We have a high wind advisory in effect for the area tonight. The temperatures are still nice, so I opened the windows to enjoy the breeze. The TV is on in the background and the kids and I are on the floor playing when I hear this huge wind gust. It was big. That was … Continue reading Everyone Knows It’s Windy

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.

Friday Photo Flashback
Its time for another edition of my Friday Photo Flashback. I stumbled upon a photo that brought back many memories making me happy and sad at the same time. Take a peak: If I was going to put a date on this, it is probably around 1996 or 1997. It looks like it was taken … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Mouse Wrecker!
This afternoon before work, I wanted to go for a walk. The kids had been a handful throughout the day and Sam said that she wanted to stay home. I thought it would be a good idea to take the kids and give her a good half hour of quiet. So I loaded up the … Continue reading Mouse Wrecker!
Indian Summer Walks
We've really had a few nice days this week. The temperatures haven't been too cold and the sun has been shining. I guess this is what some would call an Indian Summer. According to the great Wikipedia (LOL): An Indian summer is a period of unseasonably warm, dry weather that sometimes occurs in autumn in … Continue reading Indian Summer Walks
Stereotyped?
We have a gal at work who talks about the funny stuff she watched on this TikTok App. Another friend will occasionally send me text messages with a link to some TikTok video. When this happens, I will watch it on the web and not in the app. Well, recently, someone sent me a link … Continue reading Stereotyped?
Halloween Recap
Halloween 2022 is now behind us. The day started with me and the kids getting our flu shots. I, of course, waited until the last possible minute to get mine for work. As we drove home, one of the neighbors had put up a HUGE inflatable pumpkin. Ella saw it from the window, and despite … Continue reading Halloween Recap

Dressin’ Up For Treats – Halloween Memories With My Kids
This week, as I looked for a few Halloween photos, I stumbled on some that I had totally forgotten about. My oldest son is now 20 and my middle son is 15. That's a lot of costumes to try to remember. Sadly, I don't have many pictures of their past costumes, but the ones that … Continue reading Dressin’ Up For Treats – Halloween Memories With My Kids
The Power of Radio
84 years ago tonight: On the evening of 30th October 1938, Orson Welles broadcast his famous dramatised production of the H G Wells novel The War of The Worlds on CBS American radio. The play started conventionally enough with Welles reading the first part of the novel more or less verbatim. The play then reverted … Continue reading The Power of Radio
He Scared My Pants Off!
In a recent blog, I mentioned local horror host Sir Graves Ghastly. While I liked watching his show, there was another host who I connected with on a more "childish" level - Count Scary. The Count (and his cool twin brother, Val Scary) was portrayed by Tom Ryan. Tom was a radio guy who worked … Continue reading He Scared My Pants Off!
