Covid Update

Hello readers. I wanted to check in. I am still recovering from Covid and the flu. I'm not going to lie, it's been an experience. At work, we screen folks for Covid everyday.

International Tuba Day

Today is a very important day that is celebrated world wide! I was going to have a staff writer not down a few notes on the subject, until I realized I don't have one. So to avoid any treble, I will write it myself. Annually, on the first Friday in May, the world celebrates International … Continue reading International Tuba Day →

TV Show Draft – Round 5 – 30 Rock

For this round of the TV Show Draft, I figured I would jump ahead a few years to prove that I watch shows that aired after 1980! There are very few shows that actually make me laugh out loud.
