Welcome back to The Music of My Life, where I feature ten songs from each year of my life. In most cases, the ten songs I choose will be ones I like personally (unless I explain otherwise). The songs will be selected from Billboard’s Year-end Hot 100 Chart, Acclaimed Music, and will all be released … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 2008
Share Your Nostalgia – Round 2
Back in November, I did a feature I called "Share Your Nostalgia." I asked some of my blogger friends to write up a piece that focused on their favorite toy from childhood. The response was positive and it was suggested to do another round. So this time around, I asked for them to tell us … Continue reading Share Your Nostalgia – Round 2
Tune Tuesday – Fleetwood Mac
It was on this day in 1977 that Fleetwood Mac released what many consider to be their best album, Rumours. I don't know this to be a fact, but I would guess it would appear in the Top 10 of any "Best Album" lists. Today should be TuneS Tuesday, because you get a bonus cut. … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Fleetwood Mac

Spy A Little Spy For Me
Sometimes I just have to chuckle. Apparently, my life is still of interest to folks from my past who have yet to move on. Let me explain. I had one of those Tik Tok pages a while ago. My coworkers sit and watch videos at work when they get a break. One of them suggested … Continue reading Spy A Little Spy For Me
Book Recommendation – Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books
It has been a while since a book has run me through the entire gamut of emotions. I just finished one that had me laughing out loud one minute and angry as hell then next. The book will make you feel "pity, horror, righteousness, relief, joy" and more. Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books
Friday Photo Flashback
I was never one who liked candid shots of me growing up. However, as an adult, those shots often bring back a strong memory. That's the case today. The above photo is one that my dad took of me coming out of Michigan National Bank. This was my first bank account. I had a paper … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Life’s Little Moments
Last night, I went to turn onto my other side when I came face to face with someone sharing my pillow. My son was next to me and it is obvious that Bitsy found a way to make his pillow a bed! Gee, doc, I'm not sure why I can't sleep... I swear, even when … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments
