I mentioned this book a few days ago, and I finally finished it. I really enjoyed this one. It was such a unique mystery. I may have posted the Goodreads synopsis, but here it is again: Evelyn Hardcastle will be murdered at 11:00 p.m. There are eight days, and eight witnesses for you to inhabit. … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
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.

We finally have a diagnosis for my son. With it, all the pieces began to fit together. Friday, we took him down to the PMR (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) doctor. They deal with neurological and musculoskeletal issues. As he went over medical history with us, he watched Andrew as he walked around the room and … Continue reading Now It All Comes Together
My Anxiety Needed a Paint Shirt
Maybe you share this memory. At the beginning of my first 4 years of school, my dad would send me to school with an old shirt of his. It was usually an old dress shirt, but I want to say that one year it was an old T-shirt. This shirt became my "paint shirt" for … Continue reading My Anxiety Needed a Paint Shirt
Don’t Fence Me In
Ok, the picture is misleading. This post has nothing to do with the Roy Rogers movie. I should also say that it has nothing to do with the hit song by Bing Crosby. It's just a fitting title for the backyard project. As I mentioned in a previous blog, my father-in-law and I needed to … Continue reading Don’t Fence Me In
A Swift Laugh
This was too funny NOT to share. One of the video games that gamers look forward to every year is the new Madden NFL game. Every year, there is a different player that graces the cover of the game. To many, this is truly a place of honor. It's sort of a "You know you've … Continue reading A Swift Laugh
Monday Mish Mash
I suppose I could take each one of the following items and make them into a separate blog, but I decided to put them all in one. Short blurbs, of course. Daily Dad One of the hardest jobs I have ever been handed is that of being "dad." I cannot remember who suggested this book, … Continue reading Monday Mish Mash

The topic for this round came from his post on the Bobby McFerrin song, "Don't Worry, Be Happy!" Dave says, "the topic for us at … Continue reading Turntable Talk #19 – A Design For Life
The Mail Lady Who Saved Christmas!
True Story! I have to thank the mail lady at our local post office who literally saved Christmas today! Let me explain. Sam took advantage of the Amazon deals and finished up the Christmas shopping this week. One of the things she ordered was a big Barbie Townhouse thing for Ella. She kept asking for … Continue reading The Mail Lady Who Saved Christmas!
Two-riffic Day!
I had the day off yesterday for my son's birthday. It was such a great day with the family. He is all about tools and the construction vehicles that have been outside, so that was the "theme" for his birthday. My dad sent him a tool box earlier this week. It had some cool tools … Continue reading Two-riffic Day!
“Two” Fast!
I can't even believe that my son Andrew is two years old today! As the title of this blog indicates, it has gone by TWO fast! Oh the things that this boy has been through! I think he has had more medical tests than I have at this point. Through it all, he has been … Continue reading “Two” Fast!
