Father's Day Movies

Keep it simple for Father’s Day. A gift, a barbecue and when the mosquitoes get too bad, keep the party going inside with few movies, handpicked by moi! Caddyshack – When I say oldie but goodie, I mean that from the heart. This “battle of the classes” comedy set on the golf course delivers equal parts comedy, drama with a teeny bit of romance on the side. Although a bit dated, it will still make you laugh with the likes of Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, and Bill Murray’s “Cinderella Story” groundskeeper. Don’t forget the groundhog! You’ll laugh. Field of Dreams – “If you build it, they will come”. Redemption story plus father/son bonding fantasy, this movie will draw a tear from Dad’s eye. Superb actors such as Ray Liotta, James Earl Jones and Burt Lancaster create a film that highlights the power of second chances. You’ll cry. The Shawshank Redemption –… Continued

Football Fridays – Father's Day Edition

Happy Friday everyone! My previous plan was to discuss the Tim Tebow and the New England Patriots situation, but that has already been done to death – I’m not going to add anything that isn’t already out there. So, with Father’s Day this Sunday, and given how many fathers love football, I decided to take a look at some father/son football families. Howie Long, Chris Long, Kyle Long Howie Long is not known for his rapping, but he’s known for being one of the most fearsome defensive lineman in his thirteen seasons with the Oakland Raiders, matching his career high of thirteen sacks in a season. Chris Long, his oldest son is a defensive end for the St. Louis Rams and his middle son, Kyle Long was drafted by the Chicago Bears this year. Oliver Luck and Andrew Luck Oliver Luck spent

Football Fridays – Running Backs

Running backs, also known as halfback or fullbacks (this depends on the size of the player), is sometimes the most visible player on the field. Overall, they also may have the best physique (read: hot bods) in the NFL. Wide receivers are a close second. From the Free Online Dictionary: running back n. Football An offensive back, such as a fullback or halfback, who has the responsibility of advancing the ball by running with it on plays from the line of scrimmage. Whenever you see the quarterback hand off the football, it’s usually to a running back. If you polled a hundred football fans and asked which was the sexiest position on the team, excluding the quarterback, I reckon most would say the running back. Good running backs are hard to come by and they wear themselves out quickly on the field. The position is a taxing one because it

June is National Candy Month

June is National Candy Month. This is a mouth-watering topic if I’ve ever seen one. Yes, I am a grown adult, but there’s something about indulging in childhood candy that sends you back in time. So, grab your Walkman and if you want to go further back, get that Aqua Net hairspray to make those Farrah Fawcett angel wings. Here’s some candy to take you back. When I say candy, I don’t mean the chocolate grown-up chocolate stuff. I’m talking about the brightly-colored, artificially-flavored, red dye #20398 colored candies that left your tongue coated with color and your head buzzing with all the high fructose corn syrup. Lemonheads: Sweet, sour and oh so crunchy. Take these sweet, yellow balls into your mouth and roll them around on your tongue until they dissolve, or if you’re in a hurry, scrape the sour coating off to get to the sweet, hard center.

Retro Saturday – Eighties Female Singers

I had a wonderful conversation on Facebook the other day. A FB friend of mine mentioned that her radio station had asked the question : Lisa Lisa (and Cult Jam) vs. Klymaxx. That started a thread of conversation that sent me digging through my piles of old cassettes. Now, I do love Lisa Lisa, so much so that I have two albums on CASSETTE, as you can see to your left. But Klymaxx was an all-girl group with the fierce Bernadette Cooper at the helm. They did the very sexy and strut-worthy “Meeting in the Ladies Room”, the know-I-got-it “The Men All Pause” and the heartfelt “I Miss You” just make me want to flip my asymmetrical hairdo and get down. Let’s not forget our friend, introduced to us by Prince, Sheila E. An accomplished drummer, she brought her vocals to Erotic City, The Glamorous Life and A Love Bizarre.
