Saturday night rolling from May into June 2026, enjoying Woodford Reserve Double Oaked and a NUB cigar sampler with exquisite wrapper, binder and filler from Habano, African Cameroon Nicaraguan master blends, while listening to “The Edge of Seventeen at the Age of Fifty‑Seven”. a journey through Stevie Nicks’ soundtracks of reinvention, memory, and identity. A story still being written in 2026. 😇😉🤙🏾> https://bit.ly/Edgeof17goingon57

Soul Jazz, Sweet Sips & Coltrane on the Turntable

There’s something special about slowing the room down, dropping the needle, and letting John Coltrane’s Ballads fill the air.

Tonight’s vibe is soft, soulful, and tropical, a cozy chair, warm living room light, a beautiful glass of piña colada smoothie, and Coltrane reminding us that tenderness can be powerful too.

For the smoothie, blend together frozen pineapple chunks, banana, coconut milk, pineapple juice, Greek yogurt, ice, and a little honey if you like it sweeter. Top it with shredded coconut or a pineapple wedge for that island touch.

So here’s the question: what album are you pairing with your favorite smoothie tonight?

Drop your answer in the comments, and let’s build a smooth Saturday listening list together.

Good music. Good flavor. Good company. That’s the 3rd Street Jazz way.

Four Surviving MAS*H Legends Reunited One Last Time… For a 90-Year-Old Fan in a Nursing Home 🕊️

At 90 years old, Walter no longer remembered what day it was.

Some mornings, he forgot where he was.

Some afternoons, he forgot his own daughter’s face.

Parkinson’s had slowly taken pieces of him away, just like it did to Alan Alda.

The nurses at the nursing home said there were days Walter barely spoke at all.

But there was one thing the disease could never erase.

MAS*H.

On the small table beside his bed sat an old faded photograph from the show — wrinkled at the corners from years of being held.

Every single night before sleeping, Walter would touch the photo gently and whisper the names one by one.

“Hawkeye…”

“BJ…”

“Radar…”

“Colonel Potter…”

Sometimes he forgot he had already eaten lunch.

But somehow, he still remembered every face from the 4077th.

One evening, a young nurse named Emily filmed him softly talking to the photo while tears rolled down his cheeks.

She uploaded the video and sent it to Alan Alda’s team with a simple message:

“I just thought Mr. Alda should know how much he is still loved.”

She expected nothing back.

Maybe a thank you.

Maybe nothing at all.

But the next morning, something unbelievable happened.

Four elderly men walked slowly through the doors of the nursing home.

And every single one of them was wearing an old MAS*H uniform.

Alan Alda.

Mike Farrell.

Jamie Farr.

And Gary Burghoff.

The nurses froze.

One of them started crying instantly.

Walter was sitting quietly near the window when Alan Alda stepped in front of him and softly said:

“Hey, buddy… the 4077th reported for duty.”

Walter stared at them silently.

For a moment, nobody knew if he understood.

Then suddenly…

His trembling hands began to shake harder.

His eyes widened.

And with tears streaming down his face, the 90-year-old veteran whispered:

“Hawkeye…”

Alan knelt beside him.

Mike Farrell grabbed his shoulder.

Jamie Farr stayed completely silent because he was already crying too hard to speak.

And Gary Burghoff pulled an old army cap from behind his back and placed it gently into Walter’s hands.

For the next two hours, something extraordinary happened.

Walter remembered everything.

Every joke.

Every episode.

Every character.

Every memory.

The nurses said it was the most alive they had seen him in years.

At one point, Walter looked at Alan and quietly asked:

“Was I really important enough for you boys to come?”

Alan smiled through tears and answered:

“You kept us alive all these years too.”

By the time they left, nearly the entire nursing home staff was crying in the hallway.

Because for one beautiful morning…

A man who had been slowly losing the world…

Got his family back.

Our 10th visit to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire at the Southern California Santa Fe Dam was pure magic on the last day of the faire, reminding us why this tradition has lasted over 20 years for us. From the moment we entered, the energy was electric, with wizards, adventurers, villagers, and royalty filling the lanes with color and character. The rolling hills of West Covina, the Sante Fe Reservoir lake breeze, themed shows, flavors of mead drinks, and bustling market made the day feel like stepping into a living storybook. Every corner offered joy, nostalgia, and discovery, proving once again that the Faire is more than an event, it’s a celebration of imagination that keeps us returning year after year. Huzzah! 😀> https://renfair.com/socal/
