My Foodie AdventuresIzzy’s Fish and Oyster I can’t believe it’s a year now since I went to Fort Myers, FL for weekend escape. This trip was done just before the beginning of the pandemic. My wife and I had a good time. Nice shops, food and scenery. Izzy’s was simply delicious seafood especially the Dolphin Sandwich!
NostalgiaHuffy Bikes So growing up in South Florida, all the neighborhood kids had a bike. Yes, there were different levels of makes and models according to what you could afford. My parents could only afford bikes at a Jefferson’s, Zayre’s or K-Mart. The Huffy Thunder Road was in my possession as a gift. My sister was gifted the girly version of the Huffy Thunder Road–The Sweet Thunder! It’s nice to see the Huffy Brand is still around!

Where are they now? The Fifth Dimension Growing up in New Jersey, my Peruvian parents came into this country in the late 60’s and where hooked to the music of the time. Artists such as Johnny Mathis, Tom Jones, Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66, Burt Bacharach, and other albums were at my disposal. I would study the art work, lyrics and linear notes of each album. One group, comprised of 5 members with angelic voices and a sound that blew me away were the Fifth Dimension. These Vocal Group Hall of Fame winners dominated the late 60’s and early 70’s throughout the TV and Radio waves. The two 5th Dimension albums in my parent’s collection where Portrait and Love’s Lines, Angles and Rhymes.

This week, I have been remembering an under-rated British band, a saxophone playing New Yorker and a collaboration with a Grammy winner, a FunkMeister and a future Grammy winner.

Where are they now? The Guardian Angels So I was watching “Beat Street” and all of a sudden this film reminded me of the Guardian Angels of New York. The Guardian Angels were created by Curtis Sliwa to protect citizens because of all the rampant crimes that were happening in the late 70’s and 80’s in New York. So these Angels rode the subways and streets trained in citizen arrest. In 2017, author David Francis Blanc wrote a book, An Angel’s Tale, about his service in the Guardian Angels. Since the group’s inception, now there are chapters all over the world.

My Foodie AdventuresSebring Diner: If you are on U.S. 27 in Sebring, FL during breakfast time, don’t forget to stop at this diner. Here’s my short review.
NostalgiaStayin’ Alive (1983 film) This past week I saw this Sylvester Stallone directed film. In this sequel to ‘Saturday Night Fever, set six years after the events in the previous film, former disco king Anthony “Tony” Manero (John Travolta), now age 25, has left Brooklyn and is now living in Manhattan, staying in a flophouse hotel while he works as a dance instructor by day and as a waiter at a nightclub at night, looking for his big break in the modern dance productions on Broadway. Originally, I saw this film in the theater and less than a handful of times on cable TV. I understand why a lot of critics hated this film but I liked it. Now, I am not going to get to the specifics on why I liked it here but I agree with what some IMDB reviewers thought about the film. Great soundtrack from the film.

Apps to try out I may change this topic to hacks or information on current apps and software. Anyway, send me a comment if you think that’s a better topic. So with that being said, you probably are having this issue with Google Drive regarding space. My Google drive is close to the 15GB limit. I found this useful article on this issue and shaved a couple of GB’s just following the instructions. Good luck.
Music I have been listening to this past week
This week, I have been remembering a Latin flutist, a Bee Gee produced album and a Doobie Brother.
Nestor Torres I came across this Latin flutist in South Florida where he was a staple in music festivals and festivals in general. His “Talk to Me” album is still talking to me all these years. I love this album!
Guilty AlbumBarry Gibb produced album for Barbara Streisand.
As a Roku TV user and music fan, you should check out Boomer TV. Developed By Legal Evo. It has some never before seen concerts (kinda looks like handheld phone camera and footage I have yet to see on Youtube). Jimi Hendrix, early Run-DMC, and Joe Walsh to name a few are the rock and rap acts on this channel.
PlaylistWhile I was laid off from work, I have been learning how to meditate and this playlist from Goop has helped me keep calm throughout my day. Enjoy!

Where are they now? Cast of Pretty in Pink. So growing up in the 80’s, I was and am still a movie freak (now I pick and choose what films are good for my brain). One of my favorite directors at the time was John Hughes and his films because he had a connection with the youth of that time period. Now comes Pretty in Pink. To be honest, I have yet to see this whole film since it came out in ’86 but have seen bits and pieces of it throughout the years. Maybe it’s because…. I’d rather not say. Anyway, here’s a good article of where the cast are now since the film turned 35 years old last week.
