Blogging About My Journaling (Sometimes a C+ Effort Produces A+ Results)
Social media and the Internet has produced, what I call, “Guru World.” Everyone’s an expert. Everyone has it figured out. Everyone is perfect, disciplined, has routines, and has 100% success rates. No they don’t. And I certainly don’t. And that’s OK. What is better?… Continue Reading “Blogging About My Journaling (Sometimes a C+ Effort Produces A+ Results)”
Turkeys Cannot Fly
If you work in the radio industry and you’re over age 50 (or you’re young and work with people over 50), you probably know about the classic sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. And if you know the show, you probably know about one of their most… Continue Reading “Turkeys Cannot Fly”
Angry Old Man Discount Tire Edition
I’ll say it here. My 20-year-old daughter is cute, blonde, and tiny. I worry sometimes about how the world will treat her. So far, the world has been pretty good. But not so much yesterday. She lived through the most stereotypical chauvinistic treatment from… Continue Reading “Angry Old Man Discount Tire Edition”
Weezer at Pine Knob, June 18th, 2023
Three things you’re about to learn. I’m a massive hypocrite. The proper way to record a performance at a concert. And my latest Weezer experience.

Duck. Duck. Gone?
I was gonna be a duck dad. The one silver lining of this winter’s massive ice and heavy-snow storm and all the downed branches was, quite by accident, a little duck made a nest in my giant pile of evergreen limbs and I was… Continue Reading “Duck. Duck. Gone?”
My 2022 Christmas Card Letter
I wish I could send everyone a copy of my ’22 family Christmas card and enclosed Christmas card letter, but postage stamps are expensive. Lucky you if I deem you worthy of .50-cents. No, really. I’m a very lucky guy. I have so many… Continue Reading “My 2022 Christmas Card Letter”
Don the Hero, Part 1
I forget how many times I’ve been a hero, but it’s alot. I’m like Batman. What’s my latest bit of heroism? I’m glad you asked. Starting in December, I started getting calls on my cell phone from people saying they’d like to schedule a… Continue Reading “Don the Hero, Part 1”
My Grandpa’s Eulogy
Finally. I’ve challenged myself a few times in my life, but this is something I’ve feared and procrastinated about for years. My procrastination might be going on a decade. In previous posts I’ve mentioned I want to take all the eulogies, wedding toasts, and… Continue Reading “My Grandpa’s Eulogy”
Life Changing Moments (and Weekends)
This past weekend I spent 3-nights in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula living “off the grid” as much as this pretty city boy could. My brother-in-law has a hunting compound he’s built with a friend on 100-acres. No running water. No electricity. No Wi-Fi. This “weekend… Continue Reading “Life Changing Moments (and Weekends)”
I Do What Tim Ferriss Says
Because I do whatever Tim Ferriss says in his podcasts, I ordered the Mizzen+Main “Beckett” blue gingham dress shirt and used promo code ‘TIM’ and got a Henley shirt for free. And I knew I was responding to an ad. I knew it. I know… Continue Reading “I Do What Tim Ferriss Says”
