Silas Turns One
Friday, May 25th, 2012
The love that one has for their grandchild is unlike any other, so I was particularly pleased to be having the big celebration for Mr. Silas’ first birthday at my house. Although his official birthday wouldn’t be until the next day, Ashleigh opted to have the party on Saturday, May 5, 2012. Her Mom and I chipped in with her to help cover the pizza, and I was sent off to the store to pick up the giant Winnie the Pooh cake that morning. Christi and Ashleigh decorated the house with streamers and balloons and the guests started to roll in around 2pm. They also thoroughly cleaned the house so that the cat dander wouldn’t disturb Adam’s allergies too bad. Read the rest of this entry »
Quentin Tarentino films are somewhat of an acquired taste to be sure, and I happen to be one of those that enjoy them immensely. I found it to be quite cool to get the chance to meet a trio of Tarentino stars at the Hollywood Show on February 12, 2011. I have already discussed Jackie Brown starlet Pam Grier 
It had been a bit of a rough night to get through since both Silas and I had colds. I did some snoring and Silas did quite a bit of waking up. But regardless of our exhaustion and colds, it didn’t stop us from making the most of second day at the parks of Walt Disney World on Monday, April 16, 2012. Unfortunately, we didn’t get off to that great of a start that morning. I had decided in advance not to try and run around the parks like a madman, sucking in every ride opportunity possible. For one reason, I had been visiting the Disney parks a lot lately, so it was easy to be more accommodating to what the others wanted to do. For a second reason, I’m just getting older. 
Cameron Dye’s biggest claim-to-fame was in his portrayal of Nicolas Cage’s buddy in the 1983 teen comedy Valley Girl. It’s true that the film was kind of fun and I enjoyed it for what it was: a pile of crap. But having said that, my main impetus for purchasing a signed photo of Cameron Dye was the fact that he had played the role of Sam Phelan in two episodes of Smallville. You see… Superman connections pretty much always trump raunchy teen poo.
