     On January 3rd, I saw the movie Song Sung Blue at the AMC in Mountainside with some friends of mine. It was about Lightning and Thunder who were a famous Neil Diamond tribute band. They were composed of married couple Mike and Claire Sardina.   The movie starts out with Mike Sardina as a Don Ho impersonator at the Wisconsin State fair. He wants to perform as himself and refuses to go onstage as Don Ho. He quits.  He meets Claire Stingl who is a Patsy Cline impersonator. After she sings "Walking after midnight" Claire and Mike discuss future plans as a Neil Diamond tribute act. They soon fall in love. Claire tells Mike that she is divorced with two children. Mike discloses that he battled alcohol addiction and he is sober for 20+ years. They soon get married.  Mike is friends with Mark Shurilla who used to be a Buddy Holly impersonator. Mark is now the guitarist for the Neil Diamond tribute band, Lightning and Thunder. Lightning and Thunder have success...

Photo by Libby Penner on Unsplash Thanksgiving has been one of my favorite holidays. You get to see family members and go prepare for the holidays. Thanksgiving is about being thankful around that time. I am thankful for family, friends, Broadway musicals, movies and my dog Harley.  During Thanksgiving I like to spend time with my family. I sometimes go to my cousin Nancy's house in Atlantic Highlands, NJ. I enjoy eating turkey, potatoes, cranberry sauce, and green bean casserole. My favorite desert on Thanksgiving is pumpkin pie.  This time of year people get gifts for the holidays. People go to the mall and get gifts for family members and friends. They do that before or after Thanksgiving. My favorite malls are the Bridgewater Commons, Willowbrook Mall and the Mall in Short Hills.  Me and my friend, Michael at the Willowbrook Mall Bridgewater Commons spreading some joy!

We went apple picking and I got some apples, We went on a tractor ride as well to get to the orchards.  The tractor ride at Riamede Farm.  Myself with a fresh apple.  Let me tell you about Halloween.

   On Wednesday, September 17th, I saw the Long Walk at the AMC in West Orange. It was based on a novel written by Stephen King. Many of his works were turned into movies and TV Shows.  It was about the United Sates being taken over by a military regime. A second Civil War has happened and the US is in ruins.  The leader of the regime is called the Major. It is unknown about what is real name is. Every year e runs event called the Long walk. Many teenage boys are selected at random to participate. The young people start at the Canadian border for the Long Walk. Ray Garraty was one of these boys that was selected. He meets the other people such as Richard Harkness, Peter McVires, Arthur Baker, Hank Olsen, Collie Parker, etc. Ray and Peter form a close bond. The Major gives the young men water and rations. He said that the rules are if the contestants stop they will get three warnings and than they will get killed. The Major stated that they walk until there is one of ...

  Summer 2025 was great. I was in Long Beach Island, NJ from July 25-August 1 2025. It was me, my mom, my dog Harley, my sister, my brother and his girlfriend. We rented a beach home at North Beach in LBI. It was right by Harvey Cedars. It also had beach access and we went to the beach to swim in the ocean.  We did a lot of amazing things in LBI. Me, my dog Harley and my mom went to Sunset Park in Harvey Cedars. We also saw sunsets there. It was breathtaking! Me, Jared, Abbie and Jaime went mini golfing in Jen's Link's. It is a mini golf place in Barnaget Light. It is a big mini golf corse and we had fun.  We even went out to dinner at the Black Whale seafood restaurant. It is a popular seafood spot in Beach Haven. Me, my mom, my brother and his girlfriend went. I had some lobster there and it was so fresh!  After dinner, we went to Fantasy Island. It is a small amusement park in the same town, which is Beach Haven. We went on some of the rides and played the games. ...

 Dogs are my favorite animal. It was even my first word when I was a baby. I find dogs to be beautiful and cuddly. I had a dog named Kipper, who sadly passed away.  Currently, I have a dog named Harley. Harley runs around outside when the weather is nice. She is crazy. My dog Harley sitting on my bed. My dog Harley is a Cockapoo. She likes to play with her toys and eat a lot of dog food. She is six years old, turning seven in December. She came with us on family vacations to Long Beach Island, NJ last year and the year before. I also follow a few dog pages on Instagram. One of them is Sunday, the Golden Retriever. She is very expressive and is a beautiful, brown-eyed baby. Her posts show her howling, the a-woo seal of approval. She makes me smile. The other dog I follow is Comet. She is sneaky thief who sometimes take things. I saw a post where she took some paper plates. That was one of the funniest things ever. I also follow Luna the mini-Cockapoo. It's about her owner askin...
