Two Day Trip to Italy

One of the things I love about blogging is "meeting" other bloggers and reading what they are writing about. One of the blogs I follow is written by Beth (a fellow Michigander) who writes at "I didn't have my glasses on..." In a recent blog, she mentioned a book she was listening to that had … Continue reading Two Day Trip to Italy →

Broadcasting Live from the Library

I love the local library. Just recently I have checked out numerous books on tape to listen to on my drive into work. I have also checked out physical books to read as well.

This Little Piggy Likes to Rock and Roll

When Sam and I started dating, my wardrobe consisted of many "band" shirts. I had shirts from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, and many more.

"The Dean Martin Show" debuted on September 16, 1965. For most of its run, Dean's variety hour was a fixture on the NBC Thursday night lineup. Martin was initially reluctant to do the show, partially because he did not want to turn down movie and nightclub performances.

One Liner Wednesday

So I guess today is "One Liner Wednesday." Many of the blogs I follow were posting quotes today. I actually posted this quote on my Facebook this week and it is a quote that sums up the week for me.

Christmas in September

To say that the past few days have been stressful is an understatement. There have been some very good moments and I tried to just take them all in. However, something was on my mind all weekend.
