Friday Photo Flashback

I have to admit that I got a chuckle out of today's photo. My brother will probably hate me for posting it, but maybe he'll chuckle, too. I will wait while you laugh ... I know, we look utterly ridiculous. If I had to guess, this photo was probably taken when I was in 6th … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

If you asked me to give you a list of artists/singers who I thought should have been much bigger stars, it would be a long one. There are so many underrated singers that never got the proper recognition or airplay they deserved. Many of them got record deals, and had fantastic songs, but for one … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo Flashback

I found a picture from about 7 or 8 years ago that I thought I would share today. It includes a masterpiece, and it is probably the closest I will ever get to the real thing. Let me explain. About 5 or 10 miles away from where I work is the Cranbrook Institute of Science … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo(s) Flashback

Yesterday I posted about my daughter’s last day of kindergarten. After that post, my wife and I were surprised with some photos we had taken a week or so ago in honor of the occasion. The timing was perfect! I wish I had room to share them all, but instead, here are my favorites! She … Continue reading Friday Photo(s) Flashback →

This week, a friend of mine sent me a photo I'd never seen before. It was taken on my first date. I wrote about my first date back in 2021. For newer followers, here is an updated edition of that blog. Every once in awhile, a writing prompt will come in the email that makes … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

(Sort of a) Friday Photo Flashback

Earlier in the week, I recapped our Memorial Day Weekend. I found a couple pictures that I wanted to share, but didn't necessarily feel that any one of them would be worthy of an entire blog. So technically, we are "flashing back" but only a little bit. Our dog, Mabel, is spoiled. She assumes that … Continue reading (Sort of a) Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo Flashback

To mark another trip around the sun, here are some pictures I have posted in the past: 6th (or 7th) birthday. Not sure if that thing with the yellow base is a candle or not. The first birthday gift from my daughter - a treasure! Celebrating birthday #52 with a nice cake from the kids … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo Flashback

Today's photo goes back to about 2014 or so. I'm sure that the picture was taken with my Blackberry phone. It never really took great pictures, and they were often fuzzy or blurry. I was outside playing catch with the boys one afternoon and I snapped this one of Dimitri throwing the ball back to … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo Flashback

I am almost positive that I have posted this picture before. I came across the magazine while looking for something else this week and I thought I'd share it again. Mobile Beat Magazine was around when I was DJing weddings and parties. At some point it went away, only to be relaunched in 2024. It … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo Flashback

I'm not sure why this photo makes me laugh so much. This was a day when I had the boys and we went out to the book store. They had gotten books and a couple magazines with gift cards. We went and had lunch at a Coney Island place and they brought all of their … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →
