Waikiki Meatballs

When I was growing up, my mom used to have this yellow plastic recipe card holder. For some reason or another, I think that it was loaded with these cards from Betty Crocker. At any rate, she made quite a few recipes from this box - most of which I hated! One of those meals … Continue reading Waikiki Meatballs →

Mom Memory – Ceramics

My brother was decorating for Christmas today and sent me a picture. That picture is the inspiration for this blog. I don't recall blogging about this specific topic, but if I have, please forgive me. My mom had many hobbies. I know I have mentioned them in the past. I can always remember her crocheting … Continue reading Mom Memory – Ceramics →

The Many Roles of … Mom

When you become a mother, you become more than a mother. You take on a variety of roles. In the 9 months that Ella has been with us, I have seen my wife, Sam, take on many of these roles. Before we ever got married, I was amazed at all the things she did. She … Continue reading The Many Roles of … Mom →

“Hello Again, Hello …”

Long time ... no blog Hello, my friend.  Sorry I have been away for a bit.  My last blog led to many friends on Facebook reaching out to see if I was okay.  I wasn't.  When I wrote that blog, I obviously was a bit frazzled, but had yet to reach my breaking point.  That … Continue reading “Hello Again, Hello …” →

A Golden Gift

Outside of a wedding ring, I don't know many men who wear a lot of jewelry (unless they are a rapper!).  I know a few guys who wear a chain around their neck or maybe a bracelet.  I don't wear much jewelry, and up until a year or so ago, I only wore a ring.  … Continue reading A Golden Gift →

Tears on My Pillow

I'm a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist. Those are some fancy words for "Sleep Tech". I watch people sleep. I test them for sleep apnea, and treat them with PAP therapy when needed. People ask me all kinds of questions about sleep. I know a lot about sleep. People also ask me a lot about dreams. I … Continue reading Tears on My Pillow →

Oh Christmas Tree …

Happy December to you! Maybe it is because Thanksgiving was so late this year, but it is hard to believe that we are less than a month from Christmas! The reality of that sunk in this weekend as I did a couple shifts at Cars 108 and we are playing all Christmas music. One song … Continue reading Oh Christmas Tree … →

What’s in a name?

The title of this blog is a reference to a great quote by William Shakespeare: Based on Mr. Shakespeare's quote, names really shouldn't matter that much. I think many of us would disagree with him. I mean, a name is often the first thing we learn about a person, right? It is also one of … Continue reading What’s in a name? →

Back in Time?

All writers get writer's block.  I am hardly a "writer", but sometimes stare at the blank page and wonder what to write about.  Since I began blogging, I have stumbled on blogs written by others who share some of the same interests as me.  I have followed blogs that feature movies, TV, music, nostalgia, positive … Continue reading Back in Time? →

Time. Life. Death. Ripples.

The longest song I ever played on the air was Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie which is just over 18 minutes long.  We played this on the classic rock station (and sometimes on the oldies station) every Thanksgiving.  To those who love the song, it was the perfect length.  To those who hated the song, … Continue reading Time. Life. Death. Ripples. →
