If Hurricanes Weren't Enough...Read details HERE! Posted: Wednesday 9th November 2005, 1:27 AM It Never Got Weird Enough for MeI'll tell you what re-motivated me, besides some time away from attempting to be "creative at the keyboard," was watching an older flick on the Sundance Channel. "Where the Buffalo Roam," featured Bill Murray (in his early career) as Gonzo Journalist Doctor Hunter S. Thompson. The movie brought back some memories that I'd like to share: It Never Got Weird Enough for Me... Posted: Friday 14th October 2005, 9:03 AM Continuing Coverage of Hurricane KatrinaOur previous Hurricane Katrina Coverage (In Chronological Order) Keep up with our "Continuing Coverage" on: Daily News Direct! Posted: Friday 26th August 2005, 7:45 PM To Boldly Go NowhereHowever, all was not as planned. Guess what? Well, you know the story...That pesky foam hit the shuttle - AGAIN - upon launch. NASA, however, has deemed things to be OK. OK? Read about that AND my commentary: To Boldly Go Nowhere. Posted: Sunday 31st July 2005, 12:26 PM In Memory of Scotty (James Doohan)As a reporter, I was very priviledged to have interviewed him, as well as other cast members on various occasions. Scotty (James) was a real hoot! I know I'll miss him, as will his fans, wordwide! Click here for my memorial page. Posted: Thursday 21st July 2005, 1:17 PM Top 10 Movie Car Chase ScenesIts probably no surprise, but that famous San Francisco chase scene from "Bullitt," starring Steve McQueen (1968) was ranked number one, with the number two spot going to the remake of "Gone in 60 Seconds." Read the results of the survey HERE! Posted: Monday 18th July 2005, 9:43 AM Seniors Dating OnlineI've add new categories and articles, obviously, to the Main Article Index, as well as new and improved links to other Blogs, and a new color scheme. I hope you like it, as the old one had been a bit "drab" from the onset. Now, lets get down to business, shall we? I saw on the news, last night, that senior citizens are increasingly using the internet to make friends and even date. The internet has, apparently, made it considerably easier on the older generation to "get in touch" with - perhaps - someone special, following a divorce or the unfortunate death of a spouse. Read more... Its good to be back! ;-) Posted: Tuesday 12th July 2005, 12:41 PM Herb Alpert's "Whipped Cream" 40th AnniversaryHis group, The Tijuana Brass, made bank on an album called, "Whipped Cream & Other Delights," back in the mid 60's. I almost can't believe its been that long ago, and a 40th Anniversay Edition is being released. One of its instrumentals, "A Taste of Honey," was a big success. The album cover featured a rather "naughty" photo (for its time). By the way, I still have the original LP. It stayed at number one on the hit charts for eight weeks. Read More... Posted: Sunday 17th April 2005, 12:50 PM Spring StargazingComing up April 22nd, there's a meteor shower: Lyrids. The best time to observe a meteor shower is after midnight. Both Jupiter and Saturn can be seen in the evening sky during April. Look for Jupiter in the southeast and Saturn in the Southwest. Posted: Thursday 7th April 2005, 11:18 AM Diabetic Medication TipIf you get in a bind, here's something that should work for you, as it did for me. I telephoned my physician, requesting a week's supply of "samples." Not only did they helpfully provide me with enough to get me through, they actually provided me with well-over a month's worth! Keep in mind, this is a practice that you should NOT abuse. Its an emergency type of measure. My major point in this story is, if you're a diabeteic, make sure you ALWAYS take your medication, and if you get in a pinch, contact your doctor. Posted: Wednesday 9th March 2005, 8:54 AM The Death of a Gonzo JournalistI was saddened to learn that Thompson is reported to have fatally shot himself in the head at the age of 76. He was a very prolific writer for Rolling Stone Magazine, as well as author of one of my favorite books, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Thompson, from the 60's and 70's era of the media, was a "journalist's journalist," in my opinion. Read more... Posted: Monday 21st February 2005, 9:30 AM Lost in Space MemoriesLooking back, it was amazingly ahead of its time and actually made its debut before Star Trek. I have fond memories of the episodes, yup showing my age...AGAIN! But who can forget the classic scene of the robot, arms waving, yelling: "Danger Will Robinson!" If you've never seen the show, or want to re-live a few old memories, I've put a page together with some info. Read More! Its interesting to note that Angela Cartwright, who played Penny, has become a very accomplished photographer/artist. Posted: Monday 31st January 2005, 8:13 AM My Tribute to Johnny CarsonCarson held the reigns of the popular program for three decades, and I was fortunate enough to have been around for all of it. He turned the program over to Jay Leno 13 years ago, and The Tonight Show has never been the same, nor has late night television, overall. I've written a tribute article with a bit of history and my thoughts. If you'd like to learn more, read on... Posted: Friday 28th January 2005, 1:57 PM Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Who Dies Next?Harry Potter fans have been eagerly awaiting this lastest book in the series, since, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."

Posted: Friday 31st December 2004, 9:28 AM Russian Cameras - Kiev 4am and FED-5My latest passion is for Russian cameras. Mainly because they are readily available for reasonable prices, and have the manual features that I have come to miss in recent years. I've recently purchased two rangefinders, a Kiev 4am and a FED-5. Read More... Posted: Tuesday 28th December 2004, 9:36 AM Merry Christmas 2004!My holiday wish for you is that you ALL have a very safe and Merry Christmas! Posted: Friday 24th December 2004, 6:55 AM The Holga CameraYears ago, one of my many hobbies was film photography. I was heavily into 35mm, medium format, as well as large format. In large format, I was limited to a 4x5 view camera. I also did all my own darkroom work. It seems, these days, I actually want to my take photography back a few notches and am exploring the allure of the Holga Camera. The Holga is an inexpensive plastic toy camera that take unbelievably artistic photographs. Its a cult classic. Read More... Posted: Monday 20th December 2004, 4:03 PM Shop Online this Holiday Season!With all the talk about the flu and colds (yes, a common result of Christmas shopping crowds), I developed a small website where you can do some online shopping over the holiday season...Or actually anytime you want, just for your convenience. I've even added a BLOG, where I'll continually review products that I find of interest. After all, we've got computers, so isn't it quicker and more efficiant than battling long lines, when you can shop securely in your own home? Posted: Friday 17th December 2004, 12:01 PM |
