Favorite Film – The 70’s

I guess I saw this on Facebook some time ago.   Somebody had the idea to post a list of your favorite films.  The list was to consist of your favorites from each year of your life.  So, you start with your birth year and move ahead year by year and list all the films from … Continue reading Favorite Film – The 70’s →

Midweek Music – Norah Jones

I missed Tune Tuesday for a couple weeks, so here is a musical blog. In 2003, I was surfing from radio station to radio station and came across a song that "stood out" to me.  The singer had this sultry, smokey voice that peaked my curiosity.  I had no idea who she was and had … Continue reading Midweek Music – Norah Jones →

“My heart’s all a flutter…”

About 5 or 6 years ago, I started feeling these little "flutters" in my heart.  I went in to the doctor, they made me wear a holter monitor.  It showed some PVC's and such.  That led to an echocardiogram.  I was then told I needed a sleep study to find out if I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea … Continue reading “My heart’s all a flutter…” →

“Let It Go!”

With the upcoming birth of our daughter, my wife will often quiz me on Disney Princesses. This will be my first daughter and princesses are kind of a big deal! When Sam is getting ready for work she will often listen to her Disney Pandora channel. When a song comes on, she will ask, "What's … Continue reading “Let It Go!” →

100

Sometimes I feel like I repeat myself in my blogs.  If I do, I apologize.  In all honesty, sometimes I forget if I have mentioned something in a previous blog.  I have been meaning to hook up with my friend and fellow blogger, Max, to learn how to index the content that I have already … Continue reading 100 →

Par For The Course …

Do you have something that you love to do, even though you're not really that good at it?  I have quite a few things that would fall into this category.  The things that pop immediately into my mind for me are singing, bowling, writing, and golf (to name a few). I have been golfing since … Continue reading Par For The Course … →

Quotes I Needed To Hear Today

It's not worth my time (or yours) to rehash why I am writing this blog. It will be a short one. After an incident today, Sam (as she always does), saw a great quote that really helped me today: "Learn to be ok with people not knowing your side of the story. You don't have … Continue reading Quotes I Needed To Hear Today →

Holy Batman Day!

After a few serious blogs, I decided I needed to write about something a little bit less ... deep.  This is about a silly and campy a topic as I can come up with. Depending on the source, either September 15 or September 21 was National Batman Day.  Either way, I missed it.  It was … Continue reading Holy Batman Day! →

Voices of the Past

This weekend, I DJ'd homecoming dance.  For high schools, all my new music is on a hard drive and I play it from the computer.  When I do weddings or parties, I still bring some CDs.  Recently, I have been going through boxes of CDs in hopes of putting what I don't have on my … Continue reading Voices of the Past →

Time. Life. Death. Ripples.

The longest song I ever played on the air was Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie which is just over 18 minutes long.  We played this on the classic rock station (and sometimes on the oldies station) every Thanksgiving.  To those who love the song, it was the perfect length.  To those who hated the song, … Continue reading Time.
