This is the 600th Blog Nostalgic Italian post! In celebration of this, I wanted to share a joke that made me laugh out loud. It comes from one of the blogs that I follow on Word Press - The Joke Thief.

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.

Remembering Uncle Tom
Today would have been my Godfather's birthday. I really miss him a lot. I found some pictures on a hard drive which brought a smile to my face today and I wanted to share. Uncle Tom and a 1 month old me... I'm a little bit older here. I wish the photo had the date … Continue reading Remembering Uncle Tom
Should I Be Proud or Just Chuckle?
This is one of those quickie blogs I wanted to share so I would always remember it. While at work one night last week, I received the following text message from Sam: It's silly little things like this that I will forever look back on and laugh out loud! Oh well, I picked up a … Continue reading Should I Be Proud or Just Chuckle?
I’ll Skip This One …
June will mark 34 years since I graduated from high school. My class has never had an "official" reunion. I'm not really sure why that is. It doesn't really matter. The only time our class had some sort of get together was a combined event with the class after us. They held it at a … Continue reading I’ll Skip This One …
Another Weekend Wrap Up
On Friday, my son told me that he wasn't coming over for the weekend. Sam and I decided that we'd take Ella somewhere to burn off some energy (Andrew came along for the ride). When I got home from work Saturday morning, I stayed up and we all went to the Mid-Michigan Children's Museum in … Continue reading Another Weekend Wrap Up
How Do You Introduce Someone to the Fab Four?
This blog is part of Turntable Talk, a feature created by Dave at A Sound Day. Since I started this blog four years ago, I have wanted to write a blog about The Beatles. Outside of a few "mentions" and a couple guest blogs from my buddy Max, I have just never tackled a Beatle … Continue reading How Do You Introduce Someone to the Fab Four?
Today in 1964
Back in 1964, something amazing happened on the Billboard chart! The Beatles held the top 5 spots! This is something that has never happened before or since! My friend Ken also pointed out: they also had seven other songs in the top 100 for a total of 12 tunes! That same week, The Beatles also … Continue reading Today in 1964
Foolish Talk
Illustration Celebrating April Fools' Day In honor of April Fool's Day, here are some "foolish" quotes: “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”― Soren Kierkegaard “The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.”― Winston … Continue reading Foolish Talk
Weekend Wrap Up
What a crazy weekend! As much as I hate not getting a lot of sleep, I have to admit that some of the funniest stories I write about are due to lack of sleep. Take Saturday for example: We needed groceries and a few things, so Sam went to the store. On her way home, … Continue reading Weekend Wrap Up
Funny Photo Memory
Due to my lack of creativity this week, I have turned to a daily writing prompt to spark a blog idea. The prompt that struck me was this: Find a picture that brings back a funny memory just by looking at it. Tell us about it. I have no shortage of pictures I can chose … Continue reading Funny Photo Memory
