As of October 14, 2026 I’m…
- … writing reviews again and posting them at my website, Entertainment Ave!, which has been active since 1996!
- … getting past a hernia operation so I can start training for the 2027 Chicago Marathon. I even made a website and social places under the title andyrunsat60, because I’ll be in my 60’s when I run it.
- … working on selling puzzles with pictures of my photography.
This page is inspired by Derek Sivers. His “Now” project also harkens me back to the days of bulletin boards with footers of “I’m listening to:” and “I’m watching:, so …”
I’m listening to:
All of my old music on my Apple iTunes
Back in college, during finals week, I used to listen to all my albums starting at the A’s. I decided to do the same thing at work and am finding songs I haven’t listened to in years, but realize I still love.
You can read about them on my Artful Notes newsletter!
I’m watching:
Survivor, Season 51. I have seen every season. Not sure I should be proud of that.

I’m Andy Labis. The cute thing around my neck was our dog, Milo. I sing dorky songs to my wife each morning before I go to work, and then I post some of them on YouTube. I’m also a writer, photographer, and iPhone app developer. For good measure I’m a Controller for a company that does interior construction.
As many a life has done, mine has taken many twists and turns, but thankfully I’ve found a wonderful woman to share my life with. I also have been blessed to have various outlets to share things I enjoy.
Thank you for visiting and enjoy exploring my universe!
