Blog # 300!!

Another Milestone Well, here it is - my 300th blog post. To be completely honest, I have a few more than 300, but some were kept private. So this is my 300th "published" blog.

Turn on the TV or radio and they are focusing on the negative things going on, or offering … Continue reading Catch! →

Elementary, My Dear Reader

I believe I have blogged in the past about Sherlock Holmes. I guess it is interesting that while I have never read a Sherlock Holmes book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I have read books loosely based on the character. There was a series out not too long ago called The Baker Street Mysteries, that … Continue reading Elementary, My Dear Reader →

One Hit Wonder Day

Yesterday (9/25) was National One Hit Wonder Day. A One Hit Wonder is a song that would be considered the only hit song for an artist.

The book pictured above is filled with great stories about … Continue reading One Hit Wonder Day →

Remember Fast 111’s?

It's amazing how two people can remember different things about the same event. My brother and I chatted on the phone tonight. Today marks the 39th anniversary of the passing of our grandfather.

I Now Pronounce You …

Another first for me this past weekend - I performed a wedding ceremony. Many years ago, I worked briefly for a DJ company that had all of their DJ's get ordained on the internet. The idea was that if you were DJing a wedding where the minister didn't show up, you could step in (and … Continue reading I Now Pronounce You … →

“Bad Days Build Better Days”

I don't feel like blogging. I don't feel like being here. I have so many thoughts running through my mind. I feel like my insides are being torn apart. I am sad and want to cry. I am mad and want to scream. I am tired and need to sleep. I am frustrated and don't … Continue reading “Bad Days Build Better Days” →
