What’s My Line … man?

I would have been about 11 when the show The Great Space Coaster was on TV. I don't remember much about it, but there were three things that come immediately to mind. First there was Gary Gnu, the news "gnu". I can still here him saying "No Gnews is good Gnews with Gary Gnu." I … Continue reading What’s My Line … man? →

Nice Lids!

I rarely post two blogs in one day, however, my last post made me think about something - hats. The reason for this is the first line of the song "On the Sunny Side of the Street" (Grab your coat and get your hat ....) I guess I have always appreciated a good hat. I … Continue reading Nice Lids! →

Sunny Side of the Street

"The Sunny Side of the Street" One of my favorite commercials on TV right now is the "Spring Into Action" commercial from Kohl's. There is something about the smile of the little girl as people "hop" by that tugs at the heart strings. It is a wonderful "feel good" commercial. If you haven't seen it … Continue reading Sunny Side of the Street →

Question For Fellow Bloggers

As a blogger, I am always excited to get a notification of a "New Follower." Recently, however, I have noticed that some of my older posts are being "liked" by people, but when I look in my stats, that post was never even visited - or read. How can this be? In some cases, some … Continue reading Question For Fellow Bloggers →

Doctor, Doctor! Give Me the News …

When I started to feel that awful pain in my back, I called the doctor and made an appointment. When I got there, they had these funky thermometers mounted on the walls at the check in windows. Basically, put your forehead close to it and it gets your temp. It was actually pretty cool. Once … Continue reading Doctor, Doctor! Give Me the News … →

A Busy (and Painful) Weekend

Saturday Saturday morning, I came home from work and went right to bed. Sam and I had plans to celebrate our anniversary this weekend. Originally, I was going to take her to an amazing Italian place in Troy (about and hour and 15 minutes from our house). After some discussion, we decided that since it … Continue reading A Busy (and Painful) Weekend →

Never Go To Bed Hungry?

In 1984, Clara Peller rose to stardom because of her appearance in a Wendy's commercial. Wendy's went after their competitors (McDonald's and Burger King) by focusing on the fact that their hamburger patties were hidden under the large bun, while Wendy's single patty was bigger than their bun. In the commercial, Clara is at a … Continue reading Never Go To Bed Hungry? →

I STILL Believe in Miracles!

In the past few months, I have had many new followers to this blog. For the benefit of them, here is a brief introduction to where this blog is going. Prior to 2017, my life was a shambles. I suffered from depression. I was unhappy. I was lost. I was not "me." Because of years … Continue reading I STILL Believe in Miracles! →

Maybe I’m Over Thinking This …

I don't want to get too deep into this. Personally, I think it is getting out of hand. I don't have it all figured out. However, I can speak to what I know is true for me. I watched Elmer Fudd ... I watched Yosimite Sam... ...and I have never had the desire to own … Continue reading Maybe I’m Over Thinking This … →

Happy Birthday, Henny!

The "King of the One Liners," Henny Youngman, was born today in 1906. He told pretty much the same jokes for 70 years, and they always got laughs! Here are some of my favorite Henny Youngman lines: Take my wife... Please!Why does the New Italian navy have glass bottom boats? To see the Old Italian … Continue reading Happy Birthday, Henny! →
