I am a New Yorker. I am sunshine with a mix of dark. I’m a born curmudgeon but am often described as having a sunny personality. I don’t know how that happened. Nonetheless, I speak curmudgeon. I’m quite fluent in it. Thus, trust me when I tell you […]
I have happily noted that I have seen more movies this past tear in the movie theater than I have for a rather long time. Not all movies have been great. But for the most part I have enjoyed watching them, starting off with Black Panther. Can […]
Many years ago, I was watching Sesame Street with my son and I got a huge chuckle out of a segment called there’s an app for that which focused on a IPOGO app that replaces the good old pogostick. It was taking on the obsession with […]

I have this odd reaction when I hear the word baskets. I giggle and gasp in horror. See, one of my favorite movies of all time is Silence of the Lambs. And, in that awesome movie, is a quite horrific scene about putting lotion in a basket. The […]
