It is my fault. Sunday night, I was going through some things and found a white envelope with my name on it. My radio name. I opened the envelope and it was a Christmas card from my old boss at WCRZ - Cars 108. I must have just returned to the station as she had … Continue reading NOT Eating Good in the Neighborhood!

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.

A Worthy Sequel
I finally had the chance to watch the sequel to A Christmas Story. It was really a heartwarming movie. I enjoyed it very much. There have been a couple "sequels" that have been made, but none of them came close to the original. They lacked something. They were very hard to watch. And don't get … Continue reading A Worthy Sequel
Under The Weather
We've had quite the run of germs at our house. First, Andrew had the runny nose, cough, and ear infection. Then Sam got a wicked sore throat that seemed to last for days. Ella has been congested, coughing, not really sleeping and fevers off an on. I have a nasty sinus infection with a cough. … Continue reading Under The Weather

Too Many Streams
Money hungry. That's what they are. Money hungry. I remember a time when we had Netflix and Hulu and that gave us pretty much every thing we needed to watch movies and TV shows. That's not the case today. So many "parent companies" are pulling stuff off Netflix to add to their own streaming platform … Continue reading Too Many Streams
Bells Are Ringing and Clowns Are … Laughing?
My grandma was no Clark Griswold in the outdoor Christmas Decorations Department. Inside, though, she used to really go all out. Well, at least she did before she moved to her condo. She had a large mantle along the fireplace that she decorated every year. She had Christmas trees, reindeer, a Santa sleigh, angels, and … Continue reading Bells Are Ringing and Clowns Are … Laughing?
Are We Creative Enough To Do This For a Month?
I swore up and down that I would never do the whole Elf on the Shelf thing. Sometimes, however, circumstances make you go back on your word. My mother-in-law sent home an Elf on the Shelf before Thanksgiving. So now, we're in it to win it. Ok, we'll do the best we can to make … Continue reading Are We Creative Enough To Do This For a Month?
Merry and Bright
Before Thanksgiving, there was a perfect 70 degree day. That was the day I should have put the Christmas lights up outside. I didn't. Thankfully, I took advantage of a breezy 50ish degree day and was outside rigging up the lights. After I finished, the following conversation took place between my wife and me: Sam: … Continue reading Merry and Bright
It’s Off To The North Pole!
Here is just another reason I love our neighborhood. Our neighborhood has a Facebook page. We can all communicate with each other on it. This is the same page where I found out a neighbor needed their lawn mowed a while back. It is also the page that we found out about a neighbor girl … Continue reading It’s Off To The North Pole!
