Let’s begin in May 1977. The month I turned 7 years old, two movies were released that would have major influences over my childhood, and adulthood. They were also the biggest movies of the year. The movies were Star Wars and Smokey and the Bandit. I can recall exactly where I saw each movie, too. … Continue reading Sadness At The Drive In (A Tweaked Summer Rerun)

I Wondered When This Would Happen
The above photo is one of many AI photos created to show "what Elvis would look like if he were still alive." While it is interesting to see what AI comes up with, things are beginning to get out of control. Scroll Instagram or Tik Tok today and you will eventually find videos that feature … Continue reading I Wondered When This Would Happen
Friday Photo Flashback
Today's flashback takes me back to around 2008. I'm not 100%, but based on the ages that the boys look, it is about right. My oldest son was diagnosed as being on the Autism spectrum. After a brief search, we became quite involved with the local support group. We found that there were many other … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Share Your Nostalgia
After seven days of great toys, I suppose it is my turn to wrap things up in my Toy of Your Life topic. Before I begin, I want to extend my gratitude to those seven writers who said, "Yeah, Keith. I'll write up something for your silly feature." Nancy, Colin, Christian, Randy, Max, Dave, and … Continue reading Share Your Nostalgia
Life’s Little Moments
It seems odd to do a week in review "highlights" post on Thursday, but it really is the day that I get an extra minute or two to look back, so here goes. Kicking Kid While the days leading up to it were extremely unorganized, Saturday morning Andrew got to play soccer. It was quite … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments
Friday Photo Flashback

According to the date stamp, this was developed in 1988 (the year I graduated from high school). That being … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
The Music of My Life – 1977
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 – 1977
Too Many Streams
Money hungry. That's what they are. Money hungry. I remember a time when we had Netflix and Hulu and that gave us pretty much every thing we needed to watch movies and TV shows. That's not the case today. So many "parent companies" are pulling stuff off Netflix to add to their own streaming platform … Continue reading Too Many Streams
Finally – A Movie I Can Get Excited To See !
If you were to ask me "What is the last movie you saw in a theater?" I wouldn't be able to give you an answer. Honestly. I don't remember. For what it is worth, there really haven't been any movies that have really made me want to go to the theater to see them either. … Continue reading Finally – A Movie I Can Get Excited To See !
Turntable Talk – Did Video Kill The Radio Star?
This blog is my entry for Dave over at A Sound Day's "Turntable Talk." Kudo's to Dave for picking some fantastic topics, and at the same time letting us participants "run" with it. The following are the instructions we were given: We were told we " ...don't have to write literally about the question, but … Continue reading Turntable Talk – Did Video Kill The Radio Star?
