August 28th marked 6 years since my little buddy Timmi left us. He was quite the character, a dog who I truly believe thought he was a cat. He was lovable, trusting and a good listener. He was indeed high maintenance, but I didn't mind.
Timmi was a sweet little guy and is still missed to this day.
(Photo attached features two pictures of Timmi, one is him on the sofa and the other he is wearing a little Harley Davidson hat. Not sure where that hat went to, it would be perfect for Mr. Sock.)
We're about halfway through summer, with record high heat and humidity sometimes making it difficult to fully appreciate the great outdoors. But we are a resilient group and have enjoyed many adventures despite sweating our way through countless shirts and having majorly frizzy hair.
Below we have over 30 of the things you (and your pets) have been up to recently. Did we cover everything? Nope. Far from it. What we have here is a mere sampling of the fun, and as you are about to discover, we've been having a blast.
BIRD, ZELDA & THEO "KEEP WATCHING THE SKY" PIX COURTESY 'OFF BEAT CINEMA'
Off Beat Cinema is a weekly 2 hour movie presentation hosted by beatnik buddies Zelda, Bird and Theo. “Off Beat Cinema promises to show “the movies that must be shown” – the good, the bad and the foreign” it says ontheir official website.
During commercial breaks, the hosts give us facts about the movie and its stars, read viewer mail and sometimes have local musical guest artists. They also air old theatre ads (like the ones that tell you about the refreshments available at the snack bar or tell young lovers to cool it with public display of affection).
Off Beat Cinema premiered in 1993 on WKBW ch. 7 in Buffalo NY. It aired in the wee hours on Fridays and/or Saturdays. In 2012, the show moved to Buffalo’s MeTV affiliate WBBZ ch. 67.
OBC now airs across U.S. on the Retro TV network Saturdays at 10 pm and at midnight on WBBZ.
When it aired on WKBW, viewers in Southern Ontario could watch Off Beat Cinema. But WBBZ is much more difficult to get with an antenna and isn't on any Canadian cable channel lineups. As a result many Canadian viewers were left in the dark when the show relocated.
But never fear! Off Beat Cinema has a You Tube “channel” where they post many of the hosted movies. It’s ideal for those who can’t watch the show on TV or are OBC fanatics who love to watch the movies over and over again.
AND NEW.... If you have a Roku Smart TV, you can download the "It's Real Good TV" channel, which features a live stream of Retro TV. You can watch Off Beat Cinema on Retro TV Sat. at 10 pm.
Here's two Off Beat Cinema movie presentations...

Jelly Roll has another surefire hit with his new song 'Liar'. His lyrics always seem to hit home and this one is no exception. Is it country? Pop? Adult Contemporary? Truth is, it's all of them. Love this guy!!!
