Jim Does the Bath Sponge Demo!
Just like Sena talked me into letting her do a facial on me, I had to do the bath sponge thing. This product is called Scrubzz, a soap generating rinse-free bath sponge you can wash up advertised as “no rinse, no bathing, and no sticky residue. I could beg to differ on the no sticky…

Upcoming Svengoolie Movie: “Them!”
Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast!” This big broadcast is about the upcoming Svengoolie show movie, “Them!” on October 11, 2025 at 7:00 p.m. One problem I have with this schedule is that the Iowa Hawkeye vs. Wisconsin Badgers football game starts at 6:00…

A Flick on Fall Flickers
Today, as usual, we had to interrupt our cribbage game so Sena could capture video of all the birds in our backyard, the fall colors, and whatnot. She caught some shots of Northern Flickers, which she has not seen before although I can remember catching them on camera years ago. They’re really strikingly colored birds…

Svengoolie Show: “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken”
Both Sena and I enjoyed the Svengoolie show movie last night, “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.” This 1966 film directed by Alan Rifkin and starring Don Knotts as Luther Heggs, Joan Staley as Alma Parker, Liam Redmond as Kelsey, Philip Ober as Nick Simmons, and Dick Sargent as George Beckett is a horror spoof that…

Learning to Use the Komati Basin Water Authority (KOBWA) Egg Flipper!
I’ll deal with the silly KOBWA acronym later. Sena bought some new kitchen utensils and she got these egg flippers (one red and one black). They’re supposed to make it easier to flip fried eggs. I think a regular person who knows how get around a kitchen would do better than I did this morning…

Dealing with an Adjustable Fanny Pack Strap
I’m waiting for delivery of my case, protector screen, and holster clip for my new smartphone. It’s taking a while and I need a safe way to carry my phone. So, Sena got me a fanny pack. I’ve never had to deal with a fanny pack strap, but since it’ll be a few weeks for…

Upcoming Svengoolie Movie: “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken”
Svengoolie Intro: “Calling all stations! Clear the air lanes! Clear all air lanes for the big broadcast.” This coming Saturday, Svengoolie will show the 1966 comedy horror film “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.” I think it’s pretty good and Sena likes the movie too. I’ve seen this film before at least once and I thought…

Sena Hates Her New Smartphone!
Since we’ve gotten new smartphones, we’ve been working on getting up to speed on how to use them. More often they seem to be using us. In fact, Sena is pretty bummed about how much fiddling around with a smartphone you have to do. She used a little flip phone for years and this is…

Svengoolie Show Movie: “The Night Strangler”
I saw the 1973 made for TV movie “The Night Strangler” directed by Dan Curtis and starring Darrin McGavin as the investigative reporter Carl Kolchak. I’ve never seen the first Kolchak movie, “The Night Stalker.” The gist of The Night Strangler plot is that some guy in Seattle is strangling women and getting a little…

Big Mo Pod Show: “Passin’ the Torch”
I caught the Big Mo Pod Show last night and listened to the podcast this afternoon. That’s later than I usually do because we were running around today learning how to use our new smartphones. You know, the makers don’t send the phones with even basic instructions. I guess they just expect you to guess…
