CHRISTMAS “FUNNIES”
Remember the “funnies”. At least, that is what we called them. I don’t think newspapers have a “funnies” page anymore, do they? That is what I would tell Daddy to pass to me when he was reading The Atlanta Journal on Sunday mornings at the breakfast table. It was the ONLY thing I would readContinue reading “CHRISTMAS “FUNNIES””
MY CHRISTMAS GIFT TO YOU….

PAUL PEDULLA – ARTIST (AND WRITER)
Paul Pedulla is my cousin-in-law. This post honors Paul as an Artist. He and Steve were cousins and also good friends.

AUGUST 9, 2018 – STEVE ORLANDELLA, INTERMENT
Where do I begin? It is only August 18, and I feel like I have lived several lifetimes during this month. It started on Monday, July 31st. I had one of those “a-ha” moments in which I knew I had to get Steve’s ashes to Boston ASAP. What was the rush? I don’t know. AllContinue reading “AUGUST 9, 2018 – STEVE ORLANDELLA, INTERMENT”
COMFORT ZONES
Between you and me, I don’t think I have any comfort zones anymore. Steve and I had created a comfort zone together, and were very happy, writing, working, and eating “comfort food” – pasta, Steve’s gravy, and his special homemade meatballs along with olives, baguettes, salami, and fresh ground parmesan cheese or Romano. We didContinue reading “COMFORT ZONES”
A BASEBALL MEMORY
In the midst of all the chaos going on in the world, especially in my United States, it is good to remember constants that bring us together. Like baseball. Apple pie. Hot dogs. Even though baseball is in “full swing” right now, I need to post this video. It makes me feel good when theContinue reading “A BASEBALL MEMORY”
