I was in between books, knowing that one I had on hold would arrive in a day or two. I normally would wait to start a book in that situation, but the title of this one caught my eye. When I read the synopsis and saw it involved time travel, I picked it up. The … Continue reading Book Recommendations – Before the Coffee Gets Cold

Friday Photo Flashback
Back when I worked at B-95 in Flint, for whatever reason, my boss and I always greeted each other the same way. Oddly enough, when we call each other on the phone, we still do it. I'll say, "Brian Cleary, ladies and gentlemen!" and he says, "Keith Allen Everybody!" (or vice versa) Our morning guy … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Life’s Little Moments
On Friday of last week, we had temperatures in the mid to upper 70's. On Saturday, they were in the upper 30's and low 40's. There was also a lot of wind, so it felt colder than that.

I’ve Got Some Very Loyal Friends
In the 1970's, Dean Martin would host celebrity roasts. They would have a man or woman of the hour and stars would get up and roast that person. It was much like the Friar's Club Roasts, but cleaned up for national TV. Roastees included Johnny Carson, Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Jackie Gleason, Frank Sinatra and … Continue reading I’ve Got Some Very Loyal Friends
Book Recommendation – Famous Last Words
A couple years ago, I stumbled on a really good mystery/time travel story - Wrong Place, Wrong Time. It was written by an unfamiliar artist to me named Gillian McAllister. I wrote about the book here. I was excited to hear that a new book from her would hit the shelves in 2025. As soon … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Famous Last Words
