Solar eclipse of April 8, 2024!

"A total solar eclipse took place on Monday, April 8, 2024, visible across North America and dubbed the Great North American Eclipse by some media.  A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs only in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometers wide." (WIKIPEDIA)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AGENT 99!



Barbara Feldon (born Barbara Anne Hall; March 12, 1933) is an American actress primarily known for her roles on television. Her most prominent role was that of Agent 99 in the 1965–1970 sitcom Get Smart.










Would you believe Barbara Feldon is 91 years young today, March 12, 2024?  I confess I had a big crush on her from the very first time I saw her on TV, which was not in her debut as 99 on the GET SMART show but rather as Mandy Stevenson on another spy series: THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.

IMDb and WIKIPEDIA can offer you her entire biography and career filmography so I won't dwell into that. All I can say is that Barbara Feldon had the most beautiful and tantalizing eyes I had ever seen and she stole my heart from the very moment I saw her on my TV set. Today, I am thankfully glad she's still with us, although the chance of meeting her in person is extremely remote since she lives in New York and from what I've read, she's a very private and laid back person nowadays. Anyway, I am happy to visit her via my DVD collection...and loving it!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BARBARA FELDON AND LONG LIVE AGENT 99!

OSCAR NIGHT 2024...

Each passing year, I find less and less things to enjoy about the Academy Awards ceremony. 
On the bright side, there are many alternate ways to enjoy the evening...like watching Bugs Bunny cartoons on my tablet...or DVD player!

VALENTINE'S DAY, 2024!

After many years of singlehood, I think maybe the time has come to replace my Cupid,
 whose on target average has been 00.00!

In the meantime, may I wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day with these great pictures of my favorite blonde, Marilyn Monroe!

THE SHADOW KNOWS...AGAIN!

By the time you reach a certain age and you do not have anyone to share your life with, you realize you're chances of meeting someone are close to nil, so you accept the fact and move on with your existence...
However, the impulse is still there...and the shadow knows!

ME AND MY SHADOW!

The old 1930s THE SHADOW radio show began with the line: "What evil lurks in the hearts of men? The shadow knows!" And my shadow has always been a dead giveaway of my own personal secrets!
The shadows play a crucial part every February 2nd, where Punxsutawney Phil comes out of his hole to take a look at its shadow in what is known as Groundhog Day.
Groundhog Day is a tradition observed in the United States and Canada on February 2 of every year. It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow, it will retreat to its den and winter will go on for six more weeks; if it does not see its shadow, spring will arrive early. In 2024, an early spring was predicted.

MAD Magazine's Sergio Aragonés created an entire series of funny cartoons entitled The Shadow Knows and as an homage to him, I've drawn my own shadow fantasies a few times.

Sleeping Positions With A Kid

Whenever I visit my grandchildren, there's always that bonding moment where
you go to bed with one of them. The experience can be somewhat distressing if you
don't know beforehand what this adventure entails.
