Insurance Rant

Look, I understand, we all need insurance. Right? It is supposed to be there for us when we need it. But let's face it, insurance is one of the biggest money making scams out there. You pay and pay and pay, and when you do need it, you end up jumping through hoop after hoop … Continue reading Insurance Rant →

Sooner Than Later?

To quote the Beatles song, "It Won't Be Long!" It's been some time since I've given an update on our baby boy, and after today's OB appointment, now is a good time to do so. Sam has really had a rough time the last few weeks, and as we enter the final month her discomfort … Continue reading Sooner Than Later? →

Song Draft – Mumbles – Oscar Peterson Trio +1 (Clark Terry)

With Round six, we enter the final half of the 2021 Song Draft. Four out of the five picks I have featured all have a Detroit connection. In a roundabout way, this pick has a Detroit connection, but not because of the artists. The connection comes from how I was introduced to it. For my … Continue reading Song Draft – Mumbles – Oscar Peterson Trio +1 (Clark Terry) →

Paul Harvey – If I Were The Devil

As a former radio broadcaster, I always appreciated the great Paul Harvey. I discovered him in the late 80's to early 90's and tried to listen to him whenever I could up until he retired.

Emotional Weekend Recap

Song Draft 2021 – Pick 5 – I Heard It Through the Grapevine

As the Song Draft continues, we have come to my fifth pick. I have noticed that I have primarily leaned very "local". In all honesty, I don't think I did this intentionally. I have featured songs from my home state of Michigan, and primarily from the Detroit area. I would be remiss if I did … Continue reading Song Draft 2021 – Pick 5 – I Heard It Through the Grapevine →

I’m Sorry, I Can’t Remember

Lately I can't seem to remember anything! Well, I shouldn't say "anything," because there are things that I can remember from years ago, but can't remember what I read 5 minutes ago! Ask me about a character actor in an old movie, who wrote a specific song, how long a song is (or even better, … Continue reading I’m Sorry, I Can’t Remember →
