Audience Reaction

I watch a lot of stuff at home. Usually, it is just me and the family or just me. Watching something like this is nice, however, watching something with an audience can enhance your experience (and sometimes do the opposite). Here's an example. I have watched the Three Stooges on TV, VHS, and DVD hundreds … Continue reading Audience Reaction →

A Shemptastic Birthday Salute!

(This blog originally posted in 2018) Throughout history, some truly great people never got the respect they deserved simply because they had big shoes to fill. * John Adams following George Washington as President of the United States. * Ryan Seacrest following Dick Clark hosting New Year's Rockin' Eve. * Ray Combs following Richard Dawson … Continue reading A Shemptastic Birthday Salute! →

Book Recommendation – Stoogeology

As a Three Stooges fan, I have pretty much read every book about them. I have read Moe's autobiography, Curly's biography written by his niece, Larry's biography written by Steve Cox, both of the Shemp biographies, and just about every other "compilation." This book has popped up on my Amazon "You Might Like" list for … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Stoogeology →

Happy New Year, Again.

I've been meaning to write a little recap of post-Christmas happenings, and I just haven't had a second to do it. So here are just a few highlights. The boys and me. That Three Stooges poster behind us was a complete coincidence. My boys and I got together the weekend after Christmas. The Christmas holiday … Continue reading Happy New Year, Again. →

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! →

Tune Tuesday – The Curly Shuffle

On this day in 1903, Jerome “Curly” Howard was born. He was a man who made – and continues to make – millions of people laugh! He is considered by many, myself included, to be a comedic genius. He, of course, is remembered for his role as the “third stooge” in the Three Stooges comedy … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – The Curly Shuffle →

A Christmas Masterpiece

Back in April of last year, I wrote a blog about my friend (and artist) Belita William. You can read it here: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2022/04/15/my-kids-posers/ I had to keep this quiet, because I wasn't sure if my wife might read my blog. However, I can now share the news. Her request to paint my children was granted and (just in … Continue reading A Christmas Masterpiece →

Weekend Business

My last blog was a "throwaway." I've had a lot going on, yet I was struggling to find something to write about. I stepped away for a couple days and now I have a few things worth sharing. We Have a Street! They finally blacktopped the street this weekend! They finished the driveways and sidewalks … Continue reading Weekend Business →

Two-riffic Day!

I had the day off yesterday for my son's birthday. It was such a great day with the family. He is all about tools and the construction vehicles that have been outside, so that was the "theme" for his birthday. My dad sent him a tool box earlier this week. It had some cool tools … Continue reading Two-riffic Day! →
