The great Bill Murray is 73 today. He is in some of my favorite films (Stripes, Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, etc...). There are so many great stories about him and many make you wonder if they are true or not. In celebration, I stumbled on some great quotes from Bill and thought I'd share: “Whatever you … Continue reading Murray Musings
Did I Lose My Sense of Taste?
Remember in the movie Ratatouille when the food critic tastes the ratatouille and he is immediately taken back to when he was a kid? I have always believed that this is totally possible and have had it happen to me on many occasions. It is true bliss when a food tastes so good that it … Continue reading Did I Lose My Sense of Taste?
Swapping Old Radio Stories
I've said it before and I will say it again, social media is great for catching up with old friends. However, I can honestly say that it cannot beat catching up in person. In 1988, my radio career started at WKSG, Kiss-FM in Detroit. I met so many great people there, and many I am … Continue reading Swapping Old Radio Stories
Nature is Amazing!
The kids and I had a neat experience the other morning. I went to take the garbage out to the road. When I went to grab the last can, I saw this amazing caterpillar on the rim. It was huge! I rushed back into the house and had the kids come outside to see. They … Continue reading Nature is Amazing!
Installation Complete!
I suppose I should have let you know this sooner, especially after my appliance rant a week ago. You will be happy to know that the refrigerator and the stove both arrived when they were supposed to. What a relief! Pardon the small fingerprints on the stainless steel, but Andrew is loving the new dishwasher! … Continue reading Installation Complete!

There were plenty of photos that I had never seen before. I spent countless hours looking at that book. When we had … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The 9th Man by Steve Berry
Beat It, Grandpa!
I just finished reading my friend Britta's blog. She is in Scotland and I enjoy her posts. (You can follow her here: https://brittasblog422041504.wordpress.com/ ) Today, she wrote about going to get her flu shot. The person administering the shot saw her age - 53 (same as me) - and called her a "young hen!" This … Continue reading Beat It, Grandpa!
Appliance Angina
Two Friday nights ago, I came home and went to sleep. In the middle of the night Sam nudges me and says, "Keith! What is that?!" I hear this ungodly growly/grumbling/gurgling sound. I hop out of bed and slowly made my way to the door. Once I opened the door, I could hear other noises … Continue reading Appliance Angina

Book Recommendation: My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She’s Sorry
“Having a grandmother is like having an army. This is a grandchild's ultimate privilege: knowing that someone is on your side, always, whatever the details. Even when you are wrong. Especially then, in fact. A grandmother is both a sword and a shield.” - Fredrik Backman After reading Backman's Anxious People, many people who were … Continue reading Book Recommendation: My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She’s Sorry
