If you have read my blogs in the past, you know that it consists of a mixture of pop culture things (like movie, TV and music thoughts) and personal things (radio stories, school memories, and things from my childhood). As I thought about today's blog topic, I realized that without this man in my life … Continue reading Happy 79th Birthday, Pop!

Book Recommendation – Ward D
Since discovering the Libby App, my wife and I have been listening to almost all of our books in the car. She gets through hers faster than me, as she tends to be able to listen to them at work, too. She will grab books that I already have on my Goodreads "Want to Read" … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Ward D
Book Recommendation: How to Solve Your Own Murder

Spring Rerun – Tube Tunes

Take a peak: If I was going to put a date on this, it is probably around 1996 or 1997. It looks like it was taken … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

We have come to the eighth round of the Hanspostcard TV Show Draft. I have already picked Columbo and Perry Mason, and for this round I have another mystery show.

TV Show Draft – Round 4 – Columbo
Welcome to my fourth round pick in the Hanspostcard TV Draft. Last round I chose Perry Mason, which was the ultimate court room "whodunit!" You never knew who committed the crime until the end of the episode. I thought it appropriate to choose Columbo for this round, because it is almost the exact opposite of … Continue reading TV Show Draft – Round 4 – Columbo
