If you ever have a bout with insomnia and need something to do, turn on CBS and watch the old reruns of the Star Trek series. What is running right now is the Star Trek – The Next Generation series, with Captain Piccard.
It is amazing to realize that this series came out over 20 years ago. Can we really be that old?

This old song from way back has been a hit for Tony Joe White for probably 30 some years. Maybe more. I think it came out in 1970 – maybe even 1969. I have a hard time placing what was going on in my life when the song came out. But I feel like I’ve heard it all my life.

Just bought the DeNiro and Pacino movie that came out on DVD called “Righteous Kill.”I always beef up my DVD collection over the summer when there’s nothing worth a hoot on TV at night.
It’s a good story line but I have to take issue with the writer giving these guys the nicknames. I don’t think every grown man needs a nickname, espcially cops. The name “Turk” and “Rooster” sound more like comedic biker names than tough guy cops.
It was written by Russell Gewirts, if you remember “Inside Man.” So I’m looking for a few more hit thrillers from this guy in the future.

Friday night used to be movie night, back in my younger days. It’s the perfect date and I used to look forward to it. Not really sure how I got out of that habit.
Tonight I want to do something different. Its been a long time since I’ve gone out to the movie theater and seen a movie on the big screen. Don’t even know what movie I want to see, but I just have the urge to get out there and see something.
Times are tough and money is tight, but life is more than just going back and forth to work and then sitting on the couch like a boob.

Sometimes you hear a wonderful singing voice and you can’t wait to tell everyone you know about it. If you ever get the chance to listen to Leslie Ellis sing, you will hear the sweetest voice in all of Nashville. This pretty lady has a marvelous voice and she won a Grammy to prove it.
You can learn more about Leslie by clicking her web site or Leslie’s myspace page. From what I read, she is working on some new songs right now and is about half way into her next CD. I can’t wait to hear the whole CD when it’s finished and released.
