Another Day, Another Year

Happy 79th Birthday, Pop!

If you have read my blogs in the past, you know that it consists of a mixture of pop culture things (like movie, TV and music thoughts) and personal things (radio stories, school memories, and things from my childhood).  As I thought about today's blog topic, I realized that without this man in my life … Continue reading Happy 79th Birthday, Pop! →

Your Wish Is My Command

I can't remember what site I saw this on, but thought it was interesting to see the responses. If you had one "genie wish," what would you wish for? I think what makes the question tough to answer is that whenever we think of a genie, there always seems to be three wishes. That's not … Continue reading Your Wish Is My Command →

A Novel Idea

One of my favorite places to hang out is the library.  Last week, my oldest son asked if we could go there so he could look up some things for a homework project.  While he was working on that, I naturally started browsing.  I always start in the New Fiction/New Non-Fiction section.  By doing this, … Continue reading A Novel Idea →

Is it “Binge” Worthy?

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 →

What’s Up, Doc?

This week I found out that the doctor's office where my primary care doctor practices is going private. To be honest, this is the first time I have ever had this happen. They offered all of the current patient's the option to stay with the practice - at a cost. So for $90 a month, … Continue reading What’s Up, Doc? →
