When I went to college right out of high school, I chose to go to Anderson College in Anderson, Indiana. While I was there the movie Hoosiers was released. It is a basketball movie. I am not a huge fan of basketball, but I went to see this movie. Why? Well, basketball is huge in Indiana and I was in Indiana, so I went to see the movie. And I loved it! It is a David versus Goliath type of film. Spoiler alert -- the small town Hickory Huskers win the championship game against the much bigger city … [Read more...]
Bubba’s 33 gives this Boston boy a taste of home
When a friend of ours posted on Facebook he was beginning a new journey with Bubba's 33: Pizza-Burgers-Beer restaurant, I checked it out and immediately wanted to try it. The closest one to us is in Canton, and we decided to make a day of it Sunday by catching a movie and a late lunch. Wendi and I do not drink, so we were not enticed by the beer, but I am a fan of pizza, having grown up in an Italian family in an Italian neighborhood just outside Boston, and Wendi loves burgers. We were … [Read more...]

It was not too long after the curtain rose that I was caught up in the music and the story. … [Read more...]
Dad’s Birthday Movie Marathon 2018
TRADITION! TRADITION! Can't you hear Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof shout it? I can. So why do I bring it up? Well, in my family, we like our traditions, especially our birthday traditions. And maybe one of my favorites is spending the day at the movies for my dad's birthday. This year was no different, although we did go a week early. (Maybe he is going to start a new tradition of celebrating for a week, like someone else we know.) Dad's one condition was that he wanted to see Ant-Man and The … [Read more...]
Finishing My Staycation Strong with Star Wars: The Last Jedi
I am a child of the 70's, so I have been around since the beginning of Star Wars. From the first time I saw the words "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." I have watched Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, R2-D2 and C3PO grow older. Along the way they added friends and family members to their story, as did I. The one constant with them is the fight between good and evil. I probably like it so much because good triumphs over evil -- eventually. My dad, Bud, and I went to watch the latest … [Read more...]
