This is a full comedy special that I found on YouTube. I love Bill Burr. I hope you have a great Friday!!
Enjoy this one. It’s in New York. I saw him live in Detroit and the guy does not disappoint, not to mention he’s on stage for usually an hour plus!
Have a great weekend, folks!
Until next time…

Well, folks, my sister and I finished The Sopranos yesterday. Wow, what a great show. We started re-watching Season 4 of Ozark to get ready for the second part, which starts tomorrow on Netflix. We can’t wait!!
I’m reading yet another Remo Williams Book in The Destroyer Series. The title is Bottom Line. Again, a great series of stories which never disappoint.
In the gaming realm, Season 4: Wild Dogs started today in Call of Duty Mobile, They have introduced some new challenges, the melee weapon Kali Sticks, and a whole host of new characters including a new skin for the Ghost player. There’s also a new map dropping called Satellite. It’s going to be great fun! I completed one of the new challenges yesterday.
My sister and I often talk about things while we hang out watching TV. One of the things I suggested was a hobby. Everyone needs a hobby. Something to look forward to after work or chores, or whatever you do that you consider work. I look forward to my game time after I’ve finished my tasks for the day. Painting, crafting, hiking, or whatever just wakes you up each day is something to consider. We all need balance in our lives. Hobbies are a terrific way to pass the time and enjoy life.
Well, that’s all I got for today. If you haven’t watched Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, or Ozark, I highly recommend all of them. They are terrific! If you’re into mobile gaming, give Call of Duty a whirl, it is an awesome game and the creativity these guys bring to the table is unbelievable. I have never been disappointed.
Well, that’s it for now. Have a great Thursday everybody!
Until next time…

The dresses I wore are in the Smithsonian now.
I would like to do a nice comedy/drama feature with a good part, but nobody’s asked me to do a film. Maybe it’s because they don’t know what to do with a guy in a dress.
Before ‘M*A*SH*,’ people in the industry didn’t know what to do with this guy with the big nose.
It’s amazing how people will treat you better when you’re ‘somebody.’ The minute clerks in a store recognize me, they suddenly rush to take care of me. That irritates me.
You can’t explain why people are friends and why those friendships last, but there certainly is magic in it. It’s just something that you treasure.
For those of you who are old enough, “Klinger” was a great character in the M.A.S.H. series. I used to watch this show with my dad when I was growing up. Here’s Jamie’s Wikipedia page, if you’d like to learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Farr
I hope you are having a great Wednesday!
Until next time…

Today’s lesson is about the various numbers that have been banned in various periods and how numbers today are also protected or banned from use. I hope you enjoy this one. I found it intriguing and I learned a few things.
Have a great Tuesday, folks!

Weather can be a real demotivator. Do you know anyone that is impacted adversely by the weather. My Mother get’s migraines when it get’s stormy. My sister’s mood is impacted by the “dark” months during Michigan’s Winters, because of the heavy cloud cover we have most of the time. Weather can be a real drag if you are impacted this way.
How do you overcome it? Mom just deals with it. My sister has a sun lamp she uses to help her get more sun. It is interesting to learn how everyone learns to accept and deal with their ailments.
For me, weather was a demotivator in the military. Why? Because I lived in it. I had no ability to escape the elements, other than wear the issued gear we were provided with. But, that did not stop the freezing rain, snow storms, or the mud we dealt with. I turned my dislike of bad weather around psychologically, by digging in even more when the elements were against us. It also prompted me to buy a portable butane stove, sold by a military store. What a godsend. Hot coffee will always take away the chill.
Many authors I have read suggest we take our good weather with us. Despite the rain, the snow, or whatever else, we take our good mood with us. So make the best of your circumstances and dig in. The bad weather will pass and you’ll have accomplished a great deal in the meantime.
Have a great Monday, folks!
Until next time…

I qualified for the second stage of the CODM World Championship. It’s really cool that they open these tournaments up to anyone. I’m currently at the Master Stage, leaving only Grandmaster and Legendary left to accomplish. There were also 8 challenges this season. Those were great fun and dropped some mean loot.
I’m reading a new Remo Williams book called Bottom Line. It is yet another story where Remo and Chiun are saving the U.S. from some horrible threat. As you can tell, I really enjoy these books!
My sister and I are in season 6 of The Sopranos, the final season. Since we just discovered that the new Ozark season is starting soon, we are putting off Game of Thrones and will watch that one next. No spoilers, folks, but The Sopranos has been an awesome ride!
Well, that’s it folks! I hope you have a great Thursday!
Until next time…

I think technology gives the illusion that you are connecting with people, social media particularly.
It’s not necessarily bad that you have angst or you have anger – it’s what you do with it, how you interpret it into something profoundly moving.
The one thing that I know from the personal experiences that I’ve had with hackers and from people in tech who are brilliant at this thing, is there’s a lot of angst.
I did not love going out to parties or even get-togethers, really – I went to the movies, which, if you think about it, is an isolating experience anyway – and this was because I had anxiety about interacting with people.
I used to want to be a critic. I think it’s an awesome job. You get to watch all this stuff and then write about it and analyze it and give insight into it. That’s an amazing job. I was terrible at it, though.
To me Sam’s most notable work is Mr. Robot. If you haven’t seen it, it’s definitely worth a watch. Here’s his Wikipedia link to learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Esmail
Have a great Wednesday, folks!
Until next time…
