SummerSlam Fun!

 

 
A couple of weeks back, Kyle, his friend John, and I got together to watch the first night of SummerSlam 2026. Show was decent, company and conversation were fantastic. Definitely an awesome way to spend an afternoon. As you can tell by the first picture, Oliver was definitely the centerpiece of the festivities.

Thank You!

Have been posting every day since January, and slowly seeing my views climb. I'm so grateful. Didn't touch this blog for years, though, admittedly, for no particular reason. It's been so much fun to post again and have a creative outlet, and a space to share my passions with the world. Awesome to see my audience growing. I'm enjoying every second. A gargantuan thank you to everyone who takes time every day to peak in on my little corner of the internet. Love sharing with you guys.

August 28th!

 We finally have a release date for the complete cast recording of the 2025 London revival of Evita. It's going to be released digitally, and on vinyl, but there's still a question as to whether a CD version is in the mix. Certainly hope so. Love having physical media, just in case anything ever happens and it's no longer available. I'm also wondering if the audience is going to be included on the album, as it says it was recorded live. Don't think I would care for that too much, though I'm sure to enjoy it either way. August 28th cannot come fast enough.

Sweet Old Girls!

Very rare these days to get pictures of Lucy and Layla. Consider myself very lucky. They may be getting on in years, but they are as sweet and adorable as they ever were. Love my girls.

Spent the day with Eric in Boston a couple of weeks back. Had so much fun strolling along the beach, taking pictures, and enjoying the beautiful weather. We decided to go to the New England Aquarium. So much fun. Haven't been since I was a kid. Saw some fascinating and beautiful creatures. Finished out the day roaming downtown Boston, and had a great dinner. Another awesome trip to add to the ever growing list!

53!

That's right, another one. Finally found someone nice enough to share their copy of the Regent Park production of Evita from 2019. Performances and vocals are good, but staging and direction is atrocious. Constantly trying to reinvent the wheel is beyond unnecessary. Cannot believe that this is the production that is going to be used for the upcoming Broadway revival. So disappointing. Anyway, the whole point of this post was to say that I now have 53 Evita recordings. Collection continues to grow! Love it!

The Squared Circle: Life, Death, and Professional Wrestling

The Squared Circle: Life, Death, and Professional WrestlingThe Squared Circle: Life, Death, and Professional Wrestling by David Shoemaker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Quick professional wrestling history lesson. Couple nuggets of information that were new to me, but then quite a few that have been proven untrue. An entertaining listen either way. Decent narration.

… And Get Over It!

Built a new bridge a couple of years ago down the street from me, and finally took a stroll to check it out. Pretty cool. Side note: Got a new camera, and am loving it so far.
