'The Night Of' is mysterious and other ideas

The Night Of  HBO

Even though we received at least two days of some rainfall in my neck of the woods, we're still considered to be in a drought situation this summer. There's also a drought situation on television, but all is not lost as of this writing. This past Sunday, I viewed The Night Of on HBO. Like many programs out there, the cast and crew are amazing. It's a tad slow, but the plot is intriguing. I'll keep giving this one a chance. Check out the trailer here. 
NEW The 'season 2.0' premiere is incredible. Rami Malek more than knocks it out of the park with intense drama never before seen on cable television or any other outlet for that matter. Check it out now! What a cast and let's not forget the amazing Carly Chaiken and Craig Robinson! Oh my, do these folks deliver!

USA Network's Mr. Robot returns this week. I enjoyed Mr. Robot's first season, but forgot a good deal of what was happening on the show. Viewing many episodes during this past weekend's marathon helped me to catch up and anticipate this week's second season premiere.

I'm also looking forward to another HBO program, Vice Principals with Danny McBride and Walton Goggins. McBride entertained HBO viewed for several seasons on Eastbound and Down. It looks like McBride will hit this one out of the park as well if the program lives up to the trailers and clips out there.

Take time out for Virginia’s Shenandoah region

-
About 30 years ago my family made a classic 1970s trek to Washington, D.C. Even though the sights and sounds of D.C. left an impression on me, it was the trip through Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley that introduced me to the region’s natural beauty. Dressed in our blue “Virginia Is For Lovers” T-shirts (which I kept for several years after), we rolled down the windows of our spacious Oldsmobile to take in the scenery.

Flashback: Billy Joel's Sax Player (Mark Rivera profile-March 2007)

-
It is 2:30 in the afternoon at Midtown Atlanta's Four Seasons Hotel and Mark Rivera is pacing his hotel suite bursting with ideas. The task of keeping up with Rivera's thoughts is daunting to say the least. The words explode from him like a Fourth of July fireworks show on steroids. From stories of working with John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Peter Gabriel and most notably -- becoming Billy Joel's ever-conspicuous sax player/backup vocalist, Rivera is on a big, white, puffy cloud every time he conjures up those legendary memories. Who wouldn't be? The challenge for Rivera on this balmy late-February afternoon is to fit those anecdotes and personal thoughts on the future and state of the world into a half-hour conversation which must conclude before he boards a bus to Birmingham for his role in that evening's Billy Joel show. Indeed Rivera will be back in his Atlanta hotel room in about 48 hours, but there will be no time for follow-up questions. He will be handling...
