Cremo!

Yes, you heard right. What is Cremo? Cremo is many things, many products, and unlike Kamiaru, Cremo actually exists and has a whole line of products I’d never even heard of a month ago. Linda bought some Cremo body wash that I spotted in the bathroom. This elegant bottle of golden syrup called to me,Continue reading “Cremo!”

Party with the Dead!

Just thinking out loud, feelin’ lockdown-ish. If you were going to have a party, but can only invite *famous* dead people from history, because social distancing wouldn’t be in effect for them, who would you invite? And each one would show up as you remember them from your favorite era. Groucho Marx is the firstContinue reading “Party with the Dead!”

Random Remembrance- the video recording years

During the ’80’s, I put on some goofy shows. Sadly, or maybe not so sadly, most of them no longer exist. I think it all began back in 1980 when I got my first car, a 1970, .302 V8 Mustang. Bucket seats. Sigh. Such a cool car, we built video adventures around it. Through aContinue reading “Random Remembrance- the video recording years”

Dear BBC, take my money…

I don’t think I’m going out on a limb here by saying the Beeb is now focused on animating all the missing episodes. If it is a limb, it feels very sturdy. The purse strings that used to be tied up in Gordian knots seem to have been sliced open and it’s raining animation moneyContinue reading “Dear BBC, take my money…”

Small Surprise

We really don’t do fast food *that* often but Matt and I were on our own for dinner the other night and had Wendy’s delivered. I ordered a Double cheese everything and that’s a sizable burger… but when he took it out of the bag, he looked at it. I looked at it. From theContinue reading “Small Surprise”

ITEMS!

ITEM: At some point in the near future, Matt and I will be sitting across the table from each other and running the hot sauce gauntlet, ala the Hot Ones on YouTube. We are both going to regret this stupid, stupid move. Coming soon. NEXT! ITEM: There’s a coach on the St. Louis Cardinals calledContinue reading “ITEMS!”

The Yearly Cable Battle

It’s around this time each year when I call Comcast to renegotiate a lower bill without losing too many channels. But they’re crafty. They now have perhaps the perfect set up. They will lull you into a false sense of security and accomplishment before verrrrrrrrry slowly pulling the rug out from under you. I getContinue reading “The Yearly Cable Battle”

CRUNCH, KRONK, CHUNG

The title will eventually make sense but this was something that happened many years ago…. It was cold, close to the holidays, and Sheree’s parents were leaving town. Sheree was a nice girl– I think. I don’t remember how well we knew her at the American Academy of Art back in the early ’80’s. ButContinue reading “CRUNCH, KRONK, CHUNG”

Stargazing!

So, you say you wanna see the stars? Well, I did, so earlier in the year, I threw out the idea to the family to take a family trip—while we still can— to go see a proper star-scape. There are various places around the country where you can experience an excellent stellar presentation, and weContinue reading “Stargazing!”

Doctor Who part 5

In 1987, as Doctor Who was at its nadir, us Star Trek fans were starved for more Trek and we got Star Trek: The Next Generation. It didn’t matter that the majority of the first two seasons were not great. The fans were starving for it and we’d forgive anything. In 2005, us Who fansContinue reading “Doctor Who part 5”
