March NaBloPoMo: News

-
This month's NaBloPoMo theme:  news

This month we'll be talking about news. The places you get your news, the amount of time you use focusing on the news, and critiquing the news to see what works and doesn't work.

Well, that's an easy one for me, I  love the news, world events, politics, even entertainment news and gossip.

I subscribe to The New York Times, Newsday and The New York Daily News.  My Facebook feed includes The Times of Israel, The Jerusalem Post and Ha'Aretz, as well as news feeds from WNBC and WABC. 

I watch the local news every day, and my Sunday morning viewing must include Face the Nation or Meet the Press.

Two of the presets on my car radio are the all-news stations, 1010 WINS and WCBS-AM.

I must have been 11 or 12 when I started reading the newspaper every day.  Newsday was an afternoon paper back then, you'd have to wait for it to show up...and then I'd argue with my mother about who got to read it first.

Yes, this month is going to be fun for a newshound like me.

    I was lucky, Newsday was usually delivered after my mom left for work, and my dad would pick one up while he had a cup of coffee before work each morning.

    For years, I was the only reason my mom kept the Newsday subscription.

    Nowadays, the only local radio station I listen to in the car is the local NPR affiliate. No all news stations in Tampa like 1010Wins or CBS.

    Washington has WTOP, which was the fallback when WAMU didn't have Morning Addiction or All Things Considered.

    You were lucky. I can't tell you how many times we fought over who got to read the paper first.

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
