Stereotyped?

We have a gal at work who talks about the funny stuff she watched on this TikTok App. Another friend will occasionally send me text messages with a link to some TikTok video. When this happens, I will watch it on the web and not in the app. Well, recently, someone sent me a link … Continue reading Stereotyped? →

Halloween Recap

Halloween 2022 is now behind us. The day started with me and the kids getting our flu shots. I, of course, waited until the last possible minute to get mine for work. As we drove home, one of the neighbors had put up a HUGE inflatable pumpkin. Ella saw it from the window, and despite … Continue reading Halloween Recap →

Dressin’ Up For Treats – Halloween Memories With My Kids

This week, as I looked for a few Halloween photos, I stumbled on some that I had totally forgotten about. My oldest son is now 20 and my middle son is 15. That's a lot of costumes to try to remember. Sadly, I don't have many pictures of their past costumes, but the ones that … Continue reading Dressin’ Up For Treats – Halloween Memories With My Kids →

The Power of Radio

84 years ago tonight: On the evening of 30th October 1938, Orson Welles broadcast his famous dramatised production of the H G Wells novel The War of The Worlds on CBS American radio. The play started conventionally enough with Welles reading the first part of the novel more or less verbatim. The play then reverted … Continue reading The Power of Radio →

He Scared My Pants Off!

In a recent blog, I mentioned local horror host Sir Graves Ghastly. While I liked watching his show, there was another host who I connected with on a more "childish" level - Count Scary. The Count (and his cool twin brother, Val Scary) was portrayed by Tom Ryan. Tom was a radio guy who worked … Continue reading He Scared My Pants Off! →

I’m Just Going to Leaf This Here …

Just a few days ago I posted pictures of the colorful trees in the neighborhood. All it took was a windy rainy day this week and many of those leaves have now fallen. As you walk through the neighborhood now, the ground is covered in yellow, red and orange while the trees are more and … Continue reading I’m Just Going to Leaf This Here … →

Friday Photo Flashback

It's time for another Friday Photo Flashback. While I was looking for Halloween costume pictures, I came across a photo I have never seen before of my brother. From what I can tell, this was taken at my parents house and has to be fairly soon after we moved in. I am almost positive that … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Throwback Thursday

I promised my buddy Max a "happy" post, since the last few were sad in nature. When I opened up the Blog "Reader," I saw a prompt from Maggie at From Cave Walls. I thought this would be a good way to feature a "happier" topic. This week’s prompt is: Costumes 1. Did you celebrate Halloween? … Continue reading Throwback Thursday →

Scars in Heaven

This afternoon our family said our final goodbyes to Grace. If you aren't up to speed, Grace was my ten year old sister-in-law, who passed away. Funerals, in general, are sad. Funerals for children are very sad. A parent should never have to bury their child, but the fact is that many have to. Life … Continue reading Scars in Heaven →
