Wishing my darling little granddaughter all the best in the world!

Happy 6th Birthday to my Little Princess, Almudena!!

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY, FERRÁN!

NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS (OR DAYS)!

Is your life dull, boring, listless, empty and completely devoid of excitement? In other words, have you become an apathetic, lackadaisical sorry imitation of a human being? Well, you can forget about that and begin to enjoy your days with this fabulous alternative to lonely days and/or nights!

 Introducing the Celebrity Life-Size-Cutouts Party Kit! 

Yes! For only a nominal monthly fee you can rent (with an option to buy), these fantastic life-size celebrity cutouts to fill your sad, cold and empty apartment! There is a vast and almost unlimited stock of celebrities, past and present, to choose from. And you can interchange and replace them whenever you like to fit your moods or seasons. Feeling nostalgic? There's Marilyn, Bogie, Laurel & Hardy and Raquel to refresh your memories of better times! Maybe you're playful...then get Willie Wonka or perhaps thrills and adventure are your cup of tea. If so,  Sean Connery as 007, or Steve McQueen as Bullitt can lead the way.

Want something current in politics? Vote for Kamala Harris! Or if sexy and luscious is more to your taste, then why not invite Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears or Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine Benes to a delightful and intimate evening? Whatever turns you on, we've got it! 

Transform your dingy, cold apartment from this............................................................To this!

Yes, folks! It's just that simple.

Special thanks to Photoshop!

My son Ricardo's Birthday!

And it's here again, my son Ricardo's Birthday! It's been quite a ride since that cloudy day back in 1973 when I rushed his mom to the hospital and awaited the arrival of my first (and only) son who has been my pride and joy for more than 51 years! Have a great day, kid! 

The Senior Freeze-Frame Effect!

ACTING! (An Ongoing Tutorial)

It doesn't take years of practice and learning of techniques to become a consummate thespian. 

Just keep your cool, always be focused on your performance and fake it as much as you can even in difficult situations.  But above all, never let your stupidity show!

The Armchair Philosopher!

TV Interview on WOWmxTV

                          

                 I have a hunch this will be the only live TV interview I am doing this year.                                                                                              And it's quite okay by me!

ZOOM Filters

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

SEAN CONNERY as James Bond.

 Sean Connery would've been 94 years old today. Born in August 25th, 1930, he passed away on 0ctober 31, 2020. I've always been a big fan of all his movies but I choose to remember him today as James Bond 007, one of his most famous roles!

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!

 

WONDERFUL SUMMERTIME!

 

THE WONDERS OF PHOTOSHOP

I have yet to discover how to use the recent AI technology in my photographs and artwork but mostly thanks to Photoshop, I've been able to transform some of my wildest dreams into images that illustrate what my fantasy world would be like if I could just tweak it a bit and make it all come true!

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!

THE FLY WHO BUGGED ME

For whatever the reason, there was a sudden invasion of flies in my apartment a few days ago and, rather than fill the place with toxic insecticide fumes to annihilate them, I went for the direct approach and attacked them with my trusty fly swatter.  One by one, I stalked and hunted the little varmints, executing the kill with amazing accuracy, although I must tell you... I discovered there was one fly much bigger than the rest.

MAN STEPPED ON THE MOON 55 YEARS AGO!

 On July 20, 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon, one of the greatest technological achievements in human history.

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO, HMMM!
