You may remember me mentioning my kids painting with colored ice recently. I was surprised this week when a "postcard" arrived for me. He had a bit of help from mommy, but his message warmed my heart. He calls me "Big Fella" all the time now. The kids on Bluey called their dad that once … Continue reading “You’ve Got Mail!”

Book Recommendation – Murder on Black Swan Lane
It's been a while since I posted a book recommendation. I slowed down a bit over the past couple weeks as I was finishing up a semester of my bible classes and taking exams. In searching for my next read, I had scrolled through my Goodreads "want to read" list. This one had been on … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Murder on Black Swan Lane
Steaming!
As a customer, all I ask is that you do your job right the first time. If I have to call you more than twice, you will be speaking to "Angry Keith." Honestly, I feel bad for the "smiling customer care representative" who answers my call. We've used the same physical therapy place for both … Continue reading Steaming!
Friday Photo Flashback
One thing I hate about working second shift is I lose Friday nights. One thing that was a very common thing for us to do on Friday nights when we first moved up to the area was go to the local hockey game. We moved up to the Flint area in about 1999. There was … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Time to Retire These? My Response
I mentioned yesterday that an MSN article listed some 1960's Pop Songs that they felt needed to be retired. I didn't say much about how I felt, as I wanted to see what my musical friends had to say. So here is a look again at the songs and why they felt they should be … Continue reading Time to Retire These? My Response
Time to Retire These?
I post this for all of my readers, but for my musical readers especially. Let me have your honest opinion. While surfing MSN the other day, I came across an article entitled "1960's Pop Songs That Should Be Permanently Retired." I agree with some of these, and I'm sure you can guess which ones. On … Continue reading Time to Retire These?
Tune Tuesday – Louis Jordan
There are plenty of "musical" birthdays that I could have tied into Tune Tuesday today. Billy Eckstine (1914), Jerry Vale (1931), Steve Lawrence (1935), Toby Keith (1961) and Joan Osborne (1962) were all born on this day. However, I decided not to pick any of them. Instead, I wanted to feature one of the early … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Louis Jordan
Movie Music Monday – Dragnet
Nine notes. Nine notes that are still recognizable today. Broken into two parts - 4 notes, then 5 notes. "Dum da dum dum" (Pause) "Dum da dum dum da." Those notes were immediately followed by a stern narrator who informed listeners, "Ladies and gentlemen. The story you are about to hear is true. Only the … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Dragnet
Fourth – Family – Fireworks
As the holiday weekend draws to a close, I hope you got the chance to enjoy it. We certainly enjoyed it, though it was toned down from previous years. We didn't have the entire family with us this year. Some of the family was sick and some were invited elsewhere or had something else going … Continue reading Fourth – Family – Fireworks
Turntable Talk #39 – Bands? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Bands!
Dave at A Sound Day just wrapped up his monthly feature Turntable Talk. It was an interesting topic this time around and there were a lot of surprises as to who everyone chose to write about. This was my entry to the feature, which originally posted on Dave's site on Monday: It is time once … Continue reading Turntable Talk #39 – Bands? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Bands!
