Remember when we all thought the year 2000 was so far away it would never come? Even better, remember when we all thought we would be living on the moon and driving spaceships by the year 2010? I am a child of the 80s. I remember very clearly the day my school got its first Apple 2c computer. I was… Read more »
I love music.Granted, I don’t think there are many people who would say that they don’t like music. But I really love music. I love playing music, I love listening to music and I even love karaoke. But my favorite thing about music is how it can affect you. I experienced just last night how the right music can help… Read more »
As anyone who’s known me for more than 5 minutes knows I LOVE Bon Jovi and I have since I was 13. They could put out an album called “Belching with Bon Jovi” and I would gladly buy it. That being said here are my thoughts on “The Circle” which was released on November 10th. The overall sound of the… Read more »
Am I the only person on the planet who doesn’t get super excited about Halloween? When I was a kid Halloween was pretty much reserved for elementary aged kids. Adults stayed home and handed out candy to said kids when they knocked on their doors in costume. But now it appears that adults are more into Halloween than kids are!… Read more »

I seem to have stumbled upon the secret for getting TONS of feedback (mostly via email and Facebook) on my blog. I had no idea how many people had such strong feelings about Homecoming antics! While I still disagree with most of you on this one I am very grateful and thankful for ALL of your comments and thoughts…. Read more »
I need someone to explain to me- in very small words- why vandalism in the name of tradition has become socially acceptable. This week is homecoming in several area towns and along with that is miles and miles of toilet paper strewn into every tree in sight. I have been told it’s harmless fun. No, it isn’t. Go ask… Read more »
I have had the Randy Travis song (recently remade by Carrie Underwood) “I Told You So” stuck in my head for 2 days now. And the worst part is that it’s Carrie’s version that’s lodged in my brain trying to drive me slowly insane. Don’t get me wrong- I think Carrie Underwood is very talented- but I just don’t think… Read more »
Tomorrow night my favorite season officially begins- FOOTBALL SEASON!!!!! (What? You were thinking of something else?) Yes, it’s the magical time of year when everything is possible and even the Detroit Lions are still in the playoff hunt! I love it! For the next 4 months on any given Sunday you can find me on my couch yelling… Read more »
