I kept telling people that the 60+ degree temperature and sunny skies of last week was premature. This weekend saw a return to more seasonal weather. Saturday, I tagged along to the zoo. Since I had to be back for mass at 6, I drove myself. I did fine until I exited the turnpike and […]

There are three shows being presented by area theatres that pique my interest. First on the list is the Village Players little three person cast play, Miracles. I was loaned a copy of the script and I read it twice. It is very emotional and thought-provoking with a few moments of lightheartedness. Definitely would be
The last few weeks have not been a good one if you were young or were related to some figure in the public eye of the 1980s. First, it was Andrew Koenig (of Growing Pains fame). Last week, Marie Osmond’s young son was found dead. Yet another blow in her long list of tragic events.

Well… today was eventful. The H.S. Boys Basketball team is in the District finalS for the first time since 2001. The final will be Friday night at the “Grand Canyon.” This made for a very UNeventful evening at work. From 7pm-9pm, I probably could count the number of customers I had on one hand. I

Before the newest in the endless stream of Robin Hood tales hits the big screen this summer (the first film featuring the outlaw dates back to 1908… the character is hundreds of years old), I recently revisited the 1991 Kevin Costner version Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Lots of memories dating back to the summer

If nothing else, last night’s Academy Awards made a strong statement that traditional movie making is still preferable to the rise of technology…. in the eyes of the voters anyway. Avatar may have earned $567,890,123.45 (that figure may even be low) at the box office but I think it was ultimately the big loser this

The return of the high school musical. It has been years and long over due! I’m sure there is some talent still in the school. I remember the days when the musical was one of the highlights of the school year! I may only vaguely remember seeing The Wizard of Oz back in the late
A few posts ago, I was pondering the popularity of the extremely cool acapella group Straight No Chaser and came across a website full of information, song samples, and discography. I also discovered that a new song-filled recording is about to drop. And quite remarkably this little group was organized on a college campus just

Today would have been Carol’s 54th birthday. So many wonderful memories. I know the last show she saw me in was Idol Night at the Karaoke Place and the character I played which is the same as my blog title. In the show, my best friend sang my favorite inspirational song made famous by my

Or maybe that is what these so called “reality shows” are all about. I don’t watch but I do like to see the list of celebrities (most of whom I wish would just go away) who are willing to put their “talent” on display for better or worse.. probably the latter. The talented celebrities for
