Movie Music Monday – Spiderman 2

Superheroes were big when I was growing up. I watched the Batman 1966 TV show, on Saturday morning my brother and I would watch the Superfriends cartoon, and on the Electric Company, there used to be a segment with a live action Spiderman. Hollywood is forever recycling ideas and it is no surprise that Superhero … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Spiderman 2 →

Happy Hallo-Christmas?

In Michigan you never know what Trick or Treating will be like. Most of the time, it is cold or rainy. I can only remember one or two times where it was mild. Yesterday was just crazy! Sam realized that the kids hadn't carved pumpkins that afternoon. So we sat on the kitchen floor cleaning … Continue reading Happy Hallo-Christmas? →

After a Long Week – The Weekend

The weekend is finally here! It has been a crazy week. Monday, I took the kids to get their pictures taken in their Halloween costumes. Our photographer, Beth, once again got some great shots in our 15 minute mini-session. Ella is going as Rapunzel this year. Andrew is going out as Spiderman. The pictures came … Continue reading After a Long Week – The Weekend →

Celebrating Some Supers

Today is National Superhero Day! I think every child grows up exposed to superheroes. I know as I look back on my childhood there were plenty of them. My brother and I would wake up on Saturday mornings and watch The Superfriends! Batman and Robin, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman were always there. Sometimes the … Continue reading Celebrating Some Supers →

A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet”

I believe the saying goes "A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet!" Thanks to this blog and social media, I have been able to connect with some friends who I have never met face to face. One of those friends is Mr. Puppet. A few days ago, I posted a blog about random … Continue reading A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet” →

Super Tune Top Ten

It's been awhile since I posted a musical blog, so in a way this is overdue. In a way, it is also sort of a twist on a combination of older blogs. What Prompted This Blog? While I wouldn't consider my daughter a "TV Head," PBS Kids or Disney Channel is usually on in the … Continue reading Super Tune Top Ten →

Favorite Films – The 2000’s

It's been a couple of weeks since I picked back up on this series of blogs, so I thought I had better. A while ago, I saw a post that suggested you pick one favorite film from every year of your life. So far, I have covered 3 decades. Some years were easier than others. … Continue reading Favorite Films – The 2000’s →

Summer Memory – The Good Humor Man

As I was walking to my car to leave for work today, an ice cream truck was driving down my street. I found it odd that it was not playing music. Usually, you can hear the sounds of "Little Brown Jug", "Turkey in the Straw", "Pop! Goes the Weasel", or "The Entertainer" (among others) when … Continue reading Summer Memory – The Good Humor Man →

Why no, I haven’t seen that …

As a morning DJ on the radio, I was expected to watch all the "hot" shows. I was on air when the first season of American Idol was on, when Desperate Housewives debuted, and when Grey's Anatomy premiered. I watched most of those shows. What made it very difficult was that most of these shows … Continue reading Why no, I haven’t seen that … →

Toon Tunes …

As I stated at the end of yesterday's blog - I could easily write an entire blog about Cartoon Theme songs. Some readers messaged privately with suggestions, while others commented on Facebook. So, I sat down and gathered some thoughts and have come up with a list of some of my favorites. In doing so, … Continue reading Toon Tunes … →
