Ok, the last two weeks were flashbacks of a serious nature, so I thought I would find a picture I could pick apart a bit. I know Max over at the PowerPop blog loves these photos. According to the date stamp, this was developed in 1988 (the year I graduated from high school). That being … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

Happy 100th
Today would have been my grandma's 100th birthday. She is someone that I truly miss a lot. We'd go to her house every Sunday at noon for "dinner." We'd listen to or watch the Tiger's games during the summer. Every Christmas Eve we spent at her house. I'd always call her to ask her what … Continue reading Happy 100th
The Music of My Life – 1980
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 – 1980
Tune Tuesday – Criminal
Admittedly, this is an odd pick for me. It is one of those songs that got my attention because of the instrumentation of the song and the unique voice of the singer. It was a song that would play on the radio on one of the stations I would listen to while driving and delivering … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Criminal
Movie Music Monday – Shrek
The Shrek movies were such a big part of my older boy's childhood. They loved them, and I did, too. I am not ashamed to admit that I am a tad bit excited that they just announced a 5th installment to the series. I can relate a bit to this ogre! They've always seemed to … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Shrek
Book Recommendation: The Book of Lost Names
I am finding that there is no shortage of books set in World War II. What is really fascinating is that despite the number of them, they all seem to have a unique story line to them. That was the case with the book today. This was a book I kept seeing come up on … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Book of Lost Names
Expensive Trip To The Book Store
Because of the Microsoft issues yesterday, I got a text from my boss saying I could stay home if I didn't want to come in. Well, almost everything I do needs a computer, so I stayed home. It was nice to have lunch with the family and, honestly, even nice to be able to grab … Continue reading Expensive Trip To The Book Store
Friday Photo Flashback
Last week, I posted a couple pictures from the St. Jude Radiothon that we did when I worked at B-95. (The radiothon was to help raise money for kids with cancer.) In that post, I mentioned two very special people who I met because they were local St. Jude patients. I knew that I had … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Book Recommendation – Energy Follows Thought
By the title of this book, you might think that it might be some sort of self-help book, or maybe a book about mindfulness, or some sort of science/psychology book. "Energy Follows Thought" just sounds ... profound. It sounds deep, right? To a degree, it can get a bit deep at times. It can be … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Energy Follows Thought
