So I guess today is "One Liner Wednesday." Many of the blogs I follow were posting quotes today. I actually posted this quote on my Facebook this week and it is a quote that sums up the week for me. There is another quote, which I believe came from the movie Scarface: "Never beg anyone. … Continue reading One Liner Wednesday

Thoughts on The Godfather (1972)
It has been some time since I have been able to participate in a Blogathon, but when I saw that The Ultimate Decades Blogathon was being hosted by my friends over at Tranquil Dreams and Drew's Movie Reviews, I had to take part in it. The basic theme is to blog about a movie that … Continue reading Thoughts on The Godfather (1972)
Looking Ahead …
A radio friend discovered my blog on accident. He was doing a search on Honey Radio and my blog came up. He messaged me and asked "Is this yours?" After messaging back and forth, I told him to let me know if there was any specific topics he'd like to see on the blog. It's … Continue reading Looking Ahead …
What’s In A Name (Part 2)
When Sam told me we were expecting again, I was pretty sure the baby was a girl. As a matter of fact, I even had a dream about about it. I blogged about that here: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2021/04/23/and-the-baby-is-a/ This pregnancy has been difficult for Sam. She has been in a lot of pain. We found out that … Continue reading What’s In A Name (Part 2)
Books I Couldn’t Put Down
I love reading. I don't get as much time to do it as I'd like. I have a stack of books on my "to read" pile right now. I really need to stop going to the library because every time I do, I bring home three or four and the "to read" pile doesn't go … Continue reading Books I Couldn’t Put Down
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

Favorite Film – The 70’s
I guess I saw this on Facebook some time ago. Somebody had the idea to post a list of your favorite films. The list was to consist of your favorites from each year of your life. So, you start with your birth year and move ahead year by year and list all the films from … Continue reading Favorite Film – The 70’s
Mad About Mad!
I had a paper route as a kid. It was nice because I had an income (not much, but a lot for a kid). With the money I earned, I would run up to the record store and buy records or tapes or maybe I'd go to Circus World and buy some new toy I … Continue reading Mad About Mad!
“For the record …”
In keeping with my tradition of following Jack Benny's example, today I celebrate the 10th anniversary of my 39th birthday. My wife is the best gift giver - hands down. She picks up on things that I say in passing and turns it into an amazing gift. She knows I love the Godfather and mafia … Continue reading “For the record …”
