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.

Moo! Baa! Shut Up!
Every once in a while, I just have to share a story in my blog so that I can go back and read it later and laugh. Ella LOVES to sing. She has quite the catalog of songs that she knows. It is not rare for her to lay down for bed at naptime or … Continue reading Moo! Baa! Shut Up!

A Brief Soapbox Rant
"Beyoncé has made GRAMMY history. Her win for Best Dance/Electronic Album for 'RENAISSANCE' put her GRAMMY total at 32, the most of all time. After winning the award for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album, Beyoncé now holds the all-time record for most GRAMMY wins." I didn't watch the Grammy Awards. As a matter of fact, ever since I got … Continue reading A Brief Soapbox Rant

A Fun Family Night
Because of work schedules, it is not often that I get a night with the family. I swapped nights with a coworker because I had hoped to go to a daddy daughter dance with Ella. Tickets went fast and I was put on a wait list for that, and it never panned out. However, the … Continue reading A Fun Family Night
The Game Is Afoot
Today I finished The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz. It was the Sherlock Holmes novel approved by the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I really enjoyed it. To me, it read much like one of Doyle's Holmes stories. I would imagine that there has to be a bit of pressure for any author … Continue reading The Game Is Afoot
Nostalgic Mexican?

When I came in tonight, they had me stop in the middle of the tech room, one of them played some Mexican music on her phone while another put a tiny pink sombrero on my … Continue reading Nostalgic Mexican?
No Excuses Now, Mister Fix It
You may recall that last summer, my father-in-law and I tackled a plumbing issue at our house. That incident required us cutting up the drywall to access pipes. The results were not pretty. The above picture was taken during the project. We were able to get pipes fixed and the hole has remained in the … Continue reading No Excuses Now, Mister Fix It
