Friday Wonderments

Random observations…because that’s what we do.© Most of us have too much stuff. That’s why so many houses with perfectly good 2- and 3-car garages have cars parked in the streets.

I’m a sucker for the interjection of such scenes in movies that are not musicals, especially… Continue reading Movie Fun: Music in Non-Musicals
