Let me start by saying that I would never EVER question God about His creations. He "created all creatures great and small" (according to the Cecil Frances Alexander poem). That being said, I often wonder just what the purpose of mosquitoes are, and hate when I get mosquito bites. I'm not too fond of all … Continue reading You Know What “Bugs” Me??
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.

Getting Rid of the Cable Guy?
I didn't watch the Super Bowl this year. I didn't even look online for a link to all the Super Bowl ads. I had read that Jim Carrey was going to reprise his role as The Cable Guy for a Verizon ad, and only recently watched it. It wasn't until a week or so ago … Continue reading Getting Rid of the Cable Guy?
“Old McDonald’s”
Our baby girl can really make us laugh. For dinner tonight, the plan was to make chicken nuggets and French fries in the oven. I was in the front room and I hear the following conversation between Ella and Sam: Sam: We're going to have chicken nuggets for dinner, tonight. Ella: Old MacDonald's? (Ella will … Continue reading “Old McDonald’s”
TV Show Draft – Pick #2 – Mission: Impossible
This was not my original choice for my next pick in the TV show draft. Yes, it was on my list of shows, but I had planned on writing about it later in the draft. I decided to move it up the list because after binge watching some episodes as I recovered from my surgery, … Continue reading TV Show Draft – Pick #2 – Mission: Impossible

Another Weekend Recap
Some sort of bug hit our place last week. Poor Ella woke up with a very deep cough. Friday was the worst of it. She had the cough, a runny nose, and puffy eyes. Thankfully, she did not have a fever. After a visit to the doc, she said she had the croup. She was … Continue reading Another Weekend Recap
Are You Hip To That Jive?
Slang: a type of language that consists of words and phrases that are regarded as very informal, are more common in speech than writing, and are typically restricted to a particular context or group of people. I have always loved watching old movies and listening to old radio shows. I have always chuckled at some … Continue reading Are You Hip To That Jive?
Happy National Chili Day!
I LOVE chili! When I first moved to the Flint area from the Detroit area I remember going to a coney place and they asked if I wanted my coney dogs "Detroit or Flint" style. Who knew they were different? Not me. It's not that I dislike Flint style, but to me it isn't quite … Continue reading Happy National Chili Day!
