It has been some time since I have been able to participate in a Blogathon, but when I saw that The Ultimate Decades Blogathon was being hosted by my friends over at Tranquil Dreams and Drew's Movie Reviews, I had to take part in it. The basic theme is to blog about a movie that … Continue reading Thoughts on The Godfather (1972)

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.

Post Op Update
Today marks 1 week since I "retired the swim team." Without going into too much detail, upon examination my doc decided that the surgery would need to be done at the hospital. He told me that he'd feel better if we did it there. I was pleasantly surprised when I was told that I'd be … Continue reading Post Op Update
Pure Sassy!
We took Ella to get her "Two Year Old" Pictures last week. I'm glad that we wound up getting the entire digital package, because I don't know that I could just pick a few pictures! Maybe I am biased, but I think she is one of the most photogenic kids! I don't know that she … Continue reading Pure Sassy!
Ice On. Ice Off.
I debated whether or not to write about this. Then I realized that I've already shared quite a bit of personal stuff with you already, so what's one more thing? As I stated in my previous blog, I am home recovering from a minor surgical procedure (Somewhere hidden in this blog is a hint as … Continue reading Ice On. Ice Off.
Bored in Bed
Yesterday I had a minor surgery. At some point over the next day or two, I am sure I will be able to write a humorous blog about the whole thing. For now, I'm laying in bed at home recovering. I have finished a book I had wanted to read and now I am contemplating … Continue reading Bored in Bed
TV Show Draft – Pick #1 – Police Squad!
This blog is part of the TV Show Draft that is being hosted by Hans from Slice The Life. He is the same guy who hosted the Song Draft I took part in last year. This is the same idea. All the participants will pick their "draft picks" like one would pick a player in … Continue reading TV Show Draft – Pick #1 – Police Squad!
That was “interesting” … and uncomfortable!
Remember a while ago when I blogged about working midnights? Yesterday was an example of just what kind of toll it can take on a person when you don't get a lot of sleep. Let me tell you about it. Because I wanted to make sure I spent some time with Ella for her birthday, … Continue reading That was “interesting” … and uncomfortable!
A Two-riffic Birthday!
Yesterday, I blogged about it being Ella's last night as a one year old. Today (2-10) she officially turned two! On one of the Facebook "dad" groups I am a part of, someone posted that "Time is a thief." That is so true. I am still scratching my head and wondering how she could be … Continue reading A Two-riffic Birthday!
The Last Year Has Been One-derful
When I get home in the morning, my little girl will be two years old. My wife probably didn't intend on making me cry, but she sent me a picture of her sleeping in her crib with the message "Last picture as a 1 year old," but she did. I wish I had taken the … Continue reading The Last Year Has Been One-derful
Mixed Emotions
If I had to describe today with emoji's, I'd need a lot of them! Exhaustion - Tuesdays are always difficult. I get very little sleep before having to come into work for the night. I do the best I can to nap when the kids are napping, but things just never seems to line up … Continue reading Mixed Emotions
