Driving to an indoor field hockey play day at Chelsea Piers, the Welcome to CT sign proclaims then as the "Pizza Capital". When did that happen? NY and NJ didn't even get a chance to apply?

Waiting on that delayed opening text/call because it'll be single digits at the bus stop most of the week... (yes, we have a precedent for this in my neck of the woods) #FingersCrossed

There will always be something about building Legos that is wildly therapeutic. Especially when they are Star Wars ones.

My youngest had all her wisdom teeth removed this morning. No viral videos of random gibberish, so I'm not retiring yet I guess.

Did the Rams leave all their points at the Bills game? Let's go!

Rams fan (me) versus Bills fan (my wife). I'm happy so far. Lots of game left though.

And just like that, all evidence of Thanksgiving has been cleaned up, replaced with Christmas. The outside of the house, however, remains untouched. Thank goodness.

Finally noticing that Grolsch 6-packs don't have that trademark flip-top anymore. Wonder why...

Snow Day number one.

submitted 98 days ago • 0 comments

Wet snow here. We ran tests of our school alert system today for "just in case". That means, every middle schooler today thinks we are getting 1-12" tonight.

Snow tomorrow night? Really? (Sorry, that's as exciting as it gets right now in NW NJ.)

Thanks for the follow @opiebluesky.bsky.social - enjoyed the radio days, and lurk on the streams and posts when I can. Keep doing your thing!

#MusicAdvent2023, Merry Christmas & sorry for the lags in posting. Ugh. But it's done now! "Nowhere to Run" open.spotify.com/track/2x4ViP... "Baby Please Don't Go" open.spotify.com/track/5WUgOO... "What a Wonderful World" open.spotify.com/track/4Z7bcU... From the movie Good Morning Vietnam

#musicadvent2023 - Days 21 & 22 The movie, oddly enough, that steered me towards doing college radio even after I graduated. Leonard Cohen, "Everybody Knows" - open.spotify.com/track/4SV5AR... The Pixies, "Wave of Mutilation" - open.spotify.com/track/3uUWbd... From the movie Pump Up the Volume

#musicadvent2023, Day 20 Ferris Bueller was an important movie, for me at least. Not just because you lived vicariously through a day of ditching, but because it helped me find Morrissey and The Smiths. The Dream Academy, "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" open.spotify.com/track/0smzrl...

#musicadvent2023, Day 19 Journey, "Any Way You Want It" - from the movie Caddyshack open.spotify.com/track/6g9H9e...

#MusicAdvent2023, Day 18 Maybe I'll be back on track! Another song I never heard until I saw the movie. Iggy Pop, "Lust for Life" - from Trainspotting open.spotify.com/track/21YxK0...

#MusicAdvent2023, Days 15-17 (bday wknd) Shirley & Lee, "Let the Good Times Roll" - open.spotify.com/track/48UygV... Del-Vikings, "Whispering Bells" - open.spotify.com/track/146DRo... Ben E. King, "Stand By Me" - open.spotify.com/track/2lzbKV... From the movie Stand By Me

#MusicAdvent2023, Days 13 & 14 Appreciated this flick when I was older. Same with The Furs (missed the boat on them growing up)! Otis Redding, "Try a Little Tenderness" - open.spotify.com/track/36AlMH... The Psychedelic Furs, "Pretty in Pink" - open.spotify.com/track/1K1TFd...

#MusicAdvent2023 - Days 11 & 12 (wow I've been slacking) Fun movie, pretty quality soundtrack of covers! Marilyn Manson, "Tainted Love" - open.spotify.com/track/1ANc3O... Goldfinger, "99 Red Balloons" - open.spotify.com/track/4iHITB... from Not Another Teen Movie

#MusicAdvent2023, Day 10 The record store scene was such a slick scene. This movie reminded me of Trainspotting, but kinder and gentler... and that's probably doing it a disservice. Fun one. Aphrodite, "Stalker" - from Human Traffic open.spotify.com/track/0yz4J1...

#MusicAdvent2023, Day 9 So many songs I sadly heard for the first time in this fun movie. Always good for a repeat watch! Bob and Earl, "Harlem Shuffle" - from the movie Baby Driver open.spotify.com/track/2TJhS6...

#MusicAdvent2023, Days 7 & 8 Sometimes you need a rest. Hackers was a guilty pleasure movie for me, future familiar names and lots of electronic music. Stereo MC's, "Connected" - open.spotify.com/track/5tXWXb... The Prodigy, "One Love" - open.spotify.com/track/6kDHPM...

#MusicAdvent2023, Day 6 Rocky 3 wasn't the only movie to have professional wrestling in it and still be a fun watch! Queen, "Princes of the Universe" - from the movie Highlander. open.spotify.com/track/0Uy8lc...

#musicadvent2023, Day 5 Decided to give my better half the song choice today. Olivia Newton-John, "Hopelessly Devoted to You" from the movie Grease. open.spotify.com/track/5BUq9b...

#MusicAdvent2023, Day 4 Wildly underrated movie, and so was the soundtrack. Dance Hall Crashers, "Enough" - from the movie Angus. open.spotify.com/track/7ct9EN...
