I’ve Never Owned a Baseball Cap Before

Posted on June 15, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Because I’m Chris, That’s Why Our next door neighbour bought this for me (as a very belated birthday gift) because, she said, she couldn’t resist it. I can see why: that saying actually says it all. I come across as … Continue reading →

The Image was So Subliminal, I Missed It Altogether

Posted on June 11, 2026 by cdsmiller17

“American Woman” by The Guess Who (1970) Amazing. Everyone saw this 45 rpm cover when the song came out. But, I for one, missed the eyes completely. It took the Corner DJ’s Memory Lane 1970 Ep. 04 to show me … Continue reading →

Posted on April 17, 2026 by cdsmiller17

Domitian (October 24, 51 C.E. – September 18, 96 C.E.) I have ignored this individual for several years, now. Why? I wonder. With the doubling up of lives that I have experienced previously, I suspect that this is yet another … Continue reading →

I’m Back to Where I Started from in 1996

Posted on April 14, 2026 by cdsmiller17
