Movie Music Monday will return next week. Instead, here is a piece I wrote for Dave at A Sound Day's Turntable talk. It first appeared on his site last week. Dave has picked a topic this month that takes me back to the 70’s. He said “the topic we're going to try here is Catch … Continue reading Turntable Talk #53 – Catch That Phrase
The Dream (A Summer Rerun)
A sleeping person rests beneath a dreamy swirl of books, stars, and moonlight. I like that WordPress is giving you the opportunity to look back at your old posts now. My blog has come a long way since it began. Early on, it was primarily personal stories with music and such mixed in. Now, it … Continue reading The Dream (A Summer Rerun)
Song Lyric Sunday
For Song Lyric Sunday, Jim Adam's has asked us to pick a song about fishing, a mariner, sailing, seafaring, or ships. Well, there was one song that came to mind immediately.

An ADHD Story
I left for work one day this week and had gotten about 2-3 miles down the expressway when I got a text from my wife. I do not make it a habit to look at my phone when driving, but I knew Andrew wasn't feeling good, so I checked it. The text read: "I have … Continue reading An ADHD Story

Gotta Brag A Little …
What you see above is the Progress Report for my daughter. I knew she was smart, but these scores are through the roof!! My wife and I are so proud of her. Her love of reading is obvious, huh?

TV Theme Song Thursday – #46
Recently, I came across a Watch Mojo list of the the Top 30 Greatest TV Shows of All Time. While I agreed with some of them, many I did not. So I decided to make my own list. As hard as I tried, I just couldn't go with the Top 30. There were too many … Continue reading TV Theme Song Thursday – #46
