This is another book that was recommended to me by my wife. When I read what it was about, I wasn't sure I could get through it. There is something about the poor treatment of children that I have a hard time with. I wasn't sure I could handle this emotionally. I added it to my "To Read" list. … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Before We Were Yours
Tune Tuesday – Baby, I Love You
This song is one of many that takes me back to the first home I lived in. I remember my dad's stereo system and the rack of vinyl albums he had on it. My dad and mom often played records on weekends as the cleaned the house. I wish I could remember the album that this one was … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Baby, I Love You
Un-Four-Gettable Day!
On Saturday, our daughter Ella celebrated her 4th birthday in a big way! It was packed with a whole bunch of fun! It was memorable for all of us.

Tomorrow – You’re Only A Day Away
I am really looking forward to tomorrow. It's a pretty big day. As I write this, my daughter Ella is heading to bed as a three year old, but will wake up as a four year old. Over the past week, my Facebook memories have been loaded with posts from 4 years ago wondering when she was … Continue reading Tomorrow – You’re Only A Day Away
My Toby Keith Stories
I was sad to wake up today to see that Toby Keith lost his battle with cancer. He was only 62. He was one of those country artists who had continued success while others who came up around the same time faded from the radio. He always seemed to be able to come out with the right … Continue reading My Toby Keith Stories
Tune Tuesday: Cry Me a River
One of my followers mentioned a few weeks ago that I needed to post more musical posts. I'm hoping to revive Tune Tuesday with a classic. I remember I used to hear Frank Sinatra talking about "saloon songs" and "torch songs." This one would be considered a torch song. By definition, a torch song is "a sentimental love song, typically one … Continue reading Tune Tuesday: Cry Me a River
Thanks, Gabby!
In all the years I worked in radio I was star struck quite a few times. This weekend, I got to witness first hand my daughter being star struck and it was worth every second. Laila Lockhart Kraner, the star of Gabby's Dollhouse, did a meet and greet at a local furniture store this weekend and … Continue reading Thanks, Gabby!
Book Recommendation: Killers of the Flower Moon
This title kept showing up as a "must read" by my friends. It also started showing up as a recommendation on Goodreads. Then I heard it was a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro and I figured it was time to check it out. This book was fascinating, sad, and eye opening. I … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Killers of the Flower Moon
Finally! The Weekend.
It is Groundhog Day. The above critter is not a groundhog, I realize. Perhaps, I should have posted an appropriate groundhog picture? Hold on a sec .... .... Ok, I'm back. I have one. You're welcome. The kids each got to enjoy a special day today. Andrew got to spend the day at Nana's house and Ella got to go … Continue reading Finally! The Weekend.
The Kid Has Good Taste
We had an 8 year-old patient in the sleep lab when I got to work today. He finished his overnight study and was in the middle of his day study. The day study (called an MSLT) consists of a series of 5 naps - 1 every 90-120 minutes. Once the nap is over, the patient has to stay … Continue reading The Kid Has Good Taste
