Six Degrees of Elton John
And let me just say…Rocketman is FABULOUS!!! I laughed, I cried, I sang, I danced in my seat, and I reveled in the memories. No, it’s not your typical biopic. Anything but. “Based on a true fantasy” as the movie poster bills it. I’d say they hit that nail on the head. To be honest,…

…I hope you don’t mind… I’m going to see a sneak preview of Rocketman on Saturday, May 18…by myself. Zero hour, 7 p.m. I know it may sound weird, but it’s just something I’ve got to do. You see, whenever I get a new Sir Elton album, I must listen to it by myself for…

As many of you know, Sir Elton is soon to release Diamonds, the “ultimate greatest hits collection in honor of his and Bernie Taupin’s 50-year songwriting career.” (Yes, mine is pre-ordered as a Christmas present pour moi. Can’t open it until December 25th though)! Of course, there is an Elton John: The Diamond Club Facebook group…

So I finally found the time to go see Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Not normally my kind of movie, but you-know-who is in it. I prepared myself for the worst. I hadn’t seen Kingsman, although I’d heard it was pretty violent and very crude – but funny. Well… It wasn’t that bad! I actually enjoyed…

No, this isn’t a partisan rant or diatribe. I try to avoid posting political, religious or any content that could be even slightly misconstrued as controversial on social media (this blog included). I just don’t want my social experience to be about that. But some recent occurrences have made me chuckle. Most of you probably…

I can’t believe it’s been almost six months since my last post – and it was nearly a year between that post and the previous one! Just two posts in a year and a half! What is going on with the Kim? The Captain certainly hasn’t slowed down much. Well…there have been a lot of…
