Haunted Hits

I have DJ'd countless Halloween parties. This year I had to turn down one of my favorite ones. For the past few years a local daycare throws a big party and kids and their parents dress up in costumes and it is always a blast. Due to my current work schedule, I was just not … Continue reading Haunted Hits →

The Scary Classic You’ve Never Heard

Now that it is October, many bloggers (and folks on social media) are posting their favorite scary books or favorite scary movies as a tie in to Halloween. I thought I would offer up something better. Think about books versus movies for just a second. To me, the book is always going to be scarier … Continue reading The Scary Classic You’ve Never Heard →

2021 – What a Year!

At midnight tonight, we'll start a brand new year - 2022. Some have compared a new year to a book. The book with 365 blank pages - one for each day - and said that the book is ours to write. There is truth to that. As I looked back over my "book" entitled "2021," … Continue reading 2021 – What a Year! →

Back to the Grind …

Back to Work ... After three weeks off work, tonight I have to return to the grind. I was lucky to be able to take some time off to be with Sam and the kids. While showering yesterday, I realized that the time I'd be home was coming to an end. Sam joked that I … Continue reading Back to the Grind … →

The “Overlap”

We are now three days from Christmas. Remember back in October when folks were all up in arms about people putting Christmas stuff up? I remember blogging about how this year we could use some happiness and approved of the "early" holiday cheer. I was reminded of a cartoon which shows up every year (in … Continue reading The “Overlap” →

A Little Mischief

All my life the night before Halloween was referred to as Devil's Night. In some places it is called Mischief Night. Other places call it Goosey Night, Mat Night, or Cabbage Night. Whatever you called it, it was usually a night that kids/teens would go out and prank people. Usually those pranks were pretty harmless. … Continue reading A Little Mischief →

A Great Fall Weekend!

This weekend marked the 14th anniversary of my mother's passing. It was very much on my mind through the entire weekend. However, there were so many other things going on that there was more happiness than sadness. My brother came into town from Ohio and got to meet his niece for the first time. We … Continue reading A Great Fall Weekend! →

Too Early??

Halloween is barely behind us, and we are just a day or two into November.  Christmas is over 50 days away, however, it is everywhere! Even before Halloween, many stores had their Christmas displays and decorations up! For years, people have pondered, discussed, and debated the "how early is too early for Christmas" topic.  In … Continue reading Too Early?? →

For the Record: Famous Monsters Speak

Happy Halloween!! While I don't always plan ahead what I am going to blog about until a day or so before, today's Halloween Blog was something I planned on writing about a few months ago.  I was reminded of the topic after listening to one of the shows I did with my partner, Rob, on … Continue reading For the Record: Famous Monsters Speak →

Halloween Dress Up

Tonight on ABC, one of the greatest Halloween specials of all time aired again - It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.  It is in this special that poor Charlie Brown utters those sad words, "I got a rock." In that scene, Lucy is wearing a witch mask.  It got me to thinking about Halloweens of … Continue reading Halloween Dress Up →
