Friday morning when I got home from work, I had more work to do. I had to help Sam set up for a yard sale. Downstairs we had storage bins full of Ella's clothes and more with the stuff Andrew has grown out of. We also had toys that weren't being played with that we … Continue reading Working weekend

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.

A Blog I’ve Been Avoiding
After much thought, I have decided to sit and write about something that is really hurting me. I am writing this for the sole purpose of talking about it in hopes that it will calm my inner soul to "get it out." Please bear with me. Today is my second son's birthday. He is 15 … Continue reading A Blog I’ve Been Avoiding
Snap! Crackle! Annoying!
For the past couple days, I have had this "crunching" or "crackling" sound in my left ear. It is driving me crazy. It isn't constant, but it is there when I am eating, or when I move my jaw. It sounds like I have water in my ear or something. Naturally, everyone I have told … Continue reading Snap! Crackle! Annoying!
Skinny Motivation
My last blog post was the my 666th post. Not sure I'm keen on that number, so here is a quickie blog. It's more for me, than you. 189 pounds. That is what I was in the following picture: I have a lot of weight to lose to get to that weight again. I'm probably … Continue reading Skinny Motivation
One Photograph – Your Memories
I have a blog that I want to write, but can't really bring myself to do it emotionally. I'm still trying to sort through the feelings and the best way to write about it. So, today, I have opted to go to the Daily Writing Prompts to find my blog topic. Today's Prompt: "One Photograph … Continue reading One Photograph – Your Memories
Summer Kick Off
Sunny Days ... Summer has come and it is bringing on the heat!! One Michigan TV station may have slightly over exaggerated on the "First Day of Summer" temperature ... Well, it was sunny and it was hot - but not THAT hot!! We reached the 90's today and those hot temps hit early. No … Continue reading Summer Kick Off
Almost Gave Me a Heart Attack
Monday morning, I sat on the couch after getting the kids some breakfast. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and saw that I had missed a call. There was a voice mail message so I listened to it. "Hello. This message is for Keith. This is ______, from Dr. _______'s office. If you … Continue reading Almost Gave Me a Heart Attack
TV Show Draft – Round 9 Pick – Arrested Development
My ninth pick in the Hanspostcard TV Show Draft is a show that consistently made me laugh out loud - Arrested Development. I know going into this blog that it was a show that not everyone "gets." I recall going to work raving about the show and how much I laughed at it. I encouraged … Continue reading TV Show Draft – Round 9 Pick – Arrested Development
My Father’s Day Weekend
Father's Day began for me on Saturday morning. We celebrated Saturday because Sam had to work on Sunday. When I returned home from work, my kids were already up and waiting. Sam had texted me that Ella was anxious for me to come home to get my present. Ella was excited because she had seen … Continue reading My Father’s Day Weekend
Ah, Yes … No!
We've reached another milestone at our house. Let me rephrase that - We've reached an unwanted milestone at our house. As Ella's vocabulary has expanded, she is speaking in full sentences now. When I come home from work she asks, "Did you have a good night at work, Daddy?" When she is thirsty she will … Continue reading Ah, Yes … No!
