Back in November, I did a feature I called "Share Your Nostalgia." I asked some of my blogger friends to write up a piece that focused on their favorite toy from childhood. The response was positive and it was suggested to do another round. So this time around, I asked for them to tell us … Continue reading Share Your Nostalgia – Round 2

Share Your Nostalgia
After seven days of great toys, I suppose it is my turn to wrap things up in my Toy of Your Life topic. Before I begin, I want to extend my gratitude to those seven writers who said, "Yeah, Keith. I'll write up something for your silly feature." Nancy, Colin, Christian, Randy, Max, Dave, and … Continue reading Share Your Nostalgia
Share Your Nostalgia
The trial run of Share Your Nostalgia continues! This was an idea suggested to me by some fellow bloggers. The topic for this feature is "The Toy of Your Life." Was there one toy that you considered the "best?" When you think of yourself as a child, what is the toy that immediately pops into … Continue reading Share Your Nostalgia
A Personal Invite to YOU
I have been honored to take part in many features that are hosted by other bloggers and their sites. Honestly, writing for those features is really a lot of fun for me. Not to mention that you get some exposure for your blog on another site. Themed blog-a-thons about movies are always fun to write … Continue reading A Personal Invite to YOU
The Music of My Life – 1985
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 – 1985
The Music of My Life – 1970
As I celebrate birthday 54, I am borrowing (ok, stealing) an idea from another blogger. I have altered the idea a bit, and may decide to change it up after a few posts ... I am calling the feature "The Music of My Life." I plan on starting with the year I was born and … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 1970
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
The Starr of The Beatles
I was approached by my blogger buddy, Max, from the PowerPop Blog recently and asked to contribute something for his "Beatles Week" feature. In truth, it will probably go longer than a week as there are many talented writers participating with me. I think his original thought was to have each of us write about … Continue reading The Starr of The Beatles
Trying to Unblock Writer’s Block
I've been struggling to write. I'm sure it is because I have had a lot of things on my mind over the past couple weeks. The things on my mind are not necessarily things I want to write about. It's hard to be in this place. I'm still struggling to get through it, and pray … Continue reading Trying to Unblock Writer’s Block
I’m Thinking …
I stumbled on the above quote as I sat here thinking. If writing (or blogging) is the best way to improve my thinking, I figured I would just start typing and publish whatever winds up here. Looking Ahead I just finished another post for Dave Ruch's Turntable Talk recently and I have come to really … Continue reading I’m Thinking …
