There's something to be said for slow and steady. It only took me 9 1/2 years to get here, but I'm happy I picked up a few likes along the way. Does this mean I'm officially "IN"?

"Come On Up"- Young Rascals

Target is running a special on Pleasant Pills this weekend...

I've long been trying to live with the commercial overkill of Christmas, seeing it's an inevitable trend that won't subside any time soon. But things really went to ridiculous lengths in 2009 when Wal-Mart had their usual holiday hype running: Christmas trees, lights, decorations, Santas and...

I have the Vince Guaraldi soundtrack, and the skating music is called... "Skating"! "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is still my favorite Xmas special. And I'm with Charlie Brown. The commercial racket Christmas has long since become (run by a big Eastern syndicate, don't you know!) can depress...

Everything runs in cycles. 10 years ago, before I came here, there was a hot spot called YesterdayLand. For about six months, it was sizzling with Generation X'ers like me discussing all our childhood trappings- tv shows, music, toys, and from about April to October 2002, it seemed to be THE...

You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old. I'm 45, but I don't feel a day over 18. I've been waiting for this middle-age crisis to hit, but if it hasn't come yet, it probably never will. I was around when Sesame Street was brand-spankin'new, when Oscar was orange and Grover...

The Colonial Penn commercials are almost as hard to watch. (Although the actresses involved probably think Alex Trebek is a hottie!) The Whole Life insurance they're trying to sell is a huge rip-off (buy Term instead, folks) and the cash value they say you can build up and borrow against...

If you "slept like a baby", wouldn't that mean you woke up drooling and needed to change yourself? And actually, wouldn't the same analogy apply if you were in your nineties?

For any fan of the Monster cereals- FrankenBerry, Count Chocula, Boo Berry, (and limited edition) Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy, if there is a Target store close to you, get there ASAP. Their Halloween promotion is over, and the Monster cereals they sell only at this time of year have been put on...

My wife Sharon, who has known me for almost 20 years now (married for 13) , been with me through sickness and health, and we've grown closer the more we let God into our lives. And my best friend Nancy, artistic collaborator, puppet-builder, inker and painter, who helped bring a number of...

Join the club. (Check out my rant a few posts back). Facebook can bring out the most narcissistic tendencies in people, (I gotta post 9 million pictures of my kid pooping his pants! Ain't he precious?), and others are willing to start feuds over the most pointless crap. And people will join in...

Even if the Munsters got ignored, Antenna TV ran a Bewitched marathon over the last two days. It would've been interesting if the Munsters lasted one more season, they probably would've switched over to Color. Imagine the visual feast that would've been.

"Twilight Alehouse"- Genesis If anyone besides charlietheowl has ever heard this one, more power to ya.

Who knew he would become such an egomaniac? I thought he was precocious way back in the days of "Doogie Howser" (although his voice fit well on "Capitol Critters"). But I thought he'd just be another child actor/casualty that would have his 15 minutes of fame and slip into obscurity. Maybe...

Took his last Walk on the Wild Side.

Alex Trebek would be the first to give you heck in the neck about "Kih-beck".

I have a small army of cats. We've taken in a number of strays over the years. Some of them had kittens, and we find good homes for them. We keep as many as we can, giving them a better life than fending for themselves outside. Our current family is seven (yes, seven!) Abbie, Wendy, Bonnie...

Back in 1984, I was the art editor of our high school literary magazine. Our English teacher/advisor was going to treat our staff to a Broadway show. We had a choice of "Little Shop of Horrors" or "Cats". I was stoked about seeing "Little Shop..", but unfortunately that fell through and we had...

Did you have a chance to check out this month's cover of MAD magazine?
