Guest Blogger: My Baby Brother (A Summer Rerun)

I revisited a blog that was written by my brother in 2019 this week. It made me laugh out loud again, just as it did when he first sent it to me. I thought I would repost because 1) It's always fun to have someone else write about you, 2) He's a better writer than … Continue reading Guest Blogger: My Baby Brother (A Summer Rerun) →

I Khan’t Get Enough

I am not what you would call a "Trekkie." I do enjoy Star Trek (The Original Series and The Next Generation), but I'm not a fanatic. However, there is one movie that I will always stop and watch if it is on. It was on this day in 1982 that the BEST of all of … Continue reading I Khan’t Get Enough →

Some Good Impressions.

Kevin Pollak Happy 68th Birthday to Kevin Pollak! He is known for his roles in the Grumpy Old Men series and A Few Good Men. Prior to that, he was a stand up comedian. During his act he would often do some fantastic impressions. Let's laugh our way closer to the weekend.... One of my … Continue reading Some Good Impressions. →

No! Just, No!

If you had a dollar for every time I have ranted about this, you could get yourself a really nice seven course meal! I wish that this didn't aggravate me so much, but it does! So, please let me rant and you can get on with your regular scrolling.... It is all over the internet … Continue reading No! Just, No! →

Cast the Movie of Your Life

The Word Press App on my phone will offer a daily writing prompt to bloggers. I subscribe to a few "prompt" emails and such, and they can certainly be thought starters. Today's prompt was one I had considered before and I may have even been asked a similar question by a Facebook friend. The prompt: … Continue reading Cast the Movie of Your Life →

TV Show Draft – Round 4 – Columbo

Welcome to my fourth round pick in the Hanspostcard TV Draft. Last round I chose Perry Mason, which was the ultimate court room "whodunit!" You never knew who committed the crime until the end of the episode. I thought it appropriate to choose Columbo for this round, because it is almost the exact opposite of … Continue reading TV Show Draft – Round 4 – Columbo →

That’s one way I won’t watch your show…

I don't watch a lot of new TV shows. This is partly by choice and partly because of the lack of time to watch (or that I have better things to do!). I don't think that there has been any new show over the past, I don't know, 5 years that I was really excited … Continue reading That’s one way I won’t watch your show… →

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 →

This blog is a continuation of a series I started earlier this week.
