What a week it’s been

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Does anyone remember the song I’m Driving My Life Away by Eddie Rabbit from the early 1980s? That’s my new theme song.
We got a phone call from Daughter Number Two saying that she didn’t have a ride home for the […]

A tribute to John Ritter

Most kids today probably remember John Ritter mainly as the father on Eight Simple Rules. I, however, am officially OLD and I can remember him playing Reverend Fordyce on The Waltons and, of course, Jack Tripper on Three’s Company.
For the last few years we have skipped current network television in favor of older shows […]

To be loved

About a week ago Granddaughter Number One decided that I was just the most important person on the planet and the world was going to end if she wasn’t in my arms. This is probably caused by the fact that I’ve always been her favorite person combined with the fact that I was gone all […]

Much better

Daughter Number Three has had a thing for videos by The Chipmunks for quite a while. I mean, to the point of driving me to distraction by quoting Alvin, Simon, and Theodore at some point during virtually every conversation.
Recently, however, she heard Carrie Underwood’s newest release, “I Told You So“, and she’s been walking around […]

An Anniversary

On this date in 1975, A steel freighter named the Edmond Fitzgerald was lost in Lake Superior. All twenty-nine men on board were lost. I cannot honestly say I remember it happening, but only because at the age of eleven I never bothered watching the evening news. The following year, Gordon Lightfoot released a song […]

Introducing…

Daughter Number Three has surprised me. I’ve made a comment or two on here about her disturbing interest in Alvin and The chipmunks combined with her apparent fascination with “Weird Al” Yankovic. Last night, I discovered why I’ve been hearing nothing but high-pitched singing coming from the computer in her room. She’s been making a […]

Would YOU drink from that glass?

I happened upon this video at a blog called I DON’T GIVE A BLEEP.
I’ve never had more than one or two occasions to stay in a hotel room, but after watching this, you can bet your bottom dollar that if I ever do again, I’ll be bringing (and cleaning) MY OWN drinking glass. What these […]

Man arrested for putting Ding Dongs in dryers.

Now, here’s someone with no life and a really twisted sense of humor.
A man in Salem, Arkansas has been charged with vandalism after being caught on surveillance video putting Ding Dong treats into running clothes dryers at a laundromat.

The part that caught my attention is the location. I’m sure most people have never heard of […]

Eastbound and Down

I was watching a youtube video that was embedded on a post at SilverMelody.com and, after it finished, youtube provided links to related videos, where I found this one.
The song, Eastbound And Down, is by Jerry Reed and it’s the theme song from the movie Smoky and The Bandit. The video portion consists of various […]

Christmas all year long

You know how every year around Christmas you here somebody say how people should keep the Christmas spirit all year long? Ever notice how you never hear comments like that anytime between December 26th and Thanksgiving Day?
I was browsing youtube videos this morning and found a group of people who really believe that sentiment. I […]
