The Unwanted Vacation

I had planned a very different post for today. Instead, I am finally up and about after a long night. Last night was a fairly normal night at work. One of our labs needed an oxygen concentrator, so I put one of ours in my car and made the 30 minute drive there. I dropped … Continue reading The Unwanted Vacation →

A Lesson Learned From a Classic

Dabney Coleman passed away recently at the age of 92. He was one of those great actors who always seemed to be playing a jerk in the movies. He played those characters so well, it is hard to believe that he was actually the opposite of that in real life. As an actor, he appeared … Continue reading A Lesson Learned From a Classic →

A Mood Changer

Pardon me while I become "toddler dad" for a minute... When you become a parent, you lose the option to watch TV ... at least when your kids are awake. Most days I watch all the PBS shows (Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Wild Kratts, Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum) or the various stuff from Nick … Continue reading A Mood Changer →

Four Things You Can’t Recover …

My last blog was 7 days ago. I had hoped to write for Tune Tuesday, I wanted to write a birthday blog for my wife, do a Top 10 song list for Dean Martin's birthday and post a couple blogs as well, but I am a procrastinator.
