National Humor Month Suggestion

April is National Humor Month and I only recently discovered that Sirius XM had added a comedy channel that I really have enjoyed. The Comedy Classics channel can be found for a limited time on Channel 104. Here is what Radio Insight quoted from the press release: This is not a prank: SiriusXM announced today … Continue reading National Humor Month Suggestion →

I Wanna Be Like Bandit!

I realize that the title of this blog (and the picture above) may be misleading, because it is not about Burt Reynolds. In my defense, they say that having a good blog title will make people want to read it - and here you are! So just what is this blog about? A cartoon role … Continue reading I Wanna Be Like Bandit! →

Never Miss A Chance … To Keep Your Mouth Shut!

I have never read The First Law series, which is a series of graphic novels by Joe Ambercrombie. However, I came across a quote from Jezal dan Luthar (a character from that trilogy) that sets the stage for this blog: "Just keep your mouth shut and smile. That's always good advice" A book that I have … Continue reading Never Miss A Chance … To Keep Your Mouth Shut! →

Weekend Anxiety

The above sign can be seen almost everywhere these days. A similar sign was on the door of the restaurant my boys and I had breakfast at on Sunday. It obviously doesn't mean anything ....

One (of many) Traffic Pet Peeves

There are some who might say I am not the best driver. I would tend to agree. I've had my share of accidents - some my fault and most not my fault.

In the late 80's he had a syndicated show called "The Soupy Sales Moldie Oldies Show" and each week featured a "Joke of the Day." The following … Continue reading Some Laughs From Soupy →

A “Story” from Mr. Balos

As April is National Humor Month, I began to think about blogging some of my favorite jokes. One came to mind immediately, but I have to give a little backstory before I tell it. Manny Balos was one of the coolest teachers at my high school. He was originally the band director, and he eventually … Continue reading A “Story” from Mr. Balos →

Under Pressure …

I've been through this three times in my life already, but it is ultimately one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do? What is it? Picking a name for our baby on the way. Why is this so difficult? First, I think it is so stressful because we do not know the … Continue reading Under Pressure … →

Easter Weekend Wrap-Up

I hope this blog finds that you and yours had a wonderful weekend! We certainly did. Saturday Saturday was kind of an "errand running" day, so we were busy with that. Funny highlight of our trip to Sam's Club: Ella was sitting in the shopping cart and we had been through about half the store. … Continue reading Easter Weekend Wrap-Up →
