Cuckoo for Cuckoo Clocks

Sonny, the Cuckoo Bird If I am being completely honest with you, I have no idea what brought up the topic of today's blog! It certainly didn't come about because of a Cocoa Puffs commercial! I guess it was just one of those random memories that popped into my head earlier today. Every Sunday, my … Continue reading Cuckoo for Cuckoo Clocks →

We Need A Little Happy…

Let's face it, 2020 has kinda been a crappy year. As it draws to a close, many of us will be glad to see it go! Sure, there have been high points, but the bad has outweighed the good throughout most of the year.

A Little Mischief

All my life the night before Halloween was referred to as Devil's Night. In some places it is called Mischief Night. Other places call it Goosey Night, Mat Night, or Cabbage Night. Whatever you called it, it was usually a night that kids/teens would go out and prank people. Usually those pranks were pretty harmless. … Continue reading A Little Mischief →

They will be from movies from the 70's-90's. Have fun! It's not often you see a guy that green have the … Continue reading Name the Movie →

We … Continue reading A Great Fall Weekend! →

A New Car! (Sort of …)

I drive about 70 miles to work each day. Round trip that means I drive about 140 miles 4 times a week. In a year, I will put about 29,000 miles on my car. I got good gas mileage on the car I was driving, however, I was about to turn 170,000 and it was … Continue reading A New Car! (Sort of …) →

Earlier today it was reported that all of the Charlie Brown holiday specials will NOT be airing on broadcast TV this year! Instead, it will be moving to Apple TV (a pay service) for viewing.

A Creepy, Kookie, Spooky Blog?

It's October, so in the days ahead you will be hearing Bobby "Boris" Pickett's Monster Mash more times than you care to count! As Halloween approaches, I am reminded of the great Universal Monster Movies of the 1930's and 1940's! I'm not sure who did this fantastic artwork, but I think it's awesome! Universal Monsters … Continue reading A Creepy, Kookie, Spooky Blog? →
