Len Speaks: August is Always Mug-gy Weather

http://lenspeaks.blogspot.com/2015/08/august-is-always-mug-gy-weather.html

Musings from a Bi-coastal Existence. Friday, August 7, 2015. August is Always Mug-gy Weather. Larry Fine called. He wants his hair cut back. Illegal alien. And I don't mean the kind from Earth. Sadly, this is some poor kid's grandfather. Ironically arrested for robbing a dentist. Doesn't this look like one of the characters Eddie Murphy played in "The Nutty Professor? That fine line between comedy and tragedy. Too bad she's going to miss that beauty parlor appointment. Oh, my God! My Health Tip to You.

Len Speaks: June 2015

http://lenspeaks.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Musings from a Bi-coastal Existence. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Dinosaurs Rule The Earth.Again. One large popcorn, please. Four words that are synonymous with summer movies like "Jurassic World." While other summer action blockbusters dominate the cinematic landscape, only this latest edition of the regenerated dinosaur franchise works. And why? Because it doesn't take itself too seriously. And, as a result, it is the perfect hot weather fare. Now add some butter to the aforementioned popcorn. Of course, th...

Len Speaks: May 2015

http://lenspeaks.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Musings from a Bi-coastal Existence. Sunday, May 31, 2015. The Sunday Memory Drawer - True Confession. Yes, I must confess. From time to time, I have watched soap operas. No, wait, you're supposed to call them "continuing dramas." Or simply "daytime television.". Whatever. I have gotten sucked into them at various times in my life. Yes, a continuing drama. Were you a fan of "Mad Men" the past six years? Yep, that's continuing drama. Or.gasp.a soap opera. Yet, I have loved it. One day, I bounced home from...

Len Speaks: Moron of the Month - August 2015

http://lenspeaks.blogspot.com/2015/08/moron-of-month-august-2015.html

Musings from a Bi-coastal Existence. Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Moron of the Month - August 2015. Well, this technically happened in the last week of July. But I am guessing this woman is still as much of a moron seven days later as she was then. Let me tell you how much and how it actually scares the bejeebers out of me in a big way. Get back on the raft.". Castro's on the phone. He's looking for you.". We should trade you back for a box of cigars.". If you're chuckling now, I've done my job. When she tur...

Musings from a Bi-coastal Existence. Friday, July 31, 2015. The Awkwardness of Summer. Mickey loves children.with a little salt. Hmmm Somebody came out of his shell. The dog days of summer. Gee, that Teddy Roosevelt is scary. Gee, let's go on vacation and stare at this black hole. Fashion note: Daisy Dukes don't look good on men over 40. Sir or miss, you're in the shot. I'd like to give them all a Hawaiian Punch. Okay, somebody's been riding with the top down and his shirt off. Gee, that's a clever post.

Len Speaks: The Sunday Memory Drawer - Beach Blanket Bingo

http://lenspeaks.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-sunday-memory-drawer-beach-blanket.html

Musings from a Bi-coastal Existence. Sunday, August 9, 2015. The Sunday Memory Drawer - Beach Blanket Bingo. No, this isn't a story about one of those movies with Frankie and Annette. Even though this movie did co-star Deborah Walley and I did get to know her a bit. Nope, it's summer. Let's go down to the shore. I lived in Mount Vernon, New York. With close proximity to the subway. If the train zoomed by you on the 233rd Street platform, the resulting wind was your summer refreshment for the day. Yeah, w...

Musings from a Bi-coastal Existence. Monday, August 31, 2015. Monday Morning Video Laugh - August 31, 2015. Don't you just love Mr. Bean? Dinner last night: The pre-game buffet at the Dodger Stadium Club. Sunday, August 30, 2015. The Sunday Memory Drawer - The Dog Days of Summer. I've used this old, old photo of my childhood dog, Tuffy, before. Sadly, it's the only snapshot I have of my beloved Beagle. It's also the old picture I have of our hideously ancient kitchen. But I digress. While Grandma took he...

Len Speaks: The Sunday Memory Drawer - Summer Games

http://lenspeaks.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-sunday-memory-drawer-summer-games.html

Musings from a Bi-coastal Existence. Sunday, August 2, 2015. The Sunday Memory Drawer - Summer Games. On my recent trip to New York, I found a brand, spanking new cable network on my system there. Some oddity called Buzzr.or Buzzer. Sadly, it's not on my Direct TV in Los Angeles. Hell, I miss it already. Because it brought me right back to my youth. Summer days in front of the tube. All about those wonderful TV game shows. Reruns of the best of the best from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and.gasp.the 50s. Let's sta...

Len Speaks: January 2015

Musings from a Bi-coastal Existence. Saturday, January 31, 2015. Classic Musical Comedy Production Number of the Month - January 2015. Woo hoo. A five Saturday month. We get to celebrate Broadway. My favorite Sondheim musical "Company." It was staged and filmed in a terrific New York Philharmonic production several years ago. Here's the splendid "Not Getting Married" number. Dinner last night: French dip panini at the Arclight. Friday, January 30, 2015. Happy Awkward to You. She's a good swimmer. So much...
