Trivial Problem I've been asked by my boss to act as Emcee for Holiday Trivia at our Christmas Meeting/Gathering. There will be some training before hand, catered dinner, and Holiday Trivia. I've never been to a Trivia night at any local bar or pub. Because of this, I really have no idea how they play. … Continue reading Master of Questions (and other Nonsense)

Busy, But Thankful
I hope this blog finds you enjoying the remainder of the holiday weekend. My weekend, which was supposed to be very relaxing, wound up being full of the unexpected. Wednesday afternoon, I got a call from my wife. Her dad had passed out at the doctor's office. His blood pressure was up and down. They … Continue reading Busy, But Thankful
Thanksgiving Rerun
When I worked on the radio, we would often “recycle” bits. We would take something we had done in the past and “re-run” it, often updating it to be current. This blog is actually a recycling of an earlier Thanksgiving blog from four years ago, updated for 2023. I have gained many new followers over … Continue reading Thanksgiving Rerun
Turkey Week
The turkey is in the fridge thawing out and should be ready for the oven by Thursday morning. We always cook it in a bag, and it usually comes out ok. I'm looking forward to a simple Thanksgiving holiday. I've always loved this picture of Redd Foxx and Demond Wilson from Sanford and Son I … Continue reading Turkey Week
Short Week
I am so glad for the short work week. I'm looking forward to family time. Sam and I have Friday off and we are going to the Wild Lights at the Detroit Zoo. We did this almost every year we have been together, but haven't ventured through it with the kids yet. This will be … Continue reading Short Week

This is the 20th round for this feature and Dave has brought it full circle, so to speak. The first edition was about the Beatles and whether they were still relevant … Continue reading Turntable Talk #20 – Like a Rolling Stone
Friday Gratitude
I'd like to begin by thanking each of you who reached out either in the comments, via email, or text offering support after yesterday's blog. I truly appreciate it you. Today ends with more emotions - anger, sadness, confusion, and helplessness. I truly cannot wait for my appointment this week. Something has got to change. … Continue reading Friday Gratitude
Thursday Thoughts
I'm forcing myself to write today. I have some funny things to share, and these are the type of things that have kept me going the last couple weeks. Feeling ... not right When I got the diagnosis of ADHD recently and began the new medication, I had hoped that I would start to feel … Continue reading Thursday Thoughts
Tune Tuesday – I Never Cared For You
This is a song that I have always loved by Willie Nelson. Granted, I was unaware that he had recorded it many times before the album I heard it on. It was originally recorded by Willie in 1964. Waylon Jennings covered it in 1996 and Alison Krauss covered it in 2017. The reason I love … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – I Never Cared For You
Decking the Halls
Ok, technically, I'm not decking the halls. I'm not decking them with boughs of holly either, but I did get a few more things done over the weekend. We have one of those fake electric fireplaces at our house. The heating element went a year or so ago, and we never did have it looked … Continue reading Decking the Halls
