Life’s Just a Bowl of Larrys

As a Three Stooges fan, I remember seeing the above photo on a T-shirt years ago. It made me chuckle and the phrase fits right in with this post. There is an ice cream place near us that puts a name on their sign every day. That name gets a free ice cream cone. This … Continue reading Life’s Just a Bowl of Larrys →

Another Day, Another Year

As you know, Friday was my 56th birthday. It was a fairly normal day. I worked Thursday night and Friday morning, the kids Facetimed me to sing Happy Birthday before school. I came home and slept for a couple hours before I had to take Andrew to occupational therapy. Afterward, I picked up Ella from … Continue reading Another Day, Another Year →

Friday Photo Flashback

Today is the 110th birthday of "The Chairman of the Board!" Happy Heavenly Birthday to Frank Sinatra. He lives on through the music he left behind. I got to interview a lot of famous people when I worked on the radio, but I wish I could have had the chance to interview him. He was … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

A-I-A-I Oh!

Last week social media was flooded with AI generated pictures of people's "action figures." You basically upload a picture of yourself and ask AI to generate it with whatever accessories you want. And while there were memes making fun of everyone doing this, I had to try it for myself. This made me laugh out … Continue reading A-I-A-I Oh! →

Life’s Little Moments

I woke up yesterday morning to exactly what I expected in regard to social media. One side gloating and the other angry. Honestly, if the outcome had been different, it would have been the same way, just the other way around. It was the same here on WordPress, and because of that, I promise that … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Life’s Little Moments

I've been having fun on the blog in the last week or so. However, we've experienced our share of rough stuff at home. Hopefully, we're working our way towards the end of it. Germs! It started with Ella about three weeks ago. She went to urgent care with a fever. They said it was an … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

No So Intelligent

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is everywhere today. I recently read where radio is now utilizing AI DJs! Urgh. Some AI can be fun. I was recently told about a few apps that can create AI photos based on your suggestions. For "Nostalgic Italian" it came up with this... For "Nostalgic Italian drinking coffee" it offered up … Continue reading No So Intelligent →
