BACK IN 1951

Now anyone can have their picture on the front page of any newspaper.

Thank you, Photoshop!

Discussing politics, sports and religion with friends!

This is a cartoon I posted in 2020 but it hasn't lost its relevance.

Incredibly, I've lost more friendships arguing about these three subjects more than any other topics

 and guess what --- I don't even really care about politics, religion or sports!

When you're doing ZOOM meetings, it's always a good idea to try and look your best!

CLARINETITIS!

First performed in 1697, William Congreve's play The Mourning Bride includes as its first line, “Music hath charms to soothe the wild beast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak,” implying that the rhythm and sounds in music can calm even one with a violent, aggressive nature. In the matter of my clarinet playing, it has a quite different effect!

IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING!

 

PARIS 2024 OLYMPIC GAMESSZZZ

Maybe the Olympic Games are something really exciting and universally regarded as a spectacle

 chock-full of thrills and spills but to yours truly, they are just one big snooze fest!

RECOLLECTIONS

 

                               I guess when it comes to aging, it's all about going back to basics!

ARE YOU AN OLD SCHOOL DINOSAUR?

We used to be called Baby Boomers but that may very well change in the future. I just read in a comment by some wise guy millennial, that "old school dinosaurs" were a hindrance at the workplace because of their old fashioned ways.  And by "old school dinosaurs", he meant people born before 1970.

While that may be the case, our generation still has some rare distinctions that set us apart in a remarkable way from all others.  People born between 1950 and 1960 have lived in 7 decades, two centuries and 2 millenia. Between 1950 and 1970, we also had great music, beautiful (though bulky) cars, drive-in theaters, soda fountains, and some of the most memorable movies and TV shows ever. Just for starters, the Beatles music,  The Pink Panther and James Bond movies were born in the Sixties!  Google it!

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!

Happy New Year 2024...with Harry Harrison!

Harry Harrison was a radio personality, primarily in New York City, for over 50 years. Harrison is the only disc jockey to be a WMCA "Good Guy", a WABC "All-American", and a personality on WCBS-FM's oldies format. Harrison retired in June 2005. He was known as New York's "Morning Mayor" after having hosted morning drive time through most of his career.  In 1965, he recorded the holiday narration "May You Always", which was released as a single on Amy Records and made the Billboard Christmas singles chart that year. The recording has been a staple and airs every New Year's Eve on the radio station.

Harry Harrison died peacefully on January 28, 2020, at his home in Westwood, New Jersey, at the age of 89. 

 

This is a copy of the WCBS-FM letter that Harry sends out to those who request the lyrics. But, to truly appreciate it, you have to hear Harry read it.

Signs that tell you Christmas is over!
