Very Few Understand ….

I had something happen today that I am sure will be turned around to make me look like a real jerk. What it really boils down to, however, is that no one really understands people like me. "People like me" = midnight shift workers. For some people "Nightshift" is a song (albeit a GREAT song) … Continue reading Very Few Understand …. →

Playing Doctor

When I was a kid, I remember having one of those Fisher Price Doctor kits. As a matter of fact, I think it remains a staple in every kid's toy box! I remember how cool it was that you could hear your heartbeat with the Stethoscope. Of course, you always had to give every one … Continue reading Playing Doctor →

Happy 50th Anniversary – Fred & Lamont!

50 years ago today, Sanford and Son premiered on TV. In honor of the anniversary, here are links to two "Sanford" related blogs I wrote some time ago.

The Omelette

Confession: I'm 51 and I love cartoons. I have blogged about the cartoon Bluey before, and yes, I am blogging about it again. The third season of Bluey is still unavailable for viewing in the United States.

It Still Ain’t Flat!

Remember when all it was going to take was two weeks to "flatten the curve?" A mere 14 days.... This is not meant to be political or start an argument or debate. It is just an observation that I wanted to write about. I don't want your political opinions and I don't want debates or … Continue reading It Still Ain’t Flat! →

In the past two weeks, I've almost been injured seriously twice - one time with the baby in my arms. In all honesty, both instances were partially my fault. I need to pay better attention to where I am going. Our living room has morphed into "The Toddler Zone." The floor is only visible after … Continue reading Dad Life – The Toddler Zone! →

Storytime With Melvin

I'm not sure there is anyone my age that didn't grow up with Mel Brooks' movies. I was first introduced to him with his film History of the World Part 1. Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, To Be or Not To Be, and so many others soon followed. While some of his films … Continue reading Storytime With Melvin →

The news broke earlier yesterday of the passing of actor Sidney Poitier at age 94. He was the Academy Award winning actor who starred in Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, Lilies in the Field, In The Heat of the Night and so many other great films. I'm sure there were other minor celebrity passings already … Continue reading Celebrity Passings →

My Top Three Surprised Me

I get an email each week from Word Press that tells me my weekly "stats" for this blog. I've never really been one to really check that out. I write to write. I hope that my followers find what I blog about interesting and entertaining, but in the end, my blog is for me. I … Continue reading My Top Three Surprised Me →

The Importance of a Picture

Many younger readers will look at the picture above and have no clue what it is. Back in the days before camera phones and digital photos, a person would buy a roll of film, stick it in their camera, take pictures until the film ran out and then drop it off somewhere (like a photo … Continue reading The Importance of a Picture →
