Crazy Dreams can be a wake up call

I guess nobody can control about what he dreams.  Very often the dream is very intense, but after you wake up you forget about it completely.  I have had many dreams about people that I haven't seen or thought about in many years.  I do have a recurring dream about New London/Groton, Connecticut.  To make a very long and painful story short I lived there in 1977-78 and things just didn't work out there and I moved back to Queens.  Every so often I dream about looking for an apartment there.  Other times I am apply for a job at the company where I worked at that time.  The end of the dream is a wake up call.  I am just grateful that I am not there.

I thought of a few Bob Dylan songs about dreams, bu they just don't apply here.

Research Movies and Save Money

I was looking at the list of movies for the Tribeca Film Festival and found the Zen of Bobby V.  It was about how former New York Mets manager Bobby Valentine is doing in Japan.  It is scheduled to play in a Union Square theater this Saturday afternoon.  The cost to buy three tickets online is $51.  I used my old friend Google to find some information about this movie.  It turns out that On Tuesday night May 13th it will be shown on ESPN2.  Why travel into Manhattan and pay $ when we can see it for free on TV 10 days later.

It pays to be information literate!

Thank You Bob Shannon

I certainly don't have to have to introduce Bob Shannon to my radio enthusiast friends.  For others you can check his bio at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Shannon_%28WCBS-FM%29 .  To make a long story short he has been with WCBS-FM since the mid 1980s except for the 2 years that the dreaded Jack-FM was heard on 101.1 FM in New York.  During that period he was active on New York radio message boards.  He initiated and moderated a board titled Behind the Hits where avid oldies enthusiasts talked about their favorite songs and artists.  Today Bob announced that he is stepping down as board moderator.  I must assume that his reasons are personal.  I do not  start rumors on my journal.  I do thank Bob for the time and effort he spent moderating that board and wish him well in his future endeavors as a radio personality.  My fondest memory of Bob was that Lee's birth was announced on his show in 1988.

The Mets won for us 4-3

Devoted Met fan and reader of this journal AB was also at the game and dropped by to say hello and talk about radio message boards in the 8th inning.  The game ended shortly after 4 PM to give the Distinguished Professor plenty of time to get home to listen to his favorite radio show.

Remembering the Barbra Streisand Bus Shelter

When Lee was about three years old he developed a great love of bus shelters.  When we walked around the neighborhood, he would circle them until we took him away.  We would regularly take him to Cummingham Park where he found a bus shelter with an advertisement for a Streisand CD.  Since then he has been a fan of hers.  Since today is her 66th birthday, Lee played a CD of her big hits.

7000 Hits

I know some of the people who read this journal, but not everybody.  Also 7,000 hits is misleading, because it includes times that I edit my own journal.  Thanks for visiting.
