    • Old TV Shows I Miss

      • My top three old shows would be MacGyver, Red Green Show and Monk.

        MacGyver was a fun action show. Mac could solve any problem with a piece of gum and string. I liked how he had creative solutions to get out of messes. The way Mike, from Burn Notice, solves problems is reminiscent of MacGyver.

        Red Green was a low-budget Canadian show that aired on our local PBS affiliate. The series revolved around Red and his friends, a group of middle-aged guys, who hung out at the Possum Lodge. They came up with some of the funniest things.

        I guess it was time for Monk to end but I wasn’t consulted in the decision. I’ve always liked mystery shows like Colombo and Diagnosis Murder. Monk was my favorite of this genre.

    • My All-Time Favorite Video Game

      • The original question from Plinky was what is my all time Favorite Video Game. However, I decided to break it down to my favorite computer, console and arcade game.

        My favorite console game is Dr. Mario. It was a Tetras type game for the NES system. I didn't have very many games so I played that one a lot.

        Lady Bug, one of the lessor known video games during the 1980′s, is my favorite arcade game. In high school our local burger joint had one. I got pretty good at it. I could play for a couple of hours on just one or two quarters. Lady Bug was similar to Pac Man. It is probably still my favorite arcade games.

        ​Sid Meiers Civilization II is my all time computer game even though newer versions of the game. I've considered installing Win 98 on a system just so I could play ​Civ 2.

    • Coolest Ride I've Had

      • The coolest ride I've ever driven would be this convertible. It was a rental car. The Big Guy had been involved in accident. The accident was the result of a college student who didn't understand how to use a turn signal. The Big Guy and the car in front of him. However apparently, the college student behind him didn't know how to identify brake lights. The plus side to the accident was driving a convertible for a few days. The only negative about the car was that its color was hideous. Burnt orange is an awful color for just about anything.

    • Top 3 Historic Events I've Experienced

      • I have been working on this for a couple of month and have narrowed my list down to three events. All three events share a common theme of tearing down walls and changing the world.

        On 9 November 1989, the wall literally fell down that is the Berlin Wall Falls. The fall of the Wall ended the Cold War . It would start a chain of events that saw other communist countries began to fall as well. The constant threat of a Soviet take over or invasion was gone. It would no longer be "us" against "them" to somehow prove our way of life was better. The world would be changed forever.

        The commercialization of the Internet in 1995 may not have literally knocked down walls but suddenly almost instant communication with people in other parts of the world was possible. The impact of the internet has permeated every part of our daily lives. I think the most significant changes brought by the internet was the ease of access to information and the way we communicate. I really can't remember the last time I actually wrote a letter. Of course, I never was much of a letter writer.

        The final event the September 11, 2001 was the day that changed everything. The attack on the World Trade Towers was the first time we had been attacked by "outsiders" since 1941. The fear of a terrorist attack was unknown to most in the U.S. After all we were supposed to be immune from such things. We were supposed to different from other countries, or at least that is what many of us believed.

    • Top 10: Things to do Before the End of the Year

      • 10: Actually paint a picture with paints. I haven't painted in several years most of my artwork as been either digital or photography.

        #9: Decorate the house. We have been in this house a year and I still have few things on the wall.

        #8: Organize the books. When we moved last year the books just got put up in any order and are no longer sorted.

        #7: Read 10 books.

        #6: Take that beach trip that was cancelled.

        #5: Make Christmas gifts this year rather than buying them.

        #4: Finish teacher certification for social studies.

        #3: Finish organizing the entertainment center.

        #2: Clean out the guest room. It looks more like a junk room.

        #1: Loose enough weight to get down at least one size in clothes. I would really like to go down two sizes.
