He directed some of Hollywood's greatest films including The Birds, North By Northwest, Suspicion, Strangers on a Train, Vertigo, Rear Window - Just to name a few.

Life’s Little Moments
This weekend, my daughter had a playdate with a friend. While she was there, my son and I were out killing time. He likes to walk through the Goodwill and antique stores with me. I came across a hat at one that made me laugh. It reminded me of that scene in Caddyshack where Rodney … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments
Book Recommendation – The Life Impossible
Since reading The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, I've come to enjoy his stories. I had been on a wait list to read his latest book, The Life Impossible for a while. I was happy when it was finally my turn to get it I won't lie, this was a bit different than his others. … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Life Impossible
Another Good Read: This Time Tomorrow
If it seems like my blog has become a lot of book recommendations, I'm sorry. I'm doing more reading than I have ever done. I suppose my desire to read comes and goes, but every book I have read lately has had something in the plot summary that peaked my interest. It's been fun to … Continue reading Another Good Read: This Time Tomorrow
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
Hardly Prepared For The Real World
I have made it no secret that Math (Algebra in particular) is NOT my best subject. I did poorly in my high school algebra classes. Yes, I did pass the college Algebra classes I had to take, but it was harder than I could have imagined. It didn't help that I hadn't looked at an … Continue reading Hardly Prepared For The Real World

At midnight tonight, we'll start a brand new year - 2022. Some have compared a new year to a book. The book with 365 blank pages - one for each day - and said that the book is ours to write. There is truth to that. As I looked back over my "book" entitled "2021," … Continue reading 2021 – What a Year!
Be careful for nothing …
I needed to read this verse tonight. The Greek word translated "careful" in verse 6 is (μεριμνάω) merimnáō. It literally means "to be anxious" or "to be troubled with cares." Anxious is defined: experiencing worry, unease, or nervousness, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. So the verse is saying "Don't be … Continue reading Be careful for nothing …
National Twilight Zone Day
My Facebook friend, Bill, shared that today is National Twilight Zone Day! He says, Twilight Zone Day is mysterious, weird, surreal and perhaps a little scary. I can think of many other adjectives, but I think you get the picture. Every once in a while, you have a day like this. And, May 11th is … Continue reading National Twilight Zone Day
Birthday Tribute to “Fred”
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 Birthday Tribute to “Fred”
