The Ocean (Watch Hill Rhode Island) love to watch Figure Skating, used to do some also... enjoy older movies & older Television shows (thank god for DVD) also i like photography!
All sorts of folks to talk to! That is how friendships are formed! We don't plan them.. they happen!
I presently listen to an oldies station in the Hartford CT area called WDRC 102.9 FM. I have a good size collection of CDs, but haven't played them in a long time. I loved the 70's music in the 1970's and alot of it still holds up today!
1.) Midnight Cowboy, 2.) Diary of a Mad Housewife, love Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Joan was a gorgeous flapper actress in the 1920's. Her beauty is way overshadowed by what later generations saw her as..of a more mature woman. I also love Patty McCormack..the darling of the BAD SEED!! Also wish to add Psych-Out (film with Jack Nicholson about the Haight Ashbury era) Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, Valley of the Dolls, a film called "Sam's Song" with a young Robert DeNiro, and i love a movie from the early 1960's called "Wild Guitar" starring Arch Hall Jr. Plus the Gidget movies, they are great! I also absolutely love Elvis Presley movies. A great one is "Live a Little, Love a Little".
I love" The OC",(too bad it's left the airwaves) love "Prison Break"! Also "Skating with Celebrities" was good. American Idol, is okay too. ".So You Think You Can Dance" also good. No I don't have cable attached to my TV. Because if i did I would never get any work done!!! I also like the DVD sets in Seasons.. 1.) like the Mary Tyler Moore Show 2.) The Munsters 3.) That Girl 4.) Gidget with Sally Field 5.) Mama's Family 6.) What's Happening! 7.) This is Your Life 8.) Gilligan's Island 9.) Laugh-In 10) Night Gallery 11) The Golden Girls
I do read, and I enjoy biographies and auto-biographies about people. Right now I am in the middle of reading about Irving Thalberg. I also recently finished the Hard Cover book about Saturday Night Live by Tom Shales. That was good too!!
Martin Luther King Jr. I have admired him since I was a child! I was the only person in my 6th grade Social Studies class, in April of 1968, who stuck up for him after he was asassinated. (sorry for the spelling at the moment) Everyone turned around and booed me when i said he was so great! And this is no lie! My social studies teacher, a woman, made a wry smile on her face when this happened.She was somewhat amused as she began to speak. I just can't remember exactly what she said after all those guffaws. But she tried to be "democratic" about it. As a teacher, she could not come off as for or against. But i really got no assurance from her answer. This lady's name will have to remain off this page, but i do know her complete name. I remember this all so well, and can play it in my mind like it was yesterday...I can't make this stuff up...
