During Amazon Prime Day a few months back, I felt the need to buy a few items even though I generally buy Amazon items on a weekly basis. I didn’t buy much that day as I knew we were getting a new house and I did not want […]
When Dirty Dancing first came out I was young. I didn’t see the thrill or allure of the movie. First off, people danced all the time on my South Bronx neighborhood block. Have you heard of merengue or salsa dancing? It was in vogue on my block before […]
When Twin Peaks first aired on television I had a blast watching it. I would gather with other friends to catch the episodes. We would all be astonished and in awe together. I, like everyone else I knew at the time, had truly never seen anything like it. […]

I remember many years and moons ago, there was great buzz about the closing credits of a movie. That movie, Ferris Buellers Day Off is now a classic. He did what movies are not supposed to do. It acknowledged the audience. It spoke directly to the audience. Ferris […]
If all things work out, I may be moving into a new house at the end of the summer. That means I will have two more months to live it up in downtown Los Angeles. Problem is that I don’t even know what it means to live […]
