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!

Friday Photo Flashback
Sam and I were discussing how badly we want to go on a little vacation. One of the possible destinations was Mackinac, MI. It is located at the tip of the mitten where the Mackinac Bridge connects the Upper Peninsula to the Lower Peninsula. As a kid, my folks took my brother and I there … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
The Music of My Life – 1980
Welcome back to The Music of My Life, where I feature ten songs from each year of my life. In most cases, the ten songs I choose will be ones I like personally (unless I explain otherwise). The songs will be selected from Billboard’s Year-end Hot 100 Chart, Acclaimed Music, and will all be released … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 1980
Spring Rerun – Tube Tunes
I'm adapting this post from a few years ago because of a couple recent articles on MSN about TV theme songs. I clicked on one about the Top 30 best TV Theme songs, and that lead to MSN offering up many other "TV theme song" articles and lists, naturally. At any rate, back when this … Continue reading Spring Rerun – Tube Tunes

From the National Day Calendar: Every June 5th is National Moonshine Day which recognizes a beverage with a notorious record of blurring the lines of history and the law, turning ordinary men (and women) into criminals and common criminals into legends.

I Hope They Don’t Have to Blast!
When you work mid-nights like I do, you look forward to winter. I sleep better in the winter. The only thing that can really wake you up outside is the garbage truck or a snow plow. In the summer, however, you have kids outside playing, people weed whacking and mowing their lawn, and extremely loud … Continue reading I Hope They Don’t Have to Blast!
Don’t Repeat After Me …
The word for today, dear reader is "Echolalia". Echolalia is a normal part of learning language. A child learns how to use language by repeating what they hear around them. So echolalia is basically when children repeat what you say. I was reminded of a story, which prompted me to write this blog today. That … Continue reading Don’t Repeat After Me …
Is it “Binge” Worthy?
