I Smell Like a Shamrock!

Ok, to be fair, I don't know what a shamrock smells like. I tried to look it up on Google and got answers like: "...the fresh scent of lush, green hills kissed by a sparkle of sunshine..." " ...shamrock's smell like freshly poured Guinness, of course!" "...Shamrock kinda just smells like dirt and grass..." For some reason or another mint … Continue reading I Smell Like a Shamrock! →

Turntable Talk – The First Time’s the Charm!

It is time for another round of Turntable Talk, hosted by Dave at A Sound Day.

Friday Photo Flashback

Welcome to another edition of the Friday Photo Flashback feature! This time around we go back to 1988 (and 1999). In the past it has been fun for me to find a picture and examine the things in the background.

Relating to Cartoon Dogs

"Oh boy. Here goes Keith talking about that Bluey show again. Isn't that a kid show? Why does he watch that?" I relate to it! There, I said it. There are so many things about this show that I can relate to! For example, in our house, Sam and I cannot use the bathroom without … Continue reading Relating to Cartoon Dogs →

Christmas 2022 – A Look Back

Giving Thanks (Updated)

When I worked on the radio, we would often “recycle” bits. We would take something we had done in the past and “re-run” it, often updating it to be current. This blog is actually a recycling of an earlier Thanksgiving blog from three years ago, updated for 2022. I have gained many new followers over … Continue reading Giving Thanks (Updated) →

Friday Photo Flashback

It's time for another Friday Photo Flashback. Once again, today's installment was prompted by something I noticed on Facebook. Many of my friends are posting their child's Senior pictures. Back in the day, you went to a studio and they took your yearbook headshot and a few other forced poses. Today, many opt to go … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

It's time for another Friday Photo Flashback. 42 years ago this week, the movie Somewhere in Time was released.
