If you had a dollar for every time I have ranted about this, you could get yourself a really nice seven course meal! I wish that this didn't aggravate me so much, but it does! So, please let me rant and you can get on with your regular scrolling.... It is all over the internet … Continue reading No! Just, No!
Crazy Day or Two
So Tuesday night, we headed down to the hotel near the hospital where I prepped for my colonoscopy. I was up the majority of the night for obvious reasons. When I finally did fall asleep, I was awakened by noises from a huge thunderstorm. Debris was hitting the hotel windows, the thunder was loud and … Continue reading Crazy Day or Two
Leap Day #1 Songs!
When I thought about what to do for the year's "bonus" day, my first thought was to list a bunch bunch of songs about "leaping" and "jumping." Then I thought that was just too easy. So I decided to take another musical look at February 29th. I present to you a look at songs that … Continue reading Leap Day #1 Songs!
Tune Tuesday – You Raise Me Up
I thought I'd do something a bit different today. Rather than scroll through my iPod or my hard drive to see what song I felt like writing about, I thought I would check out the celebrity birthdays to see if any artist jumped out at me. One did. Josh Groban turns 43 today and while … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – You Raise Me Up
Too Much Information! (Sorry)
It is purely coincidence that the last blog I wrote was entitled "Always the Butt of Jokes." Today's blog could have also had "Butt" in the title, however, I decided against it. I will never have to doubt that my wife loves me. She has always proven that on a daily basis. This week, she … Continue reading Too Much Information! (Sorry)

The answer was a unanimous "Daddy!" Then there was a book about 5 stinky pigs ... you can only imagine what happened when Sam … Continue reading Always The Butt of Jokes
More Coffee or More Meds?!
As the title of this blog states, yesterday I must have needed more coffee or more medication. I swear I must have been exhausted or just out of my mind! I was straightening up the living room and was looking for the vacuum cleaner. I looked around the living room, in the entryway, in the … Continue reading More Coffee or More Meds?!
A Royally Good Time
The kids got to go to a neat outing today. The county hosted a "Royal Ball." They had a DJ, many games and activities, and many of the staff dressed as the various princesses. I had to work, but Sam and her mom took the kids and they had a blast! There were plenty of … Continue reading A Royally Good Time
This Should Be a Neat Show
Last month, Jim Croce would have turned 81 had he not died tragically in a 1973 plane crash. His son, AJ Croce (who I follow on Facebook) inherited his love for music from his father and is currently out touring to honor the 50th anniversary of his father's passing. During the tour, he is playing … Continue reading This Should Be a Neat Show
Tune Tuesday: Hallelujah I Love Her So
Yesterday, my Turntable Talk was about the Blues Brothers Soundtrack. Ray Charles is featured on there with his version of Shake a Tailfeather. Also yesterday, my buddy Max from the Power Pop Blog (powerpop.blog) posted about Ray's version of What'd I Say. That got me in a Ray Charles mood and I was surprised that … Continue reading Tune Tuesday: Hallelujah I Love Her So
