Father – Like Son
This phrase is so true for me. It is true is a couple ways actually. You can find many blogs I have written about the similarities between my father and I. He is my biggest influence in music, books, movies, and TV shows. When someone tells me that I am just like my dad, I … Continue reading Like Father – Like Son
Book Recommendation – Killers of Certain Age
I was pleasantly surprised while reading this book. Admittedly, I was drawn in by the title. I looked it up on Goodreads and after reading about it, decided to give it a shot. Here was their synopisis: Older women often feel invisible, but sometimes that's their secret weapon. They've spent their lives as the deadliest … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Killers of Certain Age
Such a Cool Moment
The Detroit Tigers aren't having the best year, but it has been neat to see all the wonderful tributes to Miguel Cabrera from teams in both leagues as he plays his final year. It was great to see just how much other players and fans like him. This week the Astros were in town. The … Continue reading Such a Cool Moment
Book Recommendation: Anxious People
Before I begin, I need to thank Beth (www.ididnthavemyglasseson.com) for recommending this book. She read it awhile back and I added it to my "Want to Read/To Be Read" list. I'm only sorry it took so long to get to it. It was fantastic. This book has me laughing out loud from the second paragraph! … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Anxious People
Tomorrow is another day
Today was one of those days. I remind myself that tomorrow is another day. I can hope that it will be better. I will probably lose myself in a book until I fall asleep. I'm not looking for pity. I'm ok. I'm just in a valley. Time to climb back up ... tomorrow is another … Continue reading Tomorrow is another day
I Did It Myself!
If you have followed this blog, you know that the majority of the home projects I do are done with my father-in-law. He is always there to help me with things and I am so grateful for him. Recently, you may recall, we got a second hand playscape. We knew it would probably need a … Continue reading I Did It Myself!
Post Surgery Update
I apologize for not posting a dedicated blog to an update on my son. Many blogger friends have reached out and asked how he is doing after surgery a week or so ago. We are blessed that he didn't need to be in surgery very long. They had booked the operating room for 4 hours, … Continue reading Post Surgery Update
Wednesday Reading
Every Vow You Break is the third Peter Swanson book I have read this year. So far he's 3 for 3. I have enjoyed each one of his books and will add his remaining 7 to my list of books to read. This one was a bit more of a suspense/thriller than the last two. … Continue reading Wednesday Reading
Closer to Answers?
This morning, I had a telemedicine visit to discuss whether or not I qualified for ADHD testing. You may recall a few months ago, there was some discussion with my PCP and my therapist about whether or not this is something I am dealing with. I blogged about it here: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2023/05/03/mayday-mayday-i-have-problems/ In the 45 minute … Continue reading Closer to Answers?
