Song Lyric Sunday

For Song Lyric Sunday, Jim Adams has asked us to pick a song written or performed by someone who was born in the month of June. It is probably a coincidence that today would have been Dean Martin's 109th birthday, but it worked out nicely for this feature. Dean is my all time favorite singer, … Continue reading Song Lyric Sunday →

Birthday Shut Out

To celebrate my wife’s birthday, we took in a Detroit Tigers game at Comerica Park yesterday. It’s been over 10 years since I’ve been to a game. The last actual Tigers game we attended was in 2018 when we went to a Spring Training game in Florida. We got married the day before that game! … Continue reading Birthday Shut Out →

Turntable Talk #49 – “It’s No Act”

Once again, Dave from A Sound Day has offered up a great topic for his monthly Turntable Talk feature. His instructions to us were as follows: "Sting, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Madonna, they all felt drawn to acting after becoming music stars…with varying results. But for this round, I want to go the opposite route- … Continue reading Turntable Talk #49 – “It’s No Act” →

Happy Birthday, Babe

Now that it is officially her birthday, I want to wish my wife, Samantha, the happiest birthday ever! She is working tonight, but the kids and I made sure we sent her to work with one of her birthday presents. We did tell her she couldn’t open it until after midnight. It’s going to be … Continue reading Happy Birthday, Babe →

Changing Faces

I don't know who wrote this, but it certainly applies to each of my kids! Your little face. It's different from the face I once knew. It's changing from the face of yesterday. It'll be something new a few months from now. I carry all your faces deep in my heart with me. The first … Continue reading Changing Faces →

You Are My Moonshine, My Only Moonshine …

This is sort of a rerun from about 5 years ago. I wasn't going to reblog this until I got down to my personal moonshine story. Rereading it made me laugh out loud as I remembered the incident. It's time to celebrate National Moonshine Day! (Originally posted 6-5-21) From the National Day Calendar: Every June … Continue reading You Are My Moonshine, My Only Moonshine … →

I Khan’t Get Enough

I am not what you would call a "Trekkie." I do enjoy Star Trek (The Original Series and The Next Generation), but I'm not a fanatic. However, there is one movie that I will always stop and watch if it is on. It was on this day in 1982 that the BEST of all of … Continue reading I Khan’t Get Enough →

Life’s Little Moments

My brother took some time off from work last week and came up for a visit. Sadly, I worked most of the week, but we had some time during the weekend to catch up. The kids are always happy to see their uncles. We got to spend Friday evening with them before the kids went … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Top Ten Tuesday

This is the first time I have participated in this, but the prompt got me wondering. That Artsy Reader Girl wants to know the Top Ten Books That I Can't Believe I've Never Read. I know for a fact that there are plenty of "classics" that I have never read. Despite the praise for many … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday →

Tune Tuesday – I Can’t Stop Loving You

64 years ago today, Ray Charles got his third #1 record when I Can't Stop Loving You topped the charts. The song itself not originally released as a single. The story of how it came to be released is an interesting one. Songfacts.com tells the story: Charles was known as a gospel and R&B singer, … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – I Can’t Stop Loving You →
