I have my regular followers and I interact with them (you) often. I appreciate your comments and I love reading your blogs. Thank you for finding … Continue reading Fifty Grand!!!

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
This is a "feature" I started a couple weeks ago with a Daily Writing Prompt. It's been fun to find a photo to write about each week. This week's gem comes from way back! Yes, that is me!

Share and Share Alike
One of the most difficult things for a toddler to do is share. Teaching them how to share can be just as difficult. "It's mine!" "My blanket!" "Stop it! That's mine! Walk into any daycare, kindergarten class, or home with toddlers and I can guarantee you will hear those phrases. If not those exact phrases, … Continue reading Share and Share Alike
A Weekend of Ups and Downs
This weekend certainly was one that left me emotionally drained. It also left me knowing that there are things that I need to do as well as some priorities that need shifting. Some things are just too important and changes need to be made. I have every intention of doing what needs to be done. … Continue reading A Weekend of Ups and Downs
Sending Them Up
Anxiety. Fear. Sadness. Unrest. Nervousness. Sorrow. Overwhelmed. Confused. Any one of those feelings can be crippling. All of them swirling together are scary.
