A Note About Blogging

Blogging can be therapeutic and informational. It can be transformative and exciting. There is fun to be had when posting to your blog too. The cool kids are still blogging and some will resume soon.

Keep on blogging, good people.

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Credit

Being creative is fun, and it’s even more fun when you inspire others in your works. The use of someone’s work should come with acknowledgement and credit. I really strive to be original, but I do need inspiration now and then. My posts here include words, images, videos and other types of media from various sources.

I want to offer them thanks for allowing me to use this in a fair use way where I do not financially benefit. A little credit is a great way to be a good blogging neighbor. I want to thank Catherine for her inspiring me to write this post. Check out her article https://micqu.org/2025/07/28/credit-where-credit-is-due/ to gain more insight.

Quote Of The Day

There’s power in looking silly and not caring that you do.

Happy Gilmore 2 – A Hole In One Sequel

Adam Sandler is a terrific comedian and storyteller. He has brought us back to the golf links in Happy Gilmore 2. This sequel is full of callbacks from the original movies and full of nostalgia, fun, and tells us a new story about the future of golf.

It has a loaded cast, with Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald returning and surprising appearances by All Elite Wrestling star Maxwell Jacob Friedman and Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce. Adam has his real life wife and daughters in the movie too. Like other Adam Sandler movies, you will see lots of familiar and famous faces, like real life PGA golfers. It is on Netflix, check it out, you will enjoy it.
