I thought it might be jazz or pop, but then I read the artist name.  Discogs calls it Pop Rock, but Conlee is mostly known for country.<\/li>\n<li><em>Golden Sweethearts<\/em> by the Lennon Sisters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I got four books:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Rowdy Joe Lowe: Gambler with a Gun<\/em> by Joseph G. Rosa and Waldo E. Koop.  Given it was one of the first books I saw, it looked like it was going to be a heavy day, but no.<\/li>\n<li><em>Hidden Figures<\/em> by Margot Lee Shetterly.  The movie-tie in.<\/li>\n<li><em>Criminal Minds<\/em> which looks to be a new book akin to a <em>Writer&#8217;s Digest<\/em> publications book.<\/li>\n<li>The <em>Microsoft Manual of Style<\/em>.  I remember seeing this in my young technical writer days, but I didn&#8217;t have my own copy.  This is a 2012 edition, so relatively recent (if you look at the copyright dates on the physical tech books I have).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And I got a pile of movies since I&#8217;ve watched like four in the last month:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Bull Durham<\/em> and <em>Fever Pitch<\/em> in a two-film set.<\/li>\n<li><em>Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Rudy<\/em>.  I just saw him speak, <a href=\"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/2025\/03\/12\/book-report-the-senior-by-mike-flynt-with-don-yaeger-2008\/\" target=\"_new\">as I mentioned<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><em>Chain Reaction<\/em>.  I saw this in the theater and don&#8217;t remember much about it except it&#8217;s early in Keanu Reeves&#8217; action film career.<\/li>\n<li><em>Innerspace<\/em>, the 1980s <em>Amazing Journey<\/em> as comedy with Martin Short, Dennis Quaid, and Meg Ryan.<\/li>\n<li><em>Doctor Zhivago<\/em> on a two videocassette set.  So it&#8217;s likely pretty good quality.<\/li>\n<li><em>Forever Young<\/em> with Mel Gibson.  Never seen it.  Presume it&#8217;s not a <em>Highlander<\/em> knockoff, but I might wish it was after watching it.<\/li>\n<li><em>:49<\/em> by Bill Cosby, presumably a comedy special, although I&#8217;ve never heard of it.<\/li>\n<li><em>Night at the Museum<\/em>.  Do I already have it?  I cannot remember and will likely not re-discover it for some time yet if I do.<\/li>\n<li><em>I&#8217;m Telling You For The Last Time<\/em>, a Jerry Seinfeld standup special live on Broadway.<\/li>\n<li><em>Zombieland<\/em>.  Not generally into zombie movies, but apparently this modern spin on it gets good comment on the Internet.<\/li>\n<li><em>I Will Fight No More Forever<\/em> and <em>Dogwatch<\/em>, two Sam Elliot films in a single set.  Because Sam Elliot, you know.<\/li>\n<li><em>The Big Cat<\/em>; the cover says it is an Excellent Outdoor Adventure Movie.  Apparently, the cat is a lion.<\/li>\n<li><em>Barber Shop<\/em>, the black comedy.<\/li>\n<li><em>U.S. Marshals<\/em>, the sequel to <em>The Fugitive<\/em>.  I saw this in the theaters but not since.<\/li>\n<li><em>War of the Worlds<\/em>, the Tom Cruise version.  Supposed to be a big deal when it came out but then met with less success than they hoped.  <em>No success<\/em> if success is measured in whether I&#8217;ve seen it.  But likely to succeed in that fashion sometime now.<\/li>\n<li><em>Crossfire Trail<\/em>, <em>Last Stand at Saber River<\/em>, and <em>Monte Walsh<\/em>, a Tom Selleck box set.  I already have      <em>Last Stand at Saber River<\/em>, but I will watch it again now.  Probably sooner rather than later.<\/li>\n<li><em>The Andy Griffith Show<\/em>, 8 episodes on 2 DVDs.  It will be easier to get through than a full season of something.<\/li>\n<li><em>Bonanza<\/em>, again 8 episodes on 2 DVDs.  The smaller collections of television shows are probably the way to go for me since I tend to peter out on longer collections such as full seasons or complete runs if they&#8217;re longer than a season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All told, it would have been $25 but I gave them $40 to support their ministry.<\/p>\n<p>And with that, I have almost completely filled the top of the video cabinet, which means I am running out of room for unviewed videos, not to mention viewed videos.  And books.  And records.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps I should give it a little rest.  But the Friends of the Christian County Library Sale in Clever is in a little over a week, and it will be bag day&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, my boys and I made a trip to Trinity Lutheran Church for the Lutherans for Life Mongo Rummage Sale fundraiser.
