February 10, 2024

In Part One of Thumbs in the Vault – The Siskel & Ebert Reviews You Weren’t Meant to See we enjoyed our first chance to read some of the film reviews by Siskel and Ebert that mysteriously “vanished” and were never shown on television.

January 22, 2024

What Famous Love Ballads Mean to Beaver Cleaver He's Only Just Begun

January 6, 2024

Golly, isn’t it something when a song starts playing, and whoosh! You’re like a time traveler, zooming back to when life was as sweet as Mom’s apple pie. Just like that tune “We’ve Only Just Begun” by The Carpenters, it reminds me of starting new adventures, like the time Wally and I decided to build that fort in the backyard. Or “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston, gosh, it’s like when you have to say goodbye to a best pal, but you know deep down, you’ll always be friends. And hey, remember “Longer” by Dan Fogelberg? It’s like those endless summer days, playing catch until the streetlights come…

December 3, 2023

Euell Gibbons was an outdoorsman and early health food advocate who promoted eating wild foods during the 1960s. He was a forager and became an expert on the nourishment aspects of survival in the wilderness. He was also known for his Grape-Nuts cereal commercials in the 1970s. Much to his chagrin, Euell was given a new weekly podcast where he entertained callers’ questions, followed by his unique approach to dispensing sound nutritional advice. The kind that originates on a forest floor, not in a nutritionist’s office. Let’s listen in… Well, I’ll be! Welcome, you good-for-nothings, to another episode of “Foraging for Your Life” where we talk about real food, not…

July 5, 2023

“The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off” — Gloria Steinem The entertainment industry was rocked this week when Rocky the Flying Squirrel was arrested and put on trial for distributing “questionable” tabs of LSD at the infamous Woodstock Music Festival from August 15–18, 1969. Even though it’s been 54 years since the alleged incident, many baby boomer concert-goers are still angry about how they became violently ill, incapacitated, and transported to another universe after swallowing one of those strange brown tabs from that strange brown squirrel.
