I was up early enough to go for a walk with the family today. I grabbed a pair of shorts that I have been wearing, which I knew were getting too big, and couldn't find my belt. I asked Sam if she had seen it and she told me no. Then she said, "Don't you … Continue reading Where’s My Belt?

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.

Waiting in “the line”
According to Google, the average person will spend 6 months of their lives waiting in line. If you factor in waiting at traffic lights and being in a queue online or on the phone, that jumps to 5 years! I have seen the above picture more than once before. It has always struck a chord … Continue reading Waiting in “the line”

Weekend Ride on the Emotional Rollercoaster of Life
It's been a crazy past few days. On Friday, we took Andrew to the ENT to discuss the results of his sleep study. He has severe sleep apnea. Usually, this means that the tonsils or the adenoids need to come out to open up the airway. The doc took a look at his and said … Continue reading Weekend Ride on the Emotional Rollercoaster of Life
Interview with Dave from A Sound Day
One of the things I have loved about blogging is "meeting" other bloggers who share the same interests as me. One of those bloggers is Dave whose blog is called "A Sound Day." If that sounds familiar, it is because he is the host of the "Turntable Talk" blogs that I have participated in for … Continue reading Interview with Dave from A Sound Day

I Can See Clearly Now?
I picked up my new glasses on Tuesday and they are going to take some getting used to. I wore glasses from 4th grade right up until I had Lasik surgery about 20 years ago. My eyes were bad. Without them, everything was a blur. The Lasik surgery was more than I could have imagined! … Continue reading I Can See Clearly Now?
Almost 30 …
I try to hold myself accountable as I continue my weight loss journey. I neglected to post this week's weigh in results. I really was not sure what to expect this week as I had a bad day where I went over the points I was allowed. I tried to counter that by walking an … Continue reading Almost 30 …
The Sounds of Summer Are Very Different Today
On Saturday, I took my kids out for our neighborhood walk. As we walked, we heard the normal "sounds of summer." There were plenty of birds singing, dogs barking, and kids playing in the pool. On one stretch of sidewalk, I could hear loud laughter and muffled music playing from a radio. As we got … Continue reading The Sounds of Summer Are Very Different Today
