We’ve been waiting years to be able to bring the kid with us to the gym to work out. She finally reached the right age, so over the weekend my wife took her over to the gym and signed her up. And today was her first day. Continue reading “The Good Stuff”
I don’t know what is going on but when I got up this morning I actually felt energized and excited about the day. Maybe it was the spring like weather the past few days, or the big Trump speech a few days ago. Or maybe it’s just the pollen. Whatever it was, I felt good. Full of ideas and ready to get them done. Wonder how long it will last… Continue reading “Feeling Good?”
March 1st and it was 80 degrees today, but really windy. And big storms coming tonight. March really is coming in like a lion. It’s great, though, because I got to wear shorts to work for the first time in a while – which made it easier on my gym visit. No reason to drag a change of clothes in and visit the locker room. Life is so much better when you can wear shorts and flip flops all the time. Especially in the winter. Continue reading “In Like a Lion”
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, digging the Dancing Queen
In the late 70’s when I was 9 or 10, I found myself in a store staring at a 45 record. I didn’t own any records – at least none like this. I had some children song collections and a Mozart album.

How can life feel like it has lost all it’s meaning while at the same time be so emotional? How can you sometimes feel so hopeless and lost, but yet plan for the future? How does one worry about the lawn or money or work or the dog barking next door when everything could be snatched away in an instant? Like it has for people we used to know. How do we go on knowing it will happen to us too? And why and how, if life is so fragile, have we made it this far? All the big questions to keep us up at night – and to write songs about – and to listen to songs about. So while the World Spins Madly On for, hopefully, our 100 Years, let’s do our best to Float On. Continue reading “A Lifetime of Music #5”
Songs can define big moments in life, and there have been a number of songs that have been there alongside our big moments. From the first concert my wife and I went to when we first were dating, to our Last Dance at our wedding, to the Beautiful Day of taking our daughter home after being born… Continue reading “A Lifetime of Music #4”
My daughter has been on a roll lately, and here is my chance to give her some well earned kudos:
Here are some more selections from my collection of music favorites over the years. This time around lets remember back to first seeing Jesus on that barstool in Miami, get Way Away listening to sympathetic lies, and reflect back to a fond memory. Continue reading “A Lifetime of Music #3”
I’ve spent my whole life being sucked into the lyrics and emotion of music and it’s had a big impact on everything for me. I’m sure for you too. Let’s explore what I’ve discovered and held close over the years in a series of selections Continue reading “A Lifetime of Music #1”
