I had to do something I've never had to do before - and I don't even know if it will stop the issue. Shut It Down - For Now... My Facebook page is my main social media account. I have an Instagram account, but I rarely post personal stuff on it. I use it mainly … Continue reading Temporary Fix?
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.

National Twilight Zone Day
My Facebook friend, Bill, shared that today is National Twilight Zone Day! He says, Twilight Zone Day is mysterious, weird, surreal and perhaps a little scary. I can think of many other adjectives, but I think you get the picture. Every once in a while, you have a day like this. And, May 11th is … Continue reading National Twilight Zone Day
Social Media Spring Cleaning
I was forced to do a bit of clean up to one of my social media accounts today. I am not really sure how I missed this one particular person when I went through the "followers" previously, but I did. This follower decided to make themselves known by commenting on a post I made. By … Continue reading Social Media Spring Cleaning
A Morning Spring Walk
I've been struggling with a few things lately. I decided to listen to my own advice and take a step back and look around and appreciate the little things. So this past week, I put Ella in her stroller and we took a 2 and a half mile walk around the neighborhood. She loves going … Continue reading A Morning Spring Walk
Ok, Ok, I’ll Write ….
I'm writing under protest. I still don't feel up to writing today. My last post was three days ago, and I wish I could say that I am past it. I'm not. I have nothing planned out, which is kind of a "no-no" when you are writing. I am only writing because I am forcing … Continue reading Ok, Ok, I’ll Write ….
Not in the Mood to Write
It's probably not a good idea to write when you are angry, so I won't. Maybe I will come back and elaborate in the future. For now, this will do .....
And the baby is a ….
I've been waiting for today for weeks! Because of Covid, my wife's OB/GYN is only allowing the patient in the office. With Ella, I was at every ultrasound. I looked forward to hearing the baby's heart beat each month. I loved that special togetherness that we felt when we were at the office. It has … Continue reading And the baby is a ….
National Humor Month Suggestion
April is National Humor Month and I only recently discovered that Sirius XM had added a comedy channel that I really have enjoyed. The Comedy Classics channel can be found for a limited time on Channel 104. Here is what Radio Insight quoted from the press release: This is not a prank: SiriusXM announced today … Continue reading National Humor Month Suggestion
I Wanna Be Like Bandit!
I realize that the title of this blog (and the picture above) may be misleading, because it is not about Burt Reynolds. In my defense, they say that having a good blog title will make people want to read it - and here you are! So just what is this blog about? A cartoon role … Continue reading I Wanna Be Like Bandit!
Never Miss A Chance … To Keep Your Mouth Shut!
I have never read The First Law series, which is a series of graphic novels by Joe Ambercrombie. However, I came across a quote from Jezal dan Luthar (a character from that trilogy) that sets the stage for this blog: "Just keep your mouth shut and smile. That's always good advice" A book that I have … Continue reading Never Miss A Chance … To Keep Your Mouth Shut!
