A Moment of Reflection The Bruins will be playing North Carolina in the Sweet 16 this Friday. In 1968 they met in the NCAA Championship game at the Sports Arena and UCLA won 101-69. Wooden’s fourth title. I was at the game with my 6 year old son Danny. The more interesting game was the […]
This is something I constantly forget to do. Recently I checked and there was an email from my office that the computer thought was spam, some important information from NMLS, and a newsletter from Tristan Ahumada. Those should not be in spam. Also, I have some categories entitled promotions, updates, social and forums that I […]
All of the prognosticators in the film industry are now posting their ideas on Oscar winners. Most of them are not very good. If you want good information for your yearly Oscar poll, you would be better off checking the Screen Actors, Directors, Producers, and all the other Guilds. There is a more interesting source. […]
There is an article in the Winter NAR Magazine entitled, “Purple is the New Gray or Black”. A quote: “Purple has become one of the reigning requests in the increasingly colorful world of home design”. Other colors becoming popular include khaki green, taupe, teal, kelly green, peaches and orange. Just all too confusing. And I just […]
The property is called THE ONE. In Bel-Air it is said to be 105,000 square feet with a 4,000 square foot guest house, sky deck, private theater, spa, swimming pool, four-lane bowling alley, night club, outdoor running track, moat, 21 bedrooms, and 49 bathrooms. Plus a panoramic view and much much more. We all need a […]
Duane’s Nominees The Oscar nominations came out today. The Awards will be made on ABC on March 27th. Time to start checking them out. Maybe watch something a little new. Today I would like to give my opinion of which movies I would have nominated. The Academy can award up to 10 movies, but must […]
Who Will Move Forward Four games, three decided on a game ending field goal and one went to overtime. (Will the owners ever realize how important field goal kickers are to their success and draft them and pay them well. And quit playing in Wisconsin snowstorms.) Now for the odds on who will go all […]
Something for Everyone Many groups and associations select their favorite movies of the year. The Screen Actor’s Guild is the largest industry group with 160,000 members. Since they are all actors, their picks might be fine. Many years their picks mirror the Oscars. However, last year the SAG picked The Trial of the Chicago Seven […]
TV Shows and Movies For years the Hollywood Foreign Press Association had a wonderful movie party shown on major networks when they released their Golden Globe Movie and TV Winners. Then, their world tumbled down, down, down. They were accused of lack of diversity concerning multiple different ethnicities and the gender spectrum. Also, they had […]
New Programs I beg to differ. DJ and I have been watching many programs since the famous day of March 15, 2020. One day after DJ’s birthday but the start of our personal lock-down. And many of them have been entertaining. However, so many times I can sit down with hundreds of channels and hundreds […]
