Me: "Yes."

I know what happened in 1985. This is NOT it.

Model Home: A Novel Model Home: A Novel by Eric Puchner


I'm still reading this but I'm PISSED.  Where was Mr Puchner's editor? Part 1 takes place in 1985 and there are tons of errors - I must assume that his editor was just a child (if that) in 1985 because so many things did NOT happen in 1985.  A few examples: we did not say "mosh" in 1985. It was called slam dancing.  How could the father take money from the son's 529 plan when 529s were established in 1996? In the 1980s we said handicapped, not disabled.  It's so sloppy.  I like the book and will continue on, but this is bothersome to me, and I expect better from this publishing house.

Johnny Zacchara speaks!

As a General Hospital Brand Ambassador, I got access to this never-before-seen interview with Brandon Barash of General Hospital, the actor who plays Johnny Zacchara.

Q: What would you do if you could turn back time?
A: I would meet Benjamin Franklin.


Q: What do you do in your down time?
A: I like playing music, standing on my head, walking around in nature -- and if I’m really feeling ambitious, I’ll do all three at the same time.


Q: What is the best way to prepare for a love scene?
A: The best way to prepare for a love scene is by spending lots of hours at the gym.


Q: What is your favorite sport?
A: Basketball – college or NBA.

Q: What would you be doing if you weren’t an actor?
A: If I could not act I would NOT be one of those people who give you tickets for expired parking meter. I would be a surgeon or a police office in Alaska. Only in Alaska.


Q: Describe your perfect date.
A: My perfect date is being with a girl I can talk to.


Q: What is one of your favorite things to do?
A: When it is just me and my dad my favorite thing is to sit outside, drink a scotch and talk about nothing.


Q: What do you do for Thanksgiving?
A: I spend Thanksgiving with both sides of my large extended family.

A: Clearly it was when we lost the late and great MJ.
