Remember that children's song where they sing, "There we're 10 in the bed and the little one said, 'Roll over! Roll over!"? I wanted to sing that so bad last night. Except that there were 4 in the bed (5 if you count the cat.)! Sleepy Ella quite a while ago... Andrew is teething, so … Continue reading Sleepless Snuggles

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.

Sorting Out My G.E.R.D.
Throughout my life, I have seen therapists off and on for various reasons: my weight, depression, grief counseling, anger issues, my divorce, etc ... Years ago, I was told by someone close to me that I was not making any progress and I was wasting money and time with therapy, so I stopped going. This … Continue reading Sorting Out My G.E.R.D.

Looking Ahead …
A radio friend discovered my blog on accident. He was doing a search on Honey Radio and my blog came up. He messaged me and asked "Is this yours?" After messaging back and forth, I told him to let me know if there was any specific topics he'd like to see on the blog. It's … Continue reading Looking Ahead …
Very Few Understand ….
I had something happen today that I am sure will be turned around to make me look like a real jerk. What it really boils down to, however, is that no one really understands people like me. "People like me" = midnight shift workers. For some people "Nightshift" is a song (albeit a GREAT song) … Continue reading Very Few Understand ….
Playing Doctor
When I was a kid, I remember having one of those Fisher Price Doctor kits. As a matter of fact, I think it remains a staple in every kid's toy box! I remember how cool it was that you could hear your heartbeat with the Stethoscope. Of course, you always had to give every one … Continue reading Playing Doctor

The Omelette
Confession: I'm 51 and I love cartoons. I have blogged about the cartoon Bluey before, and yes, I am blogging about it again. The third season of Bluey is still unavailable for viewing in the United States. There are some ways around that by changing your VPN or some other "tech" stuff I don't understand. … Continue reading The Omelette
It Still Ain’t Flat!
Remember when all it was going to take was two weeks to "flatten the curve?" A mere 14 days.... This is not meant to be political or start an argument or debate. It is just an observation that I wanted to write about. I don't want your political opinions and I don't want debates or … Continue reading It Still Ain’t Flat!
Dad Life – The Toddler Zone!
In the past two weeks, I've almost been injured seriously twice - one time with the baby in my arms. In all honesty, both instances were partially my fault. I need to pay better attention to where I am going. Our living room has morphed into "The Toddler Zone." The floor is only visible after … Continue reading Dad Life – The Toddler Zone!
