The ABBA song Mamma Mia was released in 1975. The musical Mamma Mia premiered 24 years later in 1999. Since the musical has now been running for 27 years, it has been around longer than the time between the song and the musical.

I've begun rereading Look Homeward, Angel, and I'm finding it as breathtakingly masterful as I did 40 years ago. #ThomasWolfe

A library card will help your budget. I have thoughts on four of the five but I'll spare you. 🙂

Sorry to learn of Don Nelson's death. Our families lived down the street from each other when I was growing up and he played for the Celtics. I used to bike by there all the time. www.newsweek.com/sports/nba/h...

Thor: They Strike from Space. It was packaged in a board game I received as a gift. It made me a comic book reader and buyer. And I still have it, and all of the comic books I bought in the '60s and early '70s.

Ah yes. I found one of the middle books to be draggy, but the series as a whole excellent.

Watching the Tony Awards makes me consider auditioning for a community theatre show again, after I thought I was done.

I don't like an overwhelming quantity of Lord of the Rings, but I can stand a Tolkien amount.

I was excited to watch the Artemis II launch. I feel like that makes me an old-timer — "When we watched the Apollo launches..."

I was going to make a clever post, but then I realized that no everything that comes into your head needs to be shared with the world.

The first Red Sox spring training game, with Joe Castiglione no less, was just what I needed as a reminder that spring will come someday.

I have mad DJ skills, by which I mean I can crossfade, make great, segues, and slip-cue LP tracks. Man, I'm old.

I would like to work this week but our plowing service hasn't been here and doesn't respond to phone calls or texts. We've turned to Plan B — cross your fingers.

Wouldn't it be cool if snow falling came with a musical accompaniment that reflected the mood of the storm?

No one has phoned me so far this year. Or texted me for that matter.
