    Manhattan as a Character in Film

    I've never been to New York but definitely hope to go someday. I especially like old movies in black and white that were set in New York. There is something about the way the city looks in black and white that really appeals to me. Were "The Thin Man" and "Rear Window" New York movies...

    Anybody still read the Newspaper?

    I've always been a newspaper guy, especially on Sunday mornings. The 11 year old dog and I are both early risers so we get up around 6 a.m., make the coffee and go outside and get the papers. Two or three cups of coffee to get through the papers and then it's time for CBS Sunday Morning. It's...

    Strange questions about your town

    I was originally born in the small town of Ottumwa but have lived in Iowa City for most of my life. What are your Iowa ties?

    Strange questions about your town

    Whenever we travel and tell someone we're from Iowa we are almost always asked... Do you live on a farm? Do you grow corn? Do you have a pig? The answers are, No, No, and No, but I do really like the movie "State Fair". :)

    Trailer Parks?

    It looks like there are people in the vintage trailer business also. Take a look at this one and click on the restorations link. Birchwood Beuties I think that trailer/mobile home parks can be whatever the homeowners decide they will be. When my wife and I first got married (we were very...

    The Odd Couple (1968)

    My wife would say I am very much like Oscar but I woud say I am sort of an amalgam of the two. Probably leaning towards Oscar though. :)

    R&B

    I would recommend a cd titled "Night Train To Nashville". I was watching CBS News Sunday Morning a couple of years ago and saw this reviewed by Bill Flanagan. I have had good luck with many of his recommendations and this was no exception. Night Train To Nashville

    Anyone else tired of winter?!

    I like winter and all it brings up until Christmas is over. By this time of year I am really tired of it and the last week has been the worst. Last weekend on Saturday we had an ice storm and our electric service was out for two days. There are still many thousands of homes without power from...

    How much snow do you have?

    We had an ice storm here in Iowa City yesterday. Lots of power lines were knocked down along with many tree limbs. Our power went out about 4 p.m. yesterday and just came back on about an hour or so ago. It's nice to have the furnace running again as it was beginning to get a little...

    Do we like sodie pop? What do you like and what do you call it?

    Here in Iowa almost everyone refers to it as "pop". My favorite is Diet Coke and we always have several cases on hand. I also like Diet Dr. Pepper and sometimes a Diet Mt. Dew. I've drank the sugar-free varieties for so long that the others taste funny to me now.

    Support Mom and Pop

    One of my favorite things about living in a university town is the wide variety of locally owned businesses. We have a big selection of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, bookstores and other businesses. We also have our share of chain places but we tend to go to the mom and pop places a lot...

    How Did You Discover Old Time Radio?

    I remember staying with my grandmother as a kid and one of the local radio stations would play old Lum and Abner shows late on Saturday nights. She would let me stay up late and listen with her. This was around 1970 or so. The other thing is that at about this same time I heard War Of The...
