Book Recommendation – The Prophet and the Idiot
It had been awhile since I had read a Jonas Jonasson book. The Prophet and the Idiot has been on my "to read" list for some time. It has probably been on my list since I read The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. As soon as I started reading … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Prophet and the Idiot
Friday Photo Flashback
It's been a pretty cold and miserable winter here in the mitten. When I went looking for a Flashback photo, I found one that brings back memories of a warm Ohio day. My folks took us down to King's Island one summer. If I had to guess I would imagine this was 1975 or 1976. … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Nostalgia Never “Felt” So Good
I will be honest with you. I had no intentions of watching the new Muppet Show that aired on Disney. The reason for this was because I remember that terrible mockumentary style show that ABC aired in 2015. That was just painful to watch and many (including myself) were disappointed in how the characters were … Continue reading Nostalgia Never “Felt” So Good

They listened to blues stuff from Jimmy Reed, Motown, and plenty of R&B artists. Back in the day, local artists actually got airplay … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Village of Love
Movie Music Monday – Animal House
I have a handful of movies that will always make me laugh. Animal House is one of them. I don't know of anyone who doesn't think of Animal House when they think of college fraternities. Granted, when I was in college, everyone was pretty subdued compared to the folks of Delta House. The movie features … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Animal House
Daddy Daughter Date Night
Last night, my daughter went to the Daddy Daughter Dance. She’s been excited since she heard about it. She was even more excited when she heard the theme was “Wicked.” My wife got her dressed up and even put on a splash of perfume. She was super excited to show me her dress. She looked … Continue reading Daddy Daughter Date Night
Book Recommendation – The Show Won’t Go On
This is one of those books that I found fascinating. It is written by Jeff Abraham, who I follow I Facebook. He has a lot of interesting Hollywood stories and an amazing vinyl record collection. The Show Won't Go On, as morbid as it might seem, was very interesting. Before I tell you my thoughts, … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Show Won’t Go On
