Old Schoolhouses

In touring a coastal Mid-Atlantic seaport village, my Mom came upon a small one room schoolhouse complete with authentic period of time school furniture. People forget how many of them existed well into the middle of the last century in remote rural areas. The building would have made a perfect set for movies like High [...]

Smile For The Camera

We were looking at pictures taken on our annual camping trip. They’re all digital photos and we watched them on the television through our FIOS modem. I hadn’t really noticed that my brother LB2 never smiled often, especially when the camera was pointed in his direction. It’s because he’s having so many problems with his [...]

Vacation commercials

I’ve noticed that I haven’t seen any television commercials advertising great travel deals in a while. I think a channel of nothing but special offers and last minute deals would be well received. It would have the ability to show pictures and videos of the destinations. And people love to save money so they’d definitely [...]

You’ll find gambling at casinos, at big hotels such as the Stratosphere hotelĀ and in restaurants. You can even find slot machines at the airport! I [...]

Criss Angel’s Believe

Criss Angel’s Cirque du Soleil show Believe opened recently. If I found myself in the neighborhood of the Las Vegas strip, I’d be very tempted to check out Criss’ new show. We loved him on Mindfreak. I’m curious about this show though, because to me it looks like it’s not so much a magic or [...]

What documents do tv characters have?

I was trying to think of what documents I’ve heard mentioned on tv. We hear about driver’s licenses and the lack of them, also visas and birth certificates from time to time. When we travel we have to have a passport but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a tv character say they need or [...]

The Walt Disney World commercials

Have you ever seen any of the commercials for trips to Walt Disney World? They always seem to involve a set of parents and two kids. It always seems to be night time in the commercials and a horse drawn carriage is always involved. Without a doubt, Walt Disney World is the best of Orlando [...]

Real estate commercials

Recently my family spent a weekend in Wildwood, NJ. We watched a little television while we were there and I was surprised to see some real estate commercials. I don’t think we see those at home, and I live less than two hours away. I saw two spots for a realtor, a number of spots [...]

Love Boat

Do you remember the show the Love Boat? I used to love to watch that show ever week. I was so bummed when it was canceled. I was with a group of people recently and we were all talking about cruises and the Love Boat came up. All of us in the group have been [...]
