Tomorrow is Labor Day and that means the summer is over. Wow, where did it go? Before you know it we’ll be knee deep in that dreaded winter hoopla.
But before that, since this is the last day of summer, I thought I’d put up some links to one of my favorite summer movies, Meatballs, starring Bill Murray.
This was Bill Murray’s first movie and even though it was a low budget film, he and the rest of the cast knocked it out of the summer ball park!
Then there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions as to what’s happening at the blog this week.
