Book Recommendation – The Book of Cold Cases

A friend of ours is always good about sharing books that she enjoyed with my wife and I. My wife actually read this one first, and I was able to read it this week. I went into this book only knowing the title and that it had a "true crime" aspect to it. The Book … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Book of Cold Cases →

Book Recommendation – The Radio Ghost

I was between books recently and the ones I was waiting for were still unavailable. So I searched for something quick to tide me over until my next read.

A Golden Age of Radio Classic

I'm a firm believer in using your imagination. In today's society, we can plop down in front of the TV and watch shows and not really have to think about what's going on. Everything is right there on the screen. However, back in the days before television, there was radio. Radio was a medium that … Continue reading A Golden Age of Radio Classic →

Book Recommendation – Famous Last Words

A couple years ago, I stumbled on a really good mystery/time travel story - Wrong Place, Wrong Time. It was written by an unfamiliar artist to me named Gillian McAllister.

I thought I would offer up something better. Think about books versus movies for just a second.

Prompt: Nighttime Rituals

A few of the blogs I follow posted this yesterday. I guess there is a Throwback Thursday prompt each week by a couple sites I cannot remember off the top of my head. I thought this was a very neat set of questions to think back on and answer. After I publish this, I will … Continue reading Prompt: Nighttime Rituals →

Library Memories

Yesterday's blog about taking Ella to the library led to various conversations that brought back many of my own library memories. My first trip to the library was of course during grade school. We always had a day during the week where we could go and check out a book. There were some occasions where … Continue reading Library Memories →

My Mind Overflows With Random Thought

Life used to have a routine. I could plan my day. Phrases like: Business as usual, status quo, day to day affairs, normal activities, daily grind, staying the course, standard practice, and as per usual - don't mean anything anymore. Nothing is normal anymore. As a midnight shift worker, it's hard to know what day … Continue reading My Mind Overflows With Random Thought →

Guest Blogger: My Baby Brother

Introduction: A week or so ago, I posted a blog stating that I was toying with the idea of inviting someone to be a guest blogger. Without hesitation, my younger brother Christopher said he would love to write one. Let me say that he is WAY more qualified to write than I am. He has … Continue reading Guest Blogger: My Baby Brother →
