Back for more........

I knew that it had been quite some time since my last post. The holidays got in the way and later my own inertia took command. Its not like I had nothing to share...write about. But have been working a lot of overtime, mandatory AND voluntary. Got to pay for that "liquid gold" (home heating oil) somehow.

And then I got to thinking about my purpose for writing. Its here I hope to talk about collectibles and the like. But also the things that matter to me and possibly to you as well.
Memory lane type of topics and whatever strikes my fancy.

Perhaps there will be enough of myself on here...that years down the road....if my grandson chooses to read my archives he gets to understand what made "Grampy" tick.

So maybe instead of focusing on a long and involved topic..perhaps more will be said with less words and shorter paragraphs. More likely to contribute when I am not looking to write something deeply profound.

A former joy re-discovered has been in watching some 3 Stooges dvds. Brandan is 5 now and has quickly become a fan of these crazy comics. Of course, I explained that you cannot really smack a person on the head with a hammer in real life. They are using movie props, etc.
You can rest assured that advisory is mentioned frequently...:D
Watching these comic shorts anew after a long hiatus has brought me to a new level of appreciation for not only the Stooges themselves, but for their comrades in comedy...the supporting players. Actors such as Vernon Dent, Bud Jamison and Emil Sitka to name the most prominent players. Do yourselves a favor and get a bit acquainted with them not only on video, but also IMDB.com . I learn a lot about these and other actors using that site.

Nuff said for now.....
