I was a camp counselor all the way through college. It was a great job for me. For the last two summers, all I did was take kids hiking and backpacking. You have to be careful when you sign up for camp counselor jobs because you typically get charged room and board at the end of the summer, so you need to check that…

The first time my son wanted to hold my hand so we could cross a street. This little fellow, trusted me with his life!   

It makes sense to avoid plumbing during a thunderstorm.   I can’t imagine a better path to ground than plumbing.    Even the CDC says to avoid plumbing: https://www.cdc.gov/disasters/lightning/faq.html

We used to do this back in the sixties and seventies with hiking boots and jeans to get them to fit better. Jeans used to shrink a lot and it was kind of hit or miss if they would end up a good fit after the first washing or not.

I watched it (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom)  last night. I thought it was the best movie I had seen all year.   Chadwick Boseman is incredible.

Why am I reminded of the Salem witch trials?  

I went back to college in 1978. The first day of school, I pulled into the school parking lot BLASTING “Runnin’ With The Devil”. I remember I was pounding out the beat on the steering wheel.   This really cute girl spotted me and came over to my car laughing.  My first college friend and we’re still friends 42 years…

Those were the days, my friend..

I have to recommend two movies I love, “Cinema Paradiso” and “Amarcord”. Now if only the bean counters at AT&T and Comcast can work something out, we can watch all these great movies!

Oh yeah, Brown Bread, Fenway Franks cooked in B&M Boston Baked Beans and you’ve got a Saturday night party going on.   

I also remember that if someone stole a glass mug, the carhops got docked $10 so the carhops kept careful track of who had glass mugs.   Being a carhop was the first job for several of my friends. 

An A&W root beer float!  The king of the root beer floats!

I just enjoy reminding Jets fans how much their team sucks. Let’s watch the Butt Fumble (it’s in Wikipedia!)

Is Comcast going to carry Disney+?   I can’t find that information in any of the announcements.   

I don’t think you used the word “Mastermind” properly here..

Damn white people...

My favorite “Parts Unknown” was the snorkeling trip to Sicily where the fishing trip people threw frozen dead octopuses into the water when Tony was underwater and supposed to be catching fresh octopuses.  

Both my children are going to graduate from college debt free and I don’t have a mortgage on my house.
