I have been a father for almost 20 years now. It is a role that I do not take lightly. I have spent most of that time raising two amazing sons. Almost two years ago, I became a "Girl Dad" when my daughter was born. Raising a daughter is VERY different from raising sons. For … Continue reading National Daughters Day 2021
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.

Has it really been 40 years?!
The man in the picture above is my grandpa. He was my mom's dad. In February of 2018, I blogged about him in the following blog on his birthday: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2018/02/17/i-only-got-11-years/ As I was going through my Facebook memories, I realized that it was 40 years ago today that he passed away. It was the first … Continue reading Has it really been 40 years?!
Darkness and a Laugh
Normally, I sleep until about 4 or 4:30 in the afternoon on work days. I was pretty exhausted when I got home this morning, so I was looking forward to a good sleep. That didn't happen. I have sleep apnea. I sleep with a CPAP machine. With it on, my apnea issues are resolved and … Continue reading Darkness and a Laugh
Weekend Review
A lot of people complain about Mondays, but I really don't because my "week" starts on Tuesday. It is usually the day that I sit back and reflect on the happenings of the weekend. "Golf" With My Son I came home from work on Saturday morning and slept for a couple hours before going to … Continue reading Weekend Review

Insurance Rant
Look, I understand, we all need insurance. Right? It is supposed to be there for us when we need it. But let's face it, insurance is one of the biggest money making scams out there. You pay and pay and pay, and when you do need it, you end up jumping through hoop after hoop … Continue reading Insurance Rant
Sooner Than Later?

Sam has really had a rough time the last few weeks, and as we enter the final month her discomfort … Continue reading Sooner Than Later?

Thank God For Spam Blocker
I'm so grateful that my cell service provider has a spam blocker. I used to get one or two a week, usually addressing me as "Edna." Now, I get an average of 10 a day, most of which are caught by the spam blocker and gets sent to the spam folder. The text messages range … Continue reading Thank God For Spam Blocker
