A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet”

I believe the saying goes "A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet!" Thanks to this blog and social media, I have been able to connect with some friends who I have never met face to face. One of those friends is Mr. Puppet. A few days ago, I posted a blog about random … Continue reading A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet” →

Turntable Talk #8 – Best Year In Music?

Once again, Dave from A Sound Day has asked some of us music lovers to participate in another round of Turntable Talk. This time around was a bit of a challenge for me.

This Little Piggy Likes to Rock and Roll

When Sam and I started dating, my wardrobe consisted of many "band" shirts. I had shirts from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, and many more. At one point she started wearing my shirts, so I made sure to get her a couple for her birthday. Band shirts has been an inside joke … Continue reading This Little Piggy Likes to Rock and Roll →

Friday Photo Flashback

This is a "feature" I started a couple weeks ago with a Daily Writing Prompt. It's been fun to find a photo to write about each week. This week's gem comes from way back! Yes, that is me!

Weekend Wrap Up

What a crazy weekend! As much as I hate not getting a lot of sleep, I have to admit that some of the funniest stories I write about are due to lack of sleep. Take Saturday for example: We needed groceries and a few things, so Sam went to the store. On her way home, … Continue reading Weekend Wrap Up →

Sooner Than Later?

To quote the Beatles song, "It Won't Be Long!" It's been some time since I've given an update on our baby boy, and after today's OB appointment, now is a good time to do so. Sam has really had a rough time the last few weeks, and as we enter the final month her discomfort … Continue reading Sooner Than Later? →

Happy 79th to Capitol Records

On this day in 1942, Johnny Mercer and Glenn Wallichs launched Capitol Records in the United States. Wallichs was the man who invented the art of record promotion by sending copies of new releases to disc jockeys. It wasn't until 13 years later, in 1955, that the now famous Capitol Records building was built. The … Continue reading Happy 79th to Capitol Records →

Super Tune Top Ten

It's been awhile since I posted a musical blog, so in a way this is overdue. In a way, it is also sort of a twist on a combination of older blogs. What Prompted This Blog? While I wouldn't consider my daughter a "TV Head," PBS Kids or Disney Channel is usually on in the … Continue reading Super Tune Top Ten →
