My Favorite Disney Movie - The Incredibles

Image result for the incrediblesBeing a Boomer, super heroes, cartoons and Disney all strike a chord. For me, Mr. Incredible strikes a big chord. Not that I have anything in common with the superhero, but I have so much in common with the ordinary family man you also see in this film. Who does not resonate with the frustrations of cubicle life? Who has never had a boss that you wanted to throw through a wall? Who has not had family frustrations that you wanted to escape? And who has not wanted their family to come together as a team?

Andy Griffith, No Time for Seargents and so much more

Andy Griffith died today.  For the baby boomer generation, this is a big event. We grew up with he Andy Griffith Show. Everyone remembers him as Andy Taylor, sheriff of Mayberry. However, few people today remember he was a stage and screen actor of note before he was Sheriff Taylor and Ron Howard's TV dad.  Check out the following link if you are not familiar with this man's career: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0341431/bio.
