What if the Vince Guaraldi Trio recorded Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” for “A Charlie Brown Christmas”? That’s what this delightful little cover of Macca’s Christmas favorite by the Jason Frederick Cinematic Trio imagines. “Favorite”? Well, “money pump.” It’s a money pump. Last I saw, McCartney earned something like one million dollars a year in performanceContinue reading “Simply Having a Jazzy Christmastime”

Five Below’s Peanuts Snow Water Speaker
I needed to go to the grocery store this afternoon, and after I went next door to Five Below to have a look around. Today being Halloween, they had their Christmas sections set up, and as I was on my way out the door, something caught my attention. The Peanuts Snow Water Speaker. Snoopy inContinue reading “Five Below’s Peanuts Snow Water Speaker”
As Seen on Facebook
Some recent ads on Facebook (and one on Instagram) caught my attention, and I wanted to share. Oh, bother. Yes, Facebook thinks I’m still in the market for unlicensed Washington Nationals jerseys with pop culture characters. To be fair to Facebook, I did buy the Oasis Nationals jersey (and had it customized for Sean Doolittle,Continue reading “As Seen on Facebook”
Charlie Brown’s Nationals All-Stars
Finally, Facebook shows me an ad that’s relevant to my interests! It was bound to happen at some point. A Washington Nationals Peanuts 75th-Anniversary baseball jersey. Facebook has shown me Peanuts-themed baseball jerseys before, but not for the Nationals. For example… I didn’t hate these — they still pop up in my feed, and fromContinue reading “Charlie Brown’s Nationals All-Stars”
It’s an Unlicensed Jersey, Charlie Brown!
A few days ago, I began to see some intriguing ads on Facebook — baseball jerseys, with Peanuts characters. I made the mistake — I suppose you can call it that — of clicking on one of the ads, as my feed is now full of these ads. Different sellers, same product. I can’t imagineContinue reading “It’s an Unlicensed Jersey, Charlie Brown!”
Order Restored
After three years, my Snoopy coffee mug has returned to the office. I work down on the south end of the building now, and the south end has a working coffee nook! The north end of the building… did not. Not only was there no coffee, nor a hot water tap, these last three years,Continue reading “Order Restored”
A Saturday Evening on City Island
Yesterday — the second game of my seventeen Harrisburg Senators games of the 2021 season. Not to mention, my second game of the year — and this week! — seeing the Richmond Flying Squirrels. This year, the affiliated minor leagues feature six-game series between opponents, running from Tuesday to Sunday, instead of the normal/traditional three-Continue reading “A Saturday Evening on City Island”
Diving in on Day Two
If the first day of working from home was a strange and new and exciting experience, the second day felt more routine. I got out of bed at 7:30, though I’d been awake for several hours before that. It was another night of rough sleep; it was difficult to get comfortable temperature-wise (take a blanketContinue reading “Diving in on Day Two”
My Work-From-Home Experiment Begins
For ten years, the Snoopy coffee mug sat on my desk at Diamond, first on Greenspring Avenue, then on York Road. I’d bought it some years before at the Big Lots in Eldersberg. I liked the message — “Is there no one to rescue me?!” It seemed… apropos. As I gathered up things in myContinue reading “My Work-From-Home Experiment Begins”
Starring Snoopy, a World Series T-Shirt
After writing on Tuesday about an unlicensed Monty Python/Beatles t-shirt that amused me, yesterday saw a package stuffed in my mailbox — an unlicensed Washington Nationals World Series t-shirt. After the Nationals won the World Series, my Facebook feed was filled with ads for unofficial Nats World Series merchandise. Especially unofficial t-shirts. I bought anContinue reading “Starring Snoopy, a World Series T-Shirt”
