Today I would like to salute three of my closest friends. I guess, in a way, I am taking the easy way out by including all three of them in one blog. I am doing it this way because they all celebrate birthdays this month. So here are some thoughts on three great guys. Joe … Continue reading Three Birthday Tributes

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.

Happy Hallmark Holiday
One of my favorite characters on TV is Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation. He is played by Nick Offerman. Do a search for "Ron Swanson quotes" and I promise you will chuckle. One of his quotes will be adapted a bit for this blog. "Birthdays were invented by Hallmark to sell cards." His deadpan … Continue reading Happy Hallmark Holiday
Happy Thoughts
I once heard someone say, "In a world of darkness - be the light." If I may alter that quote just a bit ... "In a world of negativity - be the positive." You wouldn't know it, but it has been a very challenging couple weeks for me. I just have to keep reminding myself that "some … Continue reading Happy Thoughts

Midweek Music – Norah Jones
I missed Tune Tuesday for a couple weeks, so here is a musical blog. In 2003, I was surfing from radio station to radio station and came across a song that "stood out" to me. The singer had this sultry, smokey voice that peaked my curiosity. I had no idea who she was and had … Continue reading Midweek Music – Norah Jones
“My heart’s all a flutter…”
About 5 or 6 years ago, I started feeling these little "flutters" in my heart. I went in to the doctor, they made me wear a holter monitor. It showed some PVC's and such. That led to an echocardiogram. I was then told I needed a sleep study to find out if I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea … Continue reading “My heart’s all a flutter…”
“Let It Go!”
With the upcoming birth of our daughter, my wife will often quiz me on Disney Princesses. This will be my first daughter and princesses are kind of a big deal! When Sam is getting ready for work she will often listen to her Disney Pandora channel. When a song comes on, she will ask, "What's … Continue reading “Let It Go!”

Sometimes I feel like I repeat myself in my blogs. If I do, I apologize. In all honesty, sometimes I forget if I have mentioned something in a previous blog. I have been meaning to hook up with my friend and fellow blogger, Max, to learn how to index the content that I have already … Continue reading 100
