Local TV personality Al Alberts passed away yesterday. His show, Al Alberts Showcase, was a Sunday staple here in Philadelphia for decades. The show was basically a talent show for children, which made it wonderfully strange (Keep in mind this was before 500 channels and/or Adult Swim). Every year, each weekly show led up the crowning of "Little Miss Showcase".
I might start calling people "Little Miss Showcase". I'm old; I can do that now.

At 49, I am a few years into the 3rd Quarter of my life (hopefully), the 40 to 60 range. This blog will attempt to be about being middle aged in the early part of the 21st Century, and attempting to embrace this stage of life.

Hey, great minds and all that. I just posted my own Al Alberts memorial post too, but with music...http://jackcurtin.com/ldo/?p=1266
First I've seen of this new site. Middle age is nothing to be celebrated or understood, my friend, it's just an interregnum between the more interesting periods of youth and old age.
