Followers of my blog know that I've been participating in a TV Show Draft, which just wrapped up. It's like a Fantasy Football Draft, in that there are a predetermined number of rounds. Each participant waits their turn and announces their pick - and writes about it. The blog started at Hanspostcard's site, and it … Continue reading TV Draft Recap

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.

My Heart is Full
Recently I posted a blog that was difficult to write. It was regarding some things with my son. It dealt with some hurt I was sorting through. I am happy to say that I was able to see him today. He is currently having difficulty with a summer school math class. He asked if he … Continue reading My Heart is Full
Prompt: Nighttime Rituals
A few of the blogs I follow posted this yesterday. I guess there is a Throwback Thursday prompt each week by a couple sites I cannot remember off the top of my head. I thought this was a very neat set of questions to think back on and answer. After I publish this, I will … Continue reading Prompt: Nighttime Rituals

The driver, being a sensitive man as well as … Continue reading It’s International Joke Day!
Friday Photo Flashback
Recently, I did a blog based on a writing prompt that suggested finding a photo and blogging about the memories that it brings back to you. I enjoyed doing it and thought I would try to do one every Friday. I'm not sure I'll have enough photos to post, but we'll see. The above photo … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

“Almost” Twins
I was looking through some pictures today, hoping to find a good one to post for a "Throwback Thursday." I stumbled on a picture of me when I was Andrew's age. As I stared at the picture of my younger self, I actually felt like I could see some of Andrew's features in my face. … Continue reading “Almost” Twins
(Insert Creative Title Here)
We had our garage sale on Friday and Saturday, but Sunday may have been busier than the rest of my weekend. I got my steps in for the day, that's for sure! You may remember that when we were expecting Ella, we took what was our dining room and built a wall to make a … Continue reading (Insert Creative Title Here)
A Garage Sale Story
Last weekend we had a garage sale. As we were setting it up, something happened that took me back to my childhood. I had to share. The wonderful woman pictured above is my grandma. We spent almost every Sunday with her. She always made ravioli, spaghetti, breaded steak, chicken, or some amazing meal for us. … Continue reading A Garage Sale Story
