What’s Everyone Watching?

-

This is the portion of the year where you can score big bragging points by finding a series worth watching. We have a competition of sorts going as finding a good series allows you to say:

“Hmmm, wonder who found this one,” as the show goes effortlessly into the next episode.

I came up with ‘Cross’ which was a good detective show that held our interest all the way through.

We are currently doing a few series that are nearing the season finales.

1). Shrinking - every episode has me saying the same thing:

“I can watch this show all day.”

Great characters, good acting, funny.

2). Landman - Billy Bob is great in everything. Seems that Taylor Sheridan has every hit series these days and Landman is the best of all of them.

It’s funny, it’s sad, Billy Bob’s wife and daughter are comic relief and fun to look at.

A whole lot of information about our dependency on oil is also spewed out. A dangerous work environment - and high drama.

Great show.

3). Yellowstone - Costner’s character was killed off and I’ve missed him - he was the one decent guy of all the characters. His daughter is hell on wheels. One of his sons is despicable.

But it’s a hard show to look away from because there’s a great battle between progress and those who live off the land.

Lots of dirty deeds.

A soap opera feel.

4). Tracker - we are probably watching this show because the good looking guy from ‘This Is Us’ is on it.

I didn’t pick this one.

It’s a show that has new characters with each episode, and the storyline changes. He could be tracking down someone in California one episode and Alabama the next.

He always wins.

He gets out of all the roughest of situations and in a gun battle he either ducks out of the way of a bullet, or it’s a through and through in the shoulder area.

His bullets are always true.

We have a few others.

We loved ‘Hacks’.

If there is just a half an hour to kill we go to the tried and true sit-coms of:

Modern Family

Two & A Half Men

Or

Everybody Loves Raymond.

It’s winter!

Cold and rainy or frozen and snowy.

There’s one other consistent thing…

…no matter the weather…

…Ollie has a football ready to go.

He somehow knows when the episode ends…

…and off we go!

My Buddy, Dave

Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I be...

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C...

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
