In my spare time, I listen to music (I have a large CD and vinyl record library). I walk, and I work out at the gym. I enjoy books with cool characters and clever plotlines (Stephen King, for example). And, I'm turning my dirtbike into an on-road motorcycle. So look out, here I come! Feel free to visit The Night Shift's Facebook page for lots of album covers vinyl, and other cool stuff as a companion to the show.

English vs Modern English in NJ
You might say...that we have our own way of saying things here in New Jersey.
Having said that, let's play a game that I'm calling "English vs Modern English."
Ready?
English: "Oops...I really screwed that up."
Modern English: "My bad...

In COVID-19 times, old toys are new again
Old TV series and game shows are being remade.
Vinyl record sales are on the rise. New, and used, vinyl.
Thanks to COVID-19, nostalgia is (and continues to be) bigger than ever.
It makes us smile...it makes us feel good.
And that is before we get to toys...

Fruit Squares dessert
Here's an easy dessert that will be a favorite with your family, too.
Back in the '90s, at the radio station in Philadelphia, from time to time we'd have a staff lunch, where everyone would bring something. Once, I made these "fruit squares...

The Christmas without our cat
When I was in first grade, the neighbor's cat had kittens.
I really loved playing with those kitties...and Rene promised that I could have one.
Now, I just had to convince my parents.
No small feat at that age, especially since our "pets" was a tank of topical fish...

The story behind Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas”
"White Christmas"
Its the most popular Christmas record of all time. And, it has quite a history.
There are several versions of this classic. But this now-classic song was seen and heard for the first time, in the movie "Holiday Inn" in 1941...
