The Music of My Life – 1993

Welcome back to The Music of My Life, where I feature ten songs from each year of my life.  In most cases, the ten songs I choose will be ones I like personally (unless I explain otherwise). The songs will be selected from Billboard’s Year-end Hot 100 Chart, Acclaimed Music, and will all be released … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 1993 →

Tune Tuesday – The Curly Shuffle

On this day in 1903, Jerome “Curly” Howard was born. He was a man who made – and continues to make – millions of people laugh! He is considered by many, myself included, to be a comedic genius. He, of course, is remembered for his role as the “third stooge” in the Three Stooges comedy … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – The Curly Shuffle →

Movie Music Monday

Today we celebrate two birthdays that have a movie tie-in. Both appeared in one of the greatest films of the 1980's - The Blues Brothers. First, we remember the beautiful Carrie Fisher who was born on this day in 1956. While known for Star Wars and many other films, she appears as one of Jake … Continue reading Movie Music Monday →

Share Your Nostalgia

A few weeks ago, after some prodding from some blogger friends, I decided to experiment with a new feature. I was unsure if anyone would want to participate in another "Topic based" feature, so I asked around. The response was more than I had expected, so this is a trial run. In the days ahead, … Continue reading Share Your Nostalgia →

Lions Fever

There are "fans"... And there are fans.  I would say these two guys are true fans. Detroit Lions fans have waited a very long time to have a team and a coach that is worth cheering for.  Last year was just amazing, and this year promises to be just as good or better.

Friday Photo Flashback

The timing on this photo find is almost perfect. We're less than two weeks away from Halloween and I stumbled on this photo of my folks. This photo made me laugh out loud!

My Favorite Norm MacDonald Joke

The late Norm MacDonald would have been 65 years old today. When he passed away in 2021, the world learned that he had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma back in 2013. He only told his family, agent, and producing partner, fearing that revealing his condition to the public would "affect the way he was perceived". … Continue reading My Favorite Norm MacDonald Joke →
