I have always loved Frankie Valle and the Four Seasons. I was really happy to see that there is a Broadway Musical out about their story! I found this clip on YouTube about the Musical – featured on the David Letterman Show. I didn’t know that these guys were associated with mobsters! I hope you enjoy it!

In this troubled economy, my wife and I spend quite a bit of time looking for bargains that will help us to stretch our budget dollars.  Especially since I’ve been on the “injured list.”  So I was really excited to find the Offers.com website.  The website is chock full of freebies and discounts on a wide variety of items.  There are several different categories set up to help you find the best deal on credit cards, software, travel, clothing, and much more.

Many of the links lead to a section full of links to click to get coupon codes, but there is also a category that I’m really enjoying that is full of free things.  Like a free towel, free dog food, free fabric softener, free engine belt wear gauge, free ruler, free ice cream, free paint sample, free polishing cloths – the list goes on and on!  I think I could easily spend over an hour checking out all of the free stuff!  And this free stuff doesn’t appear to be “free trial” where you end up having to pay for something if you keep it; this is really free stuff!

I’m going to have to let my wife take a turn at looking at this site!  I’ve bookmarked it to come back to in the future.  This one is a keeper!  I’m definitely going to order the free sample of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee!  And I see a couple of free cookbooks for my wife!  I’d claim this bargain hunt time today a glorious success!

One of the things that I enjoy a lot about where we live is the fact that we have three acres of land, and live across from a large farm. On our land, about half of it is woods. We don’t really notice our neighbors very much, the landscaping has been nicely done so that their houses are not immediately visible out of most of our windows. I like the fact that at night there is no light pollution, so we can look up at the sky and see the stars. For the most part, the only sounds we hear are the sounds of the livestock from the farm across the street, or the birds singing.

One of the things that has surprised me about living out here is how many of my neighbors say that they can’t get high speed Internet at their homes. I can remember when we lived in New England we were stuck with slow dial-up, but technology has advanced considerably and now it seems that people can get high speed wild blue Internet service just about anywhere in the country!

The next time I meet someone who says that they can’t get high speed Internet at their place, I’m going to ask them if they’ve tried satellite internet. It’s worth a try!

Sometimes I wonder what parents are thinking about nowadays when they decide to name their children really crazy names.  With the popularity of video games, I have to say that I won’t be too surprised down the road in the near future to learn that a lot of babies are named after video game characters.  I can imagine that my grandaughtersmight be named Lara or Zelda!  Or my grandson’s named Link or Simon!  I don’t know anyone personally that has been named after a video game, and to be honest I haven’t heard of any famous people doing that either.  But then again I probably just don’t keep up on the celebrity news as much as a lot of people do!   As much as our son loves video games, I can imagine he might name his daughter Chun-Li!

I do find it interesting, as the business of video games evolve that people can easily download games from the Internet now, and not have to go to a brick and mortar store to buy their own copy.   The sheer number of video games out on the market now are mind-boggling!  Naturally, our son needs to have every system imaginable, and all of the role-playing games that they sell!  I think that downloading games is a good idea; our house is starting to be over-crowded with game cartridges and game CDs – storing them all has become a true challenge!

I’ve discovered some nice shepard fairey prints online at shepardfaireyprints.com, along with some pretty interesting obey giant art. I’ve never really been all that keen on art, but now and then I do see some work that catches my eye such as this collection. This shepard fairey art  is authentic and they have out of print work offers there as well.

The Internet makes appreciating and learning about artists. They have taken a lot of music and art out of schools, for budgeting issues, which is a real drag. If you aren’t brought up with art in your life and not given a chance in school to find out about it, it makes it difficult to get into later in life. If it wasn’t for what I learned in school, in art class, I really would be pretty much clueless about most art. I basically about shephard fairey art because of his famous Obama HOPE poster that became so popular during last year’s election, how can anyone forget this classic?
