A Letter to My Daughter

It is my hope that one day, my children will read over these blogs and learn a little more about their dad.

Tunes from Toons

I spent a lot of time in the car with my sons this past weekend.  My oldest son asked me if I remembered some of the shows he used to watch as a kid.  We began listing the shows he and his brother watched and had many laughs as we remembered specific episodes.  This led … Continue reading Tunes from Toons →

Place your bets …

"Show me a gambler and I'll show you a loser" - Mario Puzo This is the first year I didn't have any "squares" for the Super Bowl.  I am sure I could have purchased some.  Some friends on Facebook posted that they had some available, the issue was getting them the money (let alone the … Continue reading Place your bets … →

Scammer/Spam “Heads up”

I received an email through the contact page from my blog today.  It looked innocent enough: "It looks like you've misspelled the word "Blart" (I was talking about the movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop) on your website.  I thought you would like to know :).  Silly mistakes can ruin your site's credibility.  I've used a tool called … Continue reading Scammer/Spam “Heads up” →

Build it … and they will play!

It's almost February, but we are still smack dab in the middle of a Michigan winter.  The last snowfall we had left about 5-6 inches of what we used to call "good packing" snow as kids.  This was the type of snow that was heavy and a little wet - perfect for making snowballs, snowmen, … Continue reading Build it … and they will play! →

My First Job

Today's blog stems from a daily writing prompt - "What was your first job?".  I'm surprised that I haven't written about this before.  The more I think about it, the more I realize that my first job actually led to my radio career!  Let me tell you how...

Favorite Films – The 2010’s

As I looked back over the last year's worth of blogs, I was reminded that I had yet to finish a series I started on my favorite films. The premise of the series is to pick a favorite movie (that you have seen) for every year of your life. This series started with 1970 (the … Continue reading Favorite Films – The 2010’s →
