Pamela Cytrynbaum rounds up reminiscences of parenthood:

We are in our respective rooms. I hear her yell “I love you!” from behind the iron curtain of her closed door.

Shocked and thrilled, I bellow back: “I love you, sweetie!!!” from behind my own closed door.

She replies: “NO, MA!! I SAID I LOVE YOU TUBE!!!!”

Update: With the new theme, pages can now be accessed from the navigation bar just below the banner picture; they have been removed from the sidebar. This includes a page pointing to the Archives.

The Archive of all posts published here is now displayed in a “page” under the heading “Other Stuff” on the sidebar, over there on the right, reducing the length of the sidebar, courtesy of the Compact Archives plugin.

They do good work with good hearts.

It seems that one of my favorite OTR sites, a site which, being Canadian and not fixated on old time radio shows from the USA, was distinguished by the variety of its offerings, myoldradio.com, has let its domain name expire.

One hopes it will redeem the domain within the grace period.

If it does not, the OTR community will have suffered a great loss.

Addendum, Two Weeks Later:

My Old Radio is back.

Update: The location has been changed from Croc’s to Gordon Biersch.

We stumbled over this on our cable company’s free stuff feed. It starts slow, but it’s quite nicely done.

I “swyped” g-i-b-l-e-t-s into a text to First Daughter about cooking a turkey and Google spell-check returned

C-o-n-g-r-e-s-s.

I’m thinking that’s not an error.
