What the Boss Likes – One of the “newer” songs….. with Lawrence Welk

Hello!  Merry Christmas for those who celebrate it.  Axial tilt is the reason for this season! A gift for all of you. Lawrence Welk and a couple of his very white singers doing... One Toke Over the Line, Sweet Jesus Knowing how backstage folks are always rather counter-culture (props to stage crew!) , I can … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – One of the “newer” songs….. with Lawrence Welk →

What the Boss Likes – It’s beginning to look a lot like fish men

Yes, this has been around the 'net for years.  But I still love a holiday song about the monsters of H.P.  Lovecraft. You can read the story this song references, "The Shadow Over Innsmouth",  here. Awesome parody of Bohemian Rhapsody here on Greta Christina's blog.  (Correction: audio link to awesome song here.  Warning, autoplay) And Invader … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – It’s beginning to look a lot like fish men →

What the Boss Likes – Finger Lakes vacation, part 2 – eating and drinking far too much

After leaving Watkins Glen, we headed for Hammondsport and our bed and breakfast.  Hammondsport is at the southern tip of Keuka Lake.  It was called “America’s coolest small town” by Budget Travel.  I will have to say it’s nice but as someone who grew up near small towns, it takes someone who rarely spent time … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Finger Lakes vacation, part 2 – eating and drinking far too much →

What the Boss Likes – Finger Lakes vacation, part 1 – geology, food and drink

We’ve not taken a vacation for a couple of years due to various circumstances.  So this year, we decided to go somewhere relatively close to us here in central Pennsylvania but somewhere we’ve never been before.  We chose the Finger Lakes region of New York state, a place full of wineries, restaurants and interesting geology. … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Finger Lakes vacation, part 1 – geology, food and drink →

What the Boss Likes – Sleepy Hollow, tv series

I’ve found a new favorite on TV.  Sleepy Hollow (beware auto audio will start to play) is great.  A smart female hero,  a smart male hero (and good looking people as both).  Lots of potential conspiracies (Illuminati, anyone?  Covens and the Catholic church?)  And plenty of character actors that we all love.  Clancy Brown (the … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Sleepy Hollow, tv series →
