Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today is 48 years since my birth. I am two years from 50, 12 from 60, 22 from 70 and so on. I used to think that 40 was old and here I am looking at the crest of the 50 Hill and thinking, this is old? Well, okay I feel old but really,…

Salutations™!! Today on The Man Who Ate the Town, Ray brought his wife, Whitney and I had The BCPF and we talked about Thanksgiving and a few food news items. We had a great time. We met with Ray and Whitney at 1703 for a wine tasting and then we all went to Willows for…
Salutations™!! It was a regular day for The BCPF and me yesterday. We ate breakfast (crepes, this time), ran by Underdog Records and then came home for a wonderful afternoon of “rekkid listenin’.” Here’s our haul: Mark Knopfler – Down The Road Wherever — The latest effort by the former Dire Straits frontman and ax-wielder, it is quintessential…
Salutations™!! Today is the 38th anniversary of John Lennon’s Double Fantasy album. So, in a quest to find a good cover of a tune, I came across the REO Brothers who perform, it seems, on a cruise line. This is the less distorted version and I wish you could hear the vocals better but they still…
Salutations™!! The BCPF started her vacation today when she got home and to surprise her, I decided to make a minestrone and my own pimento cheese. I think they both came out pretty swell. So, if you’re interested in that, head over and read the recipe. You can read it HERE. Until tomorrow, Bon appetit…
Salutations™!! I forgot to say — because I was writing other things on Monday — that we did The Man Who Ate the Town and The Beer Dads this week (and The Less Desirables). But, on The Beer Dads this episode, we talked about teaching the kid about budgeting. I found it funny that 3B…
Salutations™!! Per usual, on a Wednesday night, as I do social media stuff for The Less Desirables, I watch either a crappy sci-fi/fantasy film from the 70s/80s or something nostalgic for me. It was the latter for me, tonight. It was 1984’s Johnny Dangerously starring Michael Keaton, Joe Piscopo, Griffin Dunne, Marilu Henner and Maureen Stapleton….
Salutations™!! So, today was the day that Le’Veon Bell faced as the deadline for signing his franchise tag and with that gaining the ability to play this season. If he didn’t sign, then he doesn’t play and he forfeits the entire year’s salary of $14M+. Well, he didn’t sign. He’s most likely no longer a…
Salutations™!! 3B sent me a text earlier today that said “RIP Stan Lee.” It had just been announced. I stood and stared at the text for many seconds, not believing what I was reading. Yes, he was about a month shy of 96, but I think many comic book fans figured he’d just be around…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I were up and out early yesterday, but, we got to Underdog Records and purchased a pretty good-sized haul. Here’s what we got: Various – The Wall (Redux) — So, this is quite interesting. It’s Pink Floyd’s The Wall reimagined by a number of stoner/doom rock bands. It’s heavy, jazzy, light, dark, it’s a bit…
