Finding the Good in Everyday Life
It’s very easy to think that there is no more goodness or kindness in the world, especially in a year like 2020. If not downright hateful, I think most people at least reached peak crankiness this year. And it was exhausting. Maybe it just seems like it’s harder to find or see human kindness these [...]
I know I already wrote a post about We Rate Dogs recently, but their annual tribute to “The Dogs of 2020” just can’t be ignored. I don’t know about you, but dogs are one of the things that helped me keep it together this year. If you haven’t already, you seriously need to follow We [...]
Remember when you were a kid and you got a snow day (depending on where you lived), and you didn't have to go to school? One of the best memories of childhood. Even if your snowman was not real great and got a bunch of mud on it (talking about a friend of mine, not [...]
The better the song, the better the musical flash mob. So man, you can't do a whole lot better than "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes. A group called CityRocks in Hungary put this together with 500 musicians of all ages. Have ya ever seen so many drum sets in one place? CityRocks formed [...]
Maybe the reason I like this musical flash mob video so much is because I love both Electric Light Orchestra and this song.

Guest starring Keith Hernandez as Elaine’s (and Jerry’s) potential boyfriend, you get two legendary scenes. One is the magic loogie, and the other is Vandelay Industries. Fun Fact: In [...]
I don’t remember the first time I saw Mister Rogers. He was just always there. I was one of those lucky kids born right around the time that “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” (and “Sesame Street”) came into being. And when my dad would come home from work for lunch at noontime, there was always a battle [...]
For a lot of people, me included, “Seinfeld” rises above the plethora of other sitcoms in TV history. It’s really hard for me to be channel surfing, see that an episode of “Seinfeld” is on, and not stop to watch it. And after lots and lots of really important thinking, here are my 10 favorite [...]
I remember first hearing about flash mobs several years ago when they seemed to be somewhat of a trend around the world. At the time I just kind of shrugged and thought, Well that's kind of weird. But in the years since, I've come across a few videos of musical flash mobs that I thought [...]
