Boomerville, USA: October 2014
http://boomervilleusa.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2014. I don't remember the year but I'm pretty sure it was 1972, during my first year of junior high school. It was the last time I went trick-or-treating. Kids my age were still going door to door for the fun and candy of it. Brook drove us all around the mountain neighborhoods that night. The ride was more enjoyable than the stops that evening. Brook usually had his 8-track going, but tonight it was just the sounds of that night. I remember the sound of that MGB motor ...The lyric...

Saturday, September 27, 2014. Elvis might've let that chance slip from his fingers. He was offered the role John Norman Howard in the 1976 remake of A Star is Born. That eventually went to Kris Kristofferson. Elvis didn't like the idea that he would have to portray such a weak man. Hey Elvis, IT'S CALLED ACTING! Elvis died in 1977. He went out big even though he never made his imprint on film like he wanted to do. David B. Finlayson. Links to this post. Saturday, September 20, 2014. David B. Finlayson.

Tuesday, December 9, 2014. Bookmobiles in the rearview. This morning on Facebook, I ran across an article. My friend Derick Mitchell posted regarding the passing of bookmobiles. He loves old vehicles and is also married to a librarian. I imagine he's been in plenty of bookmobiles in his lifetime. Would the bookmobile come looking for me in the middle of the night? Would an angry librarian wake me from my sleep, demand that I produce the un-returned book, a high fee or worse.face a penalty? BEING TAMED BY...

Boomerville, USA: April 2014

Tuesday, April 15, 2014. Chuck paints a ceiling. Tonight I watched THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY. I was really fascinated at how great this movie really is. To me, this is Charlton Heston's greatest piece of acting. I realize that Charlton work is shadowed by his role as Moses in THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. And as Judah Ben Hur in BEN HUR. Now that I've revisited and enjoyed the ecstasy of The Agony and the Ecstasy, I am going to have to revisit another one of Irving Stone's. Book to movie LUST FOR LIFE. I noticed...

Boomerville, USA: Marty and Claire
http://boomervilleusa.blogspot.com/2015/01/marty-and-claire.html
Sunday, January 11, 2015. I've watched a lot of old classics in my time, but I have yet to see them all. I've always enjoyed seeing Ernest Borgnine on film, Marty. Is the movie that garnered him the most attention, yet I hadn't seen it until tonight. I noticed Netflix is streaming it, so I took the time to watch it. I'm not much into romantic movies, but I do have some favorites. Frank Capra's 'It Happened One Night' is at the top of my list. I'm going to have to add Marty to that very short list. I saw ...

Thursday, June 26, 2014. I never got enough of these guys. They were so incredible in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. I had hopes that Leone would throw them together somewhere down the trail. That was never to be. Eli Wallach only appeared in one of Leone's Dollar films. He was brilliant. Van Cleef was in the first and last of the trilogy. His career was revived after those films. Eastwood's rise never stopped. Leone did offer Eastwood and Wallach roles in Duck You Sucker. David B. Finlayson. Your blog ...

Thursday, January 30, 2014. Christian Brothers Association group photo (late 70's). There's a bunch of people who are absent and wish were represented here. David A, David B, and David C to name a few). Our old coffeehouse ministry had various locations as well as various names. What started out as a prayer meeting of high school and college kids ended up a small coffee house starting as FREE House which was located at 212 South 5th Street downtown Gadsden. God bless each of you in your ministry today.
