HBO Bumpers

The excitment. The anticipation. The thrill of knowing that something is….. COMING UP NEXT! My personal fav from 1983: Here they are all together:

Welcome to the future!

Everybody Dance Now

Hi, everybody.  First time blogger, long time customer.  Be gentle with me. So last night, my kids and I had Dance Party.  Dance Party is another one of these parent things that must always be capitalized to lend it a certain gravitas.  Like “I have to drive for Swim.”  And “I have to make Snack [...]
