If you are reading this you already know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bon Jovi and have had a crush on Jon since approximately 1985. On April 7th I went to my 10th Bon Jovi concert in St Paul with my dear friend Lisa and we had a great time. One of my favorite moments from the show is when… Read more »
No, not the heavenly bodies- I am pondering the word “star” in the sense of “famous” or”celebrity”. Specifically- when did anyone who can get on TV for any reason be called a star?

This morning I had to make a quick run to the local discount store because I had a washing machine full of soggy clothes and no laundry detergent. Oops! While I was there I heard a snippet of the song “My Way” that has been recorded by many people over the years, mostly famously Frank Sinatra. Since my brain loves… Read more »
I seem to have stumbled upon the secret for getting TONS of feedback (mostly via email and Facebook) on my blog. I had no idea how many people had such strong feelings about Homecoming antics! While I still disagree with most of you on this one I am very grateful and thankful for ALL of your comments and thoughts…. Read more »
