Last week I saw a tweet that showed the top 20 songs from the first week of May 1969. "Hmm," I thought, "I do a look back at music for certain years, what's on this list?" I was happily surprised to see that I had most of these songs, so I decide…

Nothing is so beautiful as spring. -Hopkins
A cold spring:
the violet was flawed on the lawn.

I don't want to spoil anything by saying this, but are we actually starting to experience this phenomenon called sping? Temperatures were in the 60's here yesterday, and there was even a giant yellow orb sighting later in the day. Looking at the …

Hi, this is a little late today as I had problems with the microphone (I know, I know, beyond my normal problems). I cleaned everything up this morning and it seems to work. So I was able to get the podcast done for today. Mission accomplished. M…

Holidays have become times for visiting family, and we'll be heading off to visit my son and his wife. So I'm going to post this early, as my Sunday will be busy with an Easter egg hunt and whatnot.
Have a happy Eas…

Tax Day is coming up - hope everyone has filed. I do my taxes fairly early, and since I usually pay in, I file at the last possible minute. I try to make sure that I don't pay in a lot, but why let the government have your money for free? Sure, …

I generally don't feel like I'm getting old. Sure, with arthritis in the left knee I can have a slight limp after I sit for a while, but overall I still feel good. But, a week ago I went off to fetch something down the hill at my house, and it wa…
We're getting ready to close the first quarter of 2019 - went by quickly, didn't it? Is it that as we get older time speeds up (isn't that part of Einstein's theory)? The second quarter of the year I generally designate as spring. April showers b…
Well, I didn't expect my St. Patrick's Day thoughts to be such a hot take. I get it - some people like St. Paddy's Day. Like many celebrations, it does signify the beginning of Spring, which is March 20.
I was a litt…
I hate St. Patrick's Day. We're not all Irish today, and never did I need an excuse to drink way more than I should have (those days are over now anyway).
So, on my name day, this is just an excuse for bad behavior.…
So the recent articles I've read have told me that I'm not mad at Daylight Savings Time, but really I'm mad at Standard Time. Who told me that I was mad? I've gotten used to going to work in the dark and coming home at night in the dark - it's be…
There's an old saying (dates back to the 19th Century, apparently) that says March goes in like a lion and out like a lamb to predict the weather for the month. I suppose it's conditional: "if March goes in like a lion..." March 1 was pretty mild…
Sunrise is 6:30, so technically I got up after sunrise. The clouds are thick this morning, and there was a slight dusting overnight, so I am not seeing the sun itself. My car has fairy dust sprinkled on it, and should easily be cleaned off before…
Happy President's Day. Let's...buy a car? Other than we need a day off in the winter, is there a true reason for President's Day? We celebrated Washington and Lincoln's birthdays back in the day - don't know if either was a real holiday ( …
It's coming on Valentine's Day. Hmm, it's been around a long time, and not just as a Hallmark day. Started out, naturally, as a Saint's Day (or 2 or 3 - lots of Valentinus were running around back in the day). Like most old saints, they were kill…
My son and his wife are vacationing in Costa Rica. We've been getting pictures of the beautiful resort they're staying in and photos of the wildlife they've seen (an ocelot, sloths, snakes, etc.). We visited Costa Rica back in 2015, and we were v…
Hey, you know how I threaten to post on occasional Wednesdays? This is occasional Wednesday - February 6, 2019. Got some jazz tunes for y'all to listen to today.
So take some time and tap your feet to Dave Pike, Pe…
The Super Bowl is today. Here's what will happen: one team will win, and the fans will be happy. One team will lose, and the fans of that team will think that they were robbed. There will be a bad call by the referees. This may be used as the rea…
Another Sunday, another post. 52 a year (just once a week - I'm not huge on social media) for going on 5 years. Not always a lot to talk about. This week, we'll get the government back up and going (for three weeks - 3, just 3). I guess I'll find…
The snowpocalypse scheduled for this weekend has once again (sort of) fizzled out, and instead of snow all day we're getting freezing rain. Bring on the snow, I say. Much easier to deal with snow than frozen rain. Ugh - lots of wor…
It's cold. Usually the cold doesn't affect me, but lately, I'm starting to feel it. Maybe it's time to start taking the "Move South" movement my wife's on seriously. In past years I've shrugged off bad weather; maybe it's a temporary thing. Let's…
How's your January going? Are you keeping up on your New Year's resolutions? January seems to be the month of broken resolutions. How long does it take you to give up on your list? Have you kept up on your list past the first weekend? Good intent…
Hey, thought I'd welcome everybody into 2019 with some rocking tunes from 2018. I've peppered the podcast with tunes that I've enjoyed from 2018. It's not a best of, just a bunch of songs that fit together from last year.
Let's enjoy…
Quick Merry Christmas to everyone. As always, try to remember the reason for the season (no, it's not the acquisition of presents) and be nice to your fellow man. Let's hope that the people who have unexpected days off this Christmas have a short…
So, the sound test. I had my iPhone (forgot to grab a couple of CD's) for my 3-hour trip to Bangor, Maine. Overall the sound is very good, and you do get decent separation among the instruments. Better engineered tracks sounded better than some o…
Will do - thanks.
