89 Year Old Comedian Makes Stage Debut

Proving once again that age is truly only a number, 89 year old Chuck Esterly made his comedy debut last month in a Cincinnati club. Clearly, Chuck is not wearing mental Granny Panties! Enjoy this video and embrace the NRFGP commandment "Thou Shalt Scare Thyself." Surely, this wasn't easy for Chuck, but he embraced the fear and had fun! Way to go, Chuck!

Bridge of Spies: A Review

By: Chrysa Smith If you like intrigue, espionage and plain old, good acting, check out Bridge of Spies. In it, Tom Hanks plays the brilliant, good-hearted lawyer who, thanks to the government, becomes entangled in an international incident.

What to Say to Trick or Treaters Dressed as Elsa from “Frozen”

By: Mary Fran Bontempo I first wrote this column last year, but it still rings true. If you doubt, do check out the video of little Elsa transforming into sexy, vampy Elsa.

But now the main color I see anymore during October is pink, and it’s starting to drive me a little crazy. In case you’ve been living in a cave, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
