Did Jesus Die on Friday?

I don't post this to start any kind of religious debate. As a matter of fact, I don't post much about my faith on this blog. If matters of faith bother you, you may skip this blog entry. If you practice a particular religion or belong to a specific denomination, I am not here to … Continue reading Did Jesus Die on Friday? →

Powerful

A friend posted this on Facebook and it really made me think. I am unsure if this is true, but after trying to research the author, Caitriona Loughrey came up. I hope that is the case, because I want to give credit where it is due. As a man now in my mid-50's, this was … Continue reading Powerful →

Spring Rerun – Tube Tunes

I'm adapting this post from a few years ago because of a couple recent articles on MSN about TV theme songs. I clicked on one about the Top 30 best TV Theme songs, and that lead to MSN offering up many other "TV theme song" articles and lists, naturally. At any rate, back when this … Continue reading Spring Rerun – Tube Tunes →

Tune Tuesday – The Happening

Today is the 80th birthday of Diana Ross! She was born in Detroit, Michigan and naturally is one of the greatest artists to come out of our state! Fun fact: when she was born, she was named Diane, but a spelling error on the paperwork led to Diana. As a member of the Supremes, they … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – The Happening →

Another Weekend Recap

We had quite a bit going on this week and even into the weekend. Andrew had a doctor appointment on Friday and I am still trying to process all that came of it. I went to work late on Friday and only worked a half day, which was probably a good thing. When I got … Continue reading Another Weekend Recap →

A Knock Out Favorite Episode

This blog is my contribution to the 10th Annual Favorite TV Show Episode Blogathon which is hosted by A Shroud of Thoughts. I have taken part in this Blogathon in the past and have missed a couple of them because of...life. I was glad to have had some time to prepare for it this year … Continue reading A Knock Out Favorite Episode →

Book Recommendation: Being Henry – Henry Winkler

I have rarely heard anyone say a bad thing about Henry Winkler. This book was a joy to listen to. It was, of course, read by the author. This in itself is quite a task, because Henry has been very open about his dyslexia in recent years. You'd never know it, though, as you listen. … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Being Henry – Henry Winkler →

6 Down – Forever to Go…

Yesterday was our 6th wedding anniversary. Sadly, we didn't get to spend much time together. My wife worked the night before and came home and grabbed a nap while picked the kids up from their sleep over at Nana's house. I came home and got the kids their lunch, showered and shaved, and got ready … Continue reading 6 Down – Forever to Go… →

Tune Tuesday – Jackpot (Bruno’s Bop)

For Tune Tuesday, I thought I would celebrate the 69th birthday of Actor/Singer Bruce Willis. I don't recall just how I stumbled upon this album, but if I had to guess, it was probably playing in my local record store and it caught my ear. Despite the album being called the "Return" of Bruno, this … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Jackpot (Bruno’s Bop) →
