"I never told my ambitions and efforts and failures to anyone. I listened unmoved to the sneers and ridicule of various relatives who thought my scribbling rank folly and waste of time. That never disturbed me at all. Down, deep down, under all discouragement and rebuff I knew I would arrive someday." - Lucy Maud Montgomery

He is Big Bird (and a part of us, too...)


It's hard not to get emotional  watching this. The man  has dedicated his life to teach us  and to give us great childhood memories. Can't wait to see this. Caroll Spinney is a true living legend.

93-year old Mary Ellis flies a Spitfire




Found this gem on YouTube. The original video is from 2010 when she was 93. You can also read a recent article published just this past March 10 about Mary Ellis, now 98 years old, who is still active and flying her precious Spitfire. Here's a link:

Mary Ellis was a Spitfire pilot in WW2. At 98, she still flies

I'll write a lot more on this, but it is 2am and I have to go to sleep!

Out and About - March 2015

I need Sherlock to find a sober person among the bunch.

Went for a stroll in Cocoa Beach, FL. Found some interesting Spring Break madness going on. You can see the maymen in the background.

"Reports, Coffee or Lunch": Marvel's Agent Carter 1x07- "Snafu" Review




Agent Carter a favorite from the Captain America movie. Happy to see Dominic Cooper back as Howard Stark, even if only for the "Previously On" bit at the start of the episode.

By the way, a quick historical tidbit: SNAFU is a WWII military slang that meant "Situation Normal, All Fucked Up (or Fouled Up). Which is basically, what happens on this episode.

Russia 1943 - Like I always say history makes everything better and a series set in the 40s made it one of my favorites before I had seen a single episode. At this point, I'm not paying a lot of attention to what their saying. We are in a medical camp in a Russian front line and they have to amputate a young soldier’s leg. And immediately we get a flashback in a flash back and already I'm wondering where Peggy Carter is. She was arrested in the last episode and I don't know who any of these people are.

Patience is not one of my strong suits.
