I thought I recognized that dude

The date was October 25, 1975 and Rob Reiner was hosting episode #3 of the new series – Saturday Night Live.  While watching this season on DVD recently, a dance group came on the screen… If you haven’t recognized Fred Berry – it was just under a year later that this appearance apparently landed him [...]

I couldn’t agree more

I spotted something this morning that I just had to stop and snap.  First, I apologize if the visual strikes you as distasteful.   Apparently, some inconsiderate dog owner walked their massive pooch by someone’s front door at the apartment complex – when the resident saw it, he/she took the time to post a little [...]

Mornings are getting great

I can’t tell you how much I have been enjoying the cool mornings we have had the last two weeks. Sure, it still gets pretty hot by the middle of the day, but my morning walks with Lou have been close to perfect. This morning, the temperature was right at 65 with a nice breeze [...]

Less talented sons of their father’s shows

I recently caught the pilot of Sons of Anarchy.  I saw ads for SOA a while back and had a feeling that it wouldn’t be very good.  In fact, I never would have given it a chance had I not seen Ron Perlman as one of the lead characters.  He is a very good actor [...]

Finally!

Part of my four-day visit to my Houston home was the need to get some fresh food.  One of my biggest gripes about trying to eat better is trying to fit my peculiarities.  I am not a big fan of melon in general – most of them are just too sweet.  Honeydew however, is just [...]
