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 and other cool stuff as a companion to the show.

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.

Christmas lights in the rest of Craig Allen’s neighborhood

It's a "friendly competition." All in good fun.

I've been writing about these 2 displays, and posting pictures here at NJ1015...

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...

Friendly Christmas Lights Competition begins
It has begun.
Early.
Each Christmas season, my neighbors "FedEx Pat" and "Cornershow Bob" wage a "friendly" Christmas lights competition.

This simple family favorite is a...comfort desert.
The night Craig Allen met Debbie Gibson
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Standing backstage with Debbie Gibson.
I don't remember who was onstage while she waited, but Debbie was clearly enjoying the vibe from the crowd.
