The majority of my reading has been done with the help of audiobooks. However, for Christmas I received an actual physical book. The book has been on my wishlist since I heard it was coming out. One of my all-time favorite comedies is Airplane! It is guaranteed to make me laugh, no matter how many … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Surely You Can’t Be Serious
The Music of My Life – 2004
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 – 2004
Tune Tuesday – Fame
It was on this day in 1982 that the TV adaptation of Fame first aired on NBC. The TV series was based on the 1980 hit movie, which started Irene Cara as Coco Hernandez. The movie is about students at Fiorello LaGuardia High, also known as the New York City High School for the Performing … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Fame
Rocking At The Schoolhouse
I thought about ways to tie this post into Movie Music Monday, but I really couldn't find a way to do it. That being said, the feature will return next week. I decided to revisit one of the first topics I blogged about, as there are many new followers since 2018. As a kid, we … Continue reading Rocking At The Schoolhouse

Once again, the good folks at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan have published their annual list of Banished Words. Each new year they take time to "reflect on the words and phrases that may have worn out their welcome." This tradition goes all the way back to 1976. Here are some … Continue reading Stop Saying That!
Book Recommendation – A Talent For Murder
According to my Goodreads "Year in Books," I read 60 books last year. I was a bit overzealous when I said I wanted to read 100. Among those 60 were The Kind Worth Killing and The Kind Worth Saving by Peter Swanson. They feature Lily Kintner and Henry Kimball. Two friends who become friends in … Continue reading Book Recommendation – A Talent For Murder
2024 in Review
I spent the better part of New Year's Day and yesterday thinking about 2024. It always amazes me at just how much stuff you do in a year! Sometimes I wish WordPress had a "memories" feature like Facebook. I'd love to be able to look back on a given day without having to search my … Continue reading 2024 in Review
Friday Photo Flashback
This being the first Friday Photo Flashback of the New Year, I went looking for a New Year's Picture. It seems like I was always doing something for New Year's Eve. Usually, we'd hang out at the VFW hall with my folks. There was always cheap drinks, good music and good people. When I got … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Uncomfortably Numb
Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com I took advantage of the warm weather on Saturday. It was windy, but it was perfect to get the outdoor decorations down. This is the first year that I didn't have to wait until spring to do it. Our outdoor stuff isn't too complicated. The most difficult thing is … Continue reading Uncomfortably Numb
