Thoughts on The Whispers

This is a book that I have seen come up more than once as a recommendation for me. I have seen many friends post about it, and I was on the fence about reading it. Then, my son's speech therapist came over and said that it was a good read with a powerful ending. I … Continue reading Thoughts on The Whispers →

Thinking Inside the Box

You may remember that we recently bought some new appliances at our house. When they were delivered, the guys who brought them cut the boxes up to get the appliances out. They also took the remnants of those boxes when they left. For one brief moment, as our fridge was being delivered, I remembered my … Continue reading Thinking Inside the Box →

Today, I’m a Worry Wart

I have posted this quote before, but it fits today (and hopefully will help). My grandfather once told me, "Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere!" Despite the truth of that, I find my mind all over the place. As you are aware, my … Continue reading Today, I’m a Worry Wart →

No So Intelligent

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is everywhere today. I recently read where radio is now utilizing AI DJs! Urgh. Some AI can be fun. I was recently told about a few apps that can create AI photos based on your suggestions. For "Nostalgic Italian" it came up with this... For "Nostalgic Italian drinking coffee" it offered up … Continue reading No So Intelligent →

A Beautiful Celebration

This weekend was just wonderful! My Goddaughter and her fiancé got married on Saturday. I was honored to be able to DJ the wedding for them. Before I tell you more, I want to give a little backstory. Just after we rang in the year 2020, and before Covid closed everything, I blogged about my … Continue reading A Beautiful Celebration →

Birthday Rerun

"That voice!" I admit to being someone who has used that phrase before. When I am asked why I like a particular song or singer, many times it is because of their amazing vocals. A couple years ago, I did a feature called "Tune Tuesday," where I would feature a song I liked. I'm not … Continue reading Birthday Rerun →

Murray Musings

The great Bill Murray is 73 today. He is in some of my favorite films (Stripes, Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, etc...). There are so many great stories about him and many make you wonder if they are true or not. In celebration, I stumbled on some great quotes from Bill and thought I'd share: “Whatever you … Continue reading Murray Musings →

Did I Lose My Sense of Taste?

Remember in the movie Ratatouille when the food critic tastes the ratatouille and he is immediately taken back to when he was a kid? I have always believed that this is totally possible and have had it happen to me on many occasions. It is true bliss when a food tastes so good that it … Continue reading Did I Lose My Sense of Taste? →

Swapping Old Radio Stories

I've said it before and I will say it again, social media is great for catching up with old friends. However, I can honestly say that it cannot beat catching up in person. In 1988, my radio career started at WKSG, Kiss-FM in Detroit. I met so many great people there, and many I am … Continue reading Swapping Old Radio Stories →

Nature is Amazing!

The kids and I had a neat experience the other morning. I went to take the garbage out to the road. When I went to grab the last can, I saw this amazing caterpillar on the rim. It was huge! I rushed back into the house and had the kids come outside to see. They … Continue reading Nature is Amazing! →
