    What are you listening to?

    I know this probably isn't "vintage" by Lounge standards, but I was 7 when this song was a hit and I liked it as a kid and still do. Sweet-Ballroom Blitz-1973:eusa_clap http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=uY-r6oawxmc

    Countdown To Christmas!!

    Well, as you said, the kids hate being in the car all day long so we decided we would stay home and everyone can come to our house for Christmas. As far as being a heathen, I should have been more specific and said I don't believe the Christmas story. The holiday to me is for chidren and I...

    Countdown To Christmas!!

    Planning on staying home. I'm not much for Christmas anymore because I'm a "heathen" and the whole advertising blitz and constant referral to the holiday just makes me ill. I have two boys, one 10 one 7, and a 2 year old daughter and the holiday is all about them. We used to try going to my...

    Feeling self conscious.

    I like the vintage style but the only vintagey things I have are my Churchill Fedora and a USWings Indy style leather jacket. I have no problem wearing the jacket, but feel that when I wear the fedora the rest of my clothes make me look wrong. Should I quit worrying and just wear the hat no...

    What should you drink with your favorite hat?

    I'm practically a teetotaler, having a couple of drinks a year maximum, so it's usually water.

    What did you do in the war Daddy...?

    When I would come home on leave, I'd meet with Dad and we'd go to his favorite bar. One of the regulars was a man everyone called "Horse". Nice grandfather type, very quiet and pleasant. After we left the first time I met Horse, Dad told me that he had been a Marine at Guadalcanal and some...

    Elm Road Twin Drive-in Theatre

    There were 5 within a 3 mile radius of me until the '80's, then slowly they all were closed except for the one I posted about. One was bulldozed for a shopping center.:(

    Your favourite commercials

    I remember seeing this on tv during the superbowl 1984. I was 17. I thought it was great at the time as I had read "1984" the year before and because of all the hype leading up to the new year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=HhsWzJo2sN4

    J. Edgar - New Flm with Leonardo DiCaprio

    I didn't like it. Most movie makers try to get you involved in the movie by making you care about the characters one way or another. Maybe that wasn't a concern in this movie because in the end I had no feelings whatsoever for any of the characters which made me feel empty when I left the...

    Elm Road Twin Drive-in Theatre

    Here's a few photos of a drive-in theatre that we would go to a lot when I was a kid. Some are old photos, others more recent. Grand opening advertsing 1950. Shot from across the street with what appears to be a '57 Mercury in the foreground. I'm pretty sure this is a shot of a...

    11 Sounds your kids probally don't recognize

    Rest In Peace John F. Kennedy

    I was born in '66 so obviously I wasn't around on November 22 '63, but when I was about 8 years old, I ran across two books at my Grandmother's house. "The Torch is Passed" and "Four Days" were two pictorial acounts of the assassination that were prnited in 1964. These books had quite an...
