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.

45 – Not a Colt or a Record
Back in July I wrote: "since I started posting about my weight loss journey, I have been followed by just about every keto diet page, healthy living page, eat better/workout more page and such. This irks me for some reason. I post my stuff here to keep myself accountable. On the weeks I gain weight … Continue reading 45 – Not a Colt or a Record
Gourd Ahead, Make My Day!
Saturday morning, when I got home from work it was raining. I had hoped to come home and take the kids to the local orchard to pick up pumpkins. I love going there because they do a hay ride that takes you out to the pumpkin patch and you can go get your own pumpkin. … Continue reading Gourd Ahead, Make My Day!
Life Turns On A Dime
Just what does that even mean - "Life turns on a dime?" A quick Google search will offer up some explanations for folks unfamiliar with the phrase: "Since a dime is the smallest U.S. coin, the ability to "turn on it" is a figure of speech meaning you can change direction very quickly in a … Continue reading Life Turns On A Dime
Friday Photo Flashback
Time for another Friday Photo Flashback. I was going to say that I am not digging too deep for this week's picture, but when I realized that it is probably at least 10-15 years old. Is that considered old? You decide. This is one of my favorite photos of me with my dad and brother. … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Two Day Trip to Italy
One of the things I love about blogging is "meeting" other bloggers and reading what they are writing about. One of the blogs I follow is written by Beth (a fellow Michigander) who writes at "I didn't have my glasses on..." In a recent blog, she mentioned a book she was listening to that had … Continue reading Two Day Trip to Italy
Broadcasting Live from the Library
I love the local library. Just recently I have checked out numerous books on tape to listen to on my drive into work. I have also checked out physical books to read as well. Just like a stroll through the local book store, I love walking up and down the aisles looking for various titles … Continue reading Broadcasting Live from the Library
This Little Piggy Likes to Rock and Roll
When Sam and I started dating, my wardrobe consisted of many "band" shirts. I had shirts from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, and many more. At one point she started wearing my shirts, so I made sure to get her a couple for her birthday. Band shirts has been an inside joke … Continue reading This Little Piggy Likes to Rock and Roll
Not Feeling It
I don't feel like blogging here today. Even though I know I really should. I certainly have a lot of things to say, It's just that there's more bad than there is good. ___ I don't feel like blogging here today. There are lots of things that really got me down. I'm trying to keep … Continue reading Not Feeling It
Stress Relief
I would not consider myself a "gamer." I know plenty of them. They have special headphones with microphones so they can talk to other people in the game that they are playing. Sam's brothers are often playing games and we can hear the other players talking to them often. My older sons also play a … Continue reading Stress Relief
