Finally – A Movie I Can Get Excited To See !

If you were to ask me "What is the last movie you saw in a theater?" I wouldn't be able to give you an answer. Honestly. I don't remember. For what it is worth, there really haven't been any movies that have really made me want to go to the theater to see them either. … Continue reading Finally – A Movie I Can Get Excited To See ! →

A friend posted this on Facebook today and I felt it was worth sharing. As a radio guy, when I saw it attributed to Paul Harvey, I wanted to be sure that was correct. I found the following at the Snopes website: Origins:   The essay reproduced above has circulated on the Internet for several years … Continue reading These Things I Wish – Lee Pitts →

Weekend Wrap Up

Saturday Sam and I took the kids out to eat at a local pizza place. They have a patio, which allowed us to eat outside. The weather was perfect. It was sunny, but not too hot and there was a nice breeze. Of course, there was plenty of cottonwood flying about, which was only a … Continue reading Weekend Wrap Up →

As a Kid, I Was An Idiot

As a child, I wish I had thought more like Dwight Schrute (see above quote). In swapping childhood stories at work, it became very clear to me that as a child I was an idiot. Here are just a couple examples. They'd be worth money today In 1977-1978, my grandparents bought me and my brother … Continue reading As a Kid, I Was An Idiot →

TV Show Draft – Round 8 Pick-Sherlock

We have come to the eighth round of the Hanspostcard TV Show Draft. I have already picked Columbo and Perry Mason, and for this round I have another mystery show. I've noticed a few of the other participants have picked some great BBC shows, so I guess it is now my turn. For this round, … Continue reading TV Show Draft – Round 8 Pick-Sherlock →

Cast the Movie of Your Life

The Word Press App on my phone will offer a daily writing prompt to bloggers. I subscribe to a few "prompt" emails and such, and they can certainly be thought starters. Today's prompt was one I had considered before and I may have even been asked a similar question by a Facebook friend. The prompt: … Continue reading Cast the Movie of Your Life →

Is 1988 really 34 years ago?

June 9, 1988 - 34 years ago. I graduated from high school. How did time go by that quickly?? It's crazy. Yesterday, I began to write a blog about that day, only to realize that I already had. See, as you get older, your memory goes! I forgot about this blog and I actually re-read … Continue reading Is 1988 really 34 years ago? →

“My Hat!”

This is just one of those stories that I wanted to document for my kids. It is all about a silly game that I never thought would be the hit that it is with them. Now, Ella asks for it .... One day Andrew was crying and I started to try to do things that … Continue reading “My Hat!” →

Physically … Fat!

The pandemic has done a number on a lot of us. The first year of the Pandemic, when we were forced to stay home, it was easy for me to fall of the wagon. We drove through a lot of places and it seemed like we were having pizza more than usual. It didn't take … Continue reading Physically … Fat! →

Thank You, Nancy!

Nancy was a music teacher at the school district I attended. She was always wearing a smile and her student's loved "Mrs. T." She was a very special friend. I worked part time for the district as a custodian, in between radio jobs when I was in my 20's. I would get a call each … Continue reading Thank You, Nancy! →
