With every milestone, I become more grateful that you find my corner of the blogging universe worthy of reading. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Book Recommendation: The Book Thief

I suppose I am behind as far as this one is concerned. It's a book that I have heard talked about for some time now. I also recently found out there is a movie based on the book, too. I'm not sure why it took so long to get to it, other than my "to … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Book Thief →

Recovery At Home

It was a long day yesterday. We were on the road by 5am to be at the hospital by 7am. Andrew's surgery was at 9am. They repaired the cleft in his throat without harming the vocal chords it was between. They removed adenoids and shaved the tonsils. It all went very well. Waking up from … Continue reading Recovery At Home →

Spring Rerun – For Mom’s 76th

Many readers of this blog have only been reading it for a couple years. One of the first blogs I wrote was back in 2018 in honor of my mom's 70th birthday. I thought I would revisit and update it a bit. I have mentioned her a few times in blogs, but this blog will … Continue reading Spring Rerun – For Mom’s 76th →

Thanks For The Laughs, Joe!

If you do a search on IMDB for Joe Flaherty, you will see some of his roles listed as: Jeering Fan, Chief Elder, Western Union Man, Doorman, Pilot, Death Row Inmate, Border Guard, and Patrol Car Policeman #2!

Tune Tuesday – Lou Monte

As the Nostalgic Italian, it only makes sense to feature one of the great Italian American singers on his birthday - Lou Monte. Many people will have no idea who he is until you mention the Christmas song Dominick the Donkey. Yep, he sang that one. Personally, it saddens me that he will be remembered … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Lou Monte →

Resurrection Weekend Recap

My wife was on the schedule to work on Easter Sunday. The family made sure that she would be included in the weekend happenings. My sister-in-law hosted a brunch on Saturday, which was just awesome. She had eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit pizza, and biscuits and gravy. In past years, we've filled eggs with candy and … Continue reading Resurrection Weekend Recap →

Book Recommendation: The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

Perhaps I should have thought twice about using the title "Book Recommendation" to blog about books I've read. Why? Because every so often I'll read a book that I'm not sure whether I'd call my post a "recommendation." That's the case with this book. Many of the reviews I read praised this book. I am … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August →

Did Jesus Die on Friday?

I don't post this to start any kind of religious debate. As a matter of fact, I don't post much about my faith on this blog. If matters of faith bother you, you may skip this blog entry. If you practice a particular religion or belong to a specific denomination, I am not here to … Continue reading Did Jesus Die on Friday? →

Powerful

A friend posted this on Facebook and it really made me think. I am unsure if this is true, but after trying to research the author, Caitriona Loughrey came up. I hope that is the case, because I want to give credit where it is due. As a man now in my mid-50's, this was … Continue reading Powerful →
