Sorting Out My G.E.R.D.

Throughout my life, I have seen therapists off and on for various reasons: my weight, depression, grief counseling, anger issues, my divorce, etc ... Years ago, I was told by someone close to me that I was not making any progress and I was wasting money and time with therapy, so I stopped going. This … Continue reading Sorting Out My G.E.R.D. →

“Someday we’ll find it …”

"Someday we'll find it - the rainbow connection - the lovers, the dreamers and me" - Kermit the Frog When I woke up this afternoon, I went out and sat with the kids. Ella has this otter which has buttons on it with the letters of the alphabet. It sings the alphabet song and quizzes … Continue reading “Someday we’ll find it …” →

Looking Ahead …

A radio friend discovered my blog on accident. He was doing a search on Honey Radio and my blog came up. He messaged me and asked "Is this yours?" After messaging back and forth, I told him to let me know if there was any specific topics he'd like to see on the blog. It's … Continue reading Looking Ahead … →

Very Few Understand ….

I had something happen today that I am sure will be turned around to make me look like a real jerk. What it really boils down to, however, is that no one really understands people like me. "People like me" = midnight shift workers. For some people "Nightshift" is a song (albeit a GREAT song) … Continue reading Very Few Understand …. →

Playing Doctor

When I was a kid, I remember having one of those Fisher Price Doctor kits. As a matter of fact, I think it remains a staple in every kid's toy box! I remember how cool it was that you could hear your heartbeat with the Stethoscope. Of course, you always had to give every one … Continue reading Playing Doctor →

Happy 50th Anniversary – Fred & Lamont!

50 years ago today, Sanford and Son premiered on TV. In honor of the anniversary, here are links to two "Sanford" related blogs I wrote some time ago. The first comes from a Blogathon where I was to write about one of my favorite episodes and the second is about the fantastic theme song. Don't … Continue reading Happy 50th Anniversary – Fred & Lamont! →

The Omelette

Confession: I'm 51 and I love cartoons. I have blogged about the cartoon Bluey before, and yes, I am blogging about it again. The third season of Bluey is still unavailable for viewing in the United States. There are some ways around that by changing your VPN or some other "tech" stuff I don't understand. … Continue reading The Omelette →

It Still Ain’t Flat!

Remember when all it was going to take was two weeks to "flatten the curve?" A mere 14 days.... This is not meant to be political or start an argument or debate. It is just an observation that I wanted to write about. I don't want your political opinions and I don't want debates or … Continue reading It Still Ain’t Flat! →

Dad Life – The Toddler Zone!

In the past two weeks, I've almost been injured seriously twice - one time with the baby in my arms. In all honesty, both instances were partially my fault. I need to pay better attention to where I am going. Our living room has morphed into "The Toddler Zone." The floor is only visible after … Continue reading Dad Life – The Toddler Zone! →

Storytime With Melvin

I'm not sure there is anyone my age that didn't grow up with Mel Brooks' movies. I was first introduced to him with his film History of the World Part 1. Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, To Be or Not To Be, and so many others soon followed. While some of his films … Continue reading Storytime With Melvin →
