When we made our donation to Christmas is for Kids this year I met Dave Kane. Dave is a radio personality and comedian. He does a show on our local AM radio station, WARA 1320, on Saturday mornings called Kane & Company. He and I got to talking and he asked me if I’d like to be on his show sometime. Well, today was the day. Despite a ton of ice all over the roads I was able to get over to the station for the episode. We had a really nice conversation and when the show gets posted I will link it up here.

Dave was very interested in my blog and reviewing toys and those things that I take for granted on a daily basis because I have been doing them for so long. Then as I was talking about them I began to really think about the great opportunities that I have had over the past few years from blogging. Not only have I been able to make great donations to Christmas is for Kids but I have been able to go on trips and review cars and have some fun adventures. It was nice to talk about them. So, at the end of the show Dave asks me what is next and I blurt out that we are going to Disney Social Media Moms Celebration in February and then I was like, ” Oh no! I hope the kids are not listening!” Luckily, they were not listening at that time. Allison was and the kids came in to listen right after that. Close call. Just one more day and w2e can finally spill the beans on this.

Spider-Man has been restored

I was able to fix Andrew’s Spider-Man ornament. He was so distraught the other day when I dropped it. Some super glue and some time and it was all better. Now he’s hanging from Andrew’s tree.

The Wait for THE LAST JEDI is Over

Today I met Brian with Built from Bricks over at the movie theater. He bought tickets on the day that they came out. I was lucky that he bought me one, too. He got the first two tickets for the theater and we were the only people in the theater for weeks leading up to the movie. Then this morning he said that it was sold out. That is a good thing since I wanted to see it with a crowd and feel the energy of the moviegoers. I know that I can never, ever recreate the incredible excitement of seeing Thor Ragnarok with the cast and creators. That was incredible. But I wanted to get an excited audience and feel that energy.

While the movie was really good, I enjoyed it a lot. I look forward to seeing it again with Eva. Eva and I talked about the movie all the way to Dance rehearsal tonight. I don’t want to give anything away about the movie but I will give you some of my thoughts after you check out this new featurette.
