No More Strobe

Ok. I am upset. Earlier this week, Sirius took away one of my favorite channels - "The Strobe". Yes, I enjoyed listening to the disco classics of the 70s when I was in high school. Now they are again distant memories. In its place, I have discovered "1st Wave" - the new wave music of the late 70s/early 80s. It reminds me of my favorite station when I was in college - WLIR. Although the station was "on the Island", it came in clearly in The Bronx. They played U2, INXS, etc before they made it to the pop charts. This begs the question, if I have moved away from 70s Disco and to 80s New Wave, will I one day catch up to contemporary music again? Hmmm. Stay tuned...

Wedding in Vegas

This past March, we were went to Las Vegas for our neighbors/friends/pokerbuddies' wedding. I wanted to make a special wedding card for Joe and Wendy. BoBunny Press' "LOVE" chipboard album inspired me! (Please forgive the quality since I used my cell phone to take the pics).

Slacking on this resolution... gaining more than losing. I really need to turn this around!

Goodbye George Carlin and Bozo the Clown

Two other icons from my childhood recently passed away...

I remember watching George Carlin on the Flip Wilson Show when I was a child. My husband and I were fortunate to see a Carlin show in Akron a few years ago (after missing a show in New Jersey many years earlier due to a snow storm). I will miss his humor. 06.22.2008

What can I say about watching "Bozo the Clown" as a child? Lawrence Weiss (Larry Harmon ). 07.03.2008

Goodbye Jim McKay

I grew up watching ABC's Wide World of Sports with my dad. At a time when there were only 3 major networks, 3 minor channels, and one public channel in NYC, that show was the highlight of a weekend afternoon. I will always remember the show's introduction and will never forget the "agony of defeat" as a skier fell off of a ski ramp. More importantly, I will remember Jim McKay as a wonderful childhood memory.
