I Might Be a Swiftie

Saturday night I searched Netflix for something to fill a ninety-minute gap in my TV viewing.  I could have gone dancing, but the storm made it comfortable to be a couch potato instead. There was a documentary about Taylor Swift. I’ve always admired her songwriting skills. I heard lately that she has had multiple (5)… Continue reading I Might Be a Swiftie

Why Do We Hide Mental Issues in America?

(re-run) It has come to my attention that if a person tells you that he has Asperger’s* and you tell another person that the guy has Asperger’s, that is a bad thing. We all know that If the guy had a broken leg or a bad heart, and you tell others of those things, it’s… Continue reading Why Do We Hide Mental Issues in America?

The Addams Family of Yesteryear Versus Wednesday of Today

For the past two nights, my adult children and I binged the entire first season of Wednesday on Netflix. I was intrigued because I watched the Addams Family TV show as a child. It was on TV for two seasons in the 60s, 32 episodes each season. These days that would be enough episodes for… Continue reading The Addams Family of Yesteryear Versus Wednesday of Today

West Side Story, Then and Now

After seeing the new movie, West Side Story, I needed to watch the 1961 version. Steven Spielberg made a bunch of changes in the new movie, and I wanted to see what they were.  The biggest change was making Doc, originally a man, into a female character so that Rita Moreno could play the part.… Continue reading West Side Story, Then and Now

A TV Aha Moment

I didn’t livestream anything until my youngest child offered to share her account with me. This came about one day when she was using my TV to watch her stuff, and I asked her how to livestream. She put me on her account, and the rest is history. I’ve been able to watch shows on… Continue reading A TV Aha Moment

The Serendipity of It All

(re-run) Several months ago I rented a movie the old-fashioned way from Netflix. It came in the mail as a DVD, and I proceeded to lose it in my house. Let’s blame it on the kitchen remodel.
