Friday Photo Flashback

37 years ago this week I graduated from high school. I was such a band nerd in high school. Band was my life in high school. It was a place where you were accepted, you worked together, and core memories were made. I remember my sophomore and junior years playing music before the commencement ceremony … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

The Music of My Life – 1988

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 – 1988 →

Friday Photo Flashback

This Sunday (6/9) will mark 36 years since I graduated from high school. Coincidentally, I graduated from college with my Associates Degree 25 years later (11 years ago). I mention this because there have been so many graduation posts on Facebook over the last week or two. Many of my friends have been celebrating the … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Senior Cars – Did You Paint Yours?

33 years ago today (June 9, 1988) I walked the stage and was handed my diploma (ok, it was actually the diploma case) at my high school graduation. Exactly 25 years later, I would walk the stage again and receive my college degree in Sleep Medicine. On my way into work tonight, I saw a … Continue reading Senior Cars – Did You Paint Yours? →

Well, well, well. Look who’s back…

This is my first blog since May 18th. I guess this is the longest I have gone between blogs and many have sent private messages wondering if I am doing okay. My good buddy, Max, sent an email asking about me and it took me a while to write him back. Knowing I work in … Continue reading Well, well, well. Look who’s back… →

Two Years Old Word Press informs me that this blog turned two years old yesterday! Two years and the blogging continues.... I wrote a blog reflecting on one year and some feelings remain the same.

Reflecting on 2019 …

As the year draws to a close, I have pondered about what I wanted to write about. Some of the blogs I follow have posted "Year End" Top Ten lists featuring their 10 most read blogs of the year. Others have written rants about the old year, and posted resolutions for the new year. Yet … Continue reading Reflecting on 2019 … →

Capturing Memories of Yesterday

In my last blog, I was ranting about making spaghetti sauce. I hadn't made it in awhile, and it was long overdue. I was making it because we had friends over Saturday night. Our friend Amy was bringing by the flash drive with the photos she took of Dante' for senior pictures - session #1. You … Continue reading Capturing Memories of Yesterday →

Emotional Day

It is still a year away, but it is becoming very real, very quickly. Last month, on the last day of school, my oldest called me and proudly announced, "I'm a senior, dad!" It's not like I didn't think this time was coming, I knew it was. I knew when I held him as a … Continue reading Emotional Day →

A Memorable and Unique Gift

When I started writing my blog, I knew it would be a variety of personal stories, thoughts on music and movies, and blogs about whatever happened to be on my mind. I wondered if I'd actually be able to write new material often enough to even keep a blog. So, I signed up for "daily … Continue reading A Memorable and Unique Gift →
