Welcome to another edition of the Friday Photo Flashback feature! This time around we go back to 1988 (and 1999). In the past it has been fun for me to find a picture and examine the things in the background. The picture I have chosen really doesn't allow me to do that, because there's not … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

I'm just a guy who likes the classics. I love Old Time Radio Shows. I love Classic TV. I love Classic Movies. I love songs from the "Great American Songbook". I dig songs from the first decade of Rock and Roll. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to newer things. My musical taste ranges from Classical to Classic Rock and Country to Rap. I love a good book and am always looking for something to read. I tend to lean toward historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, and more.
I have always believed that our past (and the things we've experienced in it) make us who we are today. That being said, after reading through some old My Space blogs (yeah, that's about how long it's been since I blogged regularly), I decided that I should once again write. Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting, thought provoking, and entertaining in some way.

Macaroni and Beans!
I have never been diagnosed with OCD. That being said, I do tend to be a creature of habit. I tend to take the same way to work every day, I like my coffee the same way every day, and such, but I don't think I am OCD. My books and DVDs are NOT alphabetized, … Continue reading Macaroni and Beans!
Breakfast Fun
For the most part, it was a normal morning. Andrew was up first, followed almost immediately by Ella. As I was getting them out of bed, Sam came home from work. Sam recapped her night at work with me and the kids were taking turns being in her arms. During this time we asked what … Continue reading Breakfast Fun
Flatpack Wisdom
One blog that I follow belongs to a friend in Scotland. She's a poet named Britta. She has fascinating backstory and through her blog I have come to know a bit about her. You can read her blog here: https://brittasblog422041504.wordpress.com In a recent blog, she mentioned that her son had purchased a desk/chair set from … Continue reading Flatpack Wisdom
A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet”
I believe the saying goes "A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet!" Thanks to this blog and social media, I have been able to connect with some friends who I have never met face to face. One of those friends is Mr. Puppet. A few days ago, I posted a blog about random … Continue reading A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet”
Friday Photo Flashback
Welcome to the first Friday Photo Flashback of 2023. Every once in a while I will be looking for a particular picture and stumble on another. That is the case with today's featured picture. I came across it while I was searching for a picture from yesterday's blog. I truly do not know a lot … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Relating to Cartoon Dogs
"Oh boy. Here goes Keith talking about that Bluey show again. Isn't that a kid show? Why does he watch that?" I relate to it! There, I said it. There are so many things about this show that I can relate to! For example, in our house, Sam and I cannot use the bathroom without … Continue reading Relating to Cartoon Dogs
A Proud Fan
Here in Michigan, we really haven't had much to cheer about when it comes to professional football. The Detroit Lions have been the butt of many jokes. Late night hosts had a field day (pun intended) when they went 0-16 in 2008. Even Jeopardy poked fun at them once: For years Facebook posts about their … Continue reading A Proud Fan
Turntable Talk – They’re a Poet, Don’t You Know It?
I have been asked again to be a part of Dave from A Sound Day's feature Turntable Talk. Each month, Dave offers up a topic for us to discuss. This time around, we're focusing on great song lyrics. In his instructional e-mail to us, Dave writes: Not too long ago I covered how Bob Dylan … Continue reading Turntable Talk – They’re a Poet, Don’t You Know It?
Fruity Hack That Works
Remember those ads they used to show on TV for the Book of Home Remedies? It was a book full of "hacks" to fix things, cure things, etc.... My folks had it. Today, of course, we don't need that book. We can pretty much find answers to questions, recipes, and remedies all over the Internet. … Continue reading Fruity Hack That Works
