There have been a lot of movies by Disney and other big companies for children. I rarely go to the movie theater to watch movies anymore, but I do enjoy renting a good movie on the weekend and watching it at home. I especially like to watch the children’s movies, but I have no desire to go to a theater with 300 screaming, crying brats all around me while I try to watch a movie. I like kids, but not other people’s spoiled kids. That’s not entertainment to me – that’s torture. LOL

For some reason I have not been buying magazines. I used to buy magazines all the times. While standing in the grocery store check out line, the headlines of a few articles would sound interesting and I would not thing twice about picking up the magazine and tossing it on the conveyor to take it home and read it at my leisure.

Maybe the problem is “my leisure” seems to have disappeared. I rarely sit down with a soothing beverage and read anything any more.

Do you remember watching Bozo on TV? There used to be a Saturday morning show for children, featuring Bozo the Clown. He would just say a couple of cute or funny lines and then show a cartoon, like Tom and Jerry, Roadrunner, Popeye, etc. It was a harmless way for children to be entertained in the morning while Mom and Dad took are of household chores.

Ben & Jerry’s has a new ice cream flavor in honor of Bonnaroo. It will be sold on site at the festival and in stores for a limited time. I haven’t seen it in the local stores, yet. But I’m Looking each week.
