It’s been a while since I posted a health update. And this is not much as updates go. But on January 13th I headed to UC Denver Health, where the neuro-team said my Chiari malformation was not doing anything. Good night everybody! If you read a little irritation into this, I’m writing irritation into it. … Continue reading Health Update(ish) And More
Mike Garwood passed away December 16, 2007. We’ll start with what I wrote on my MySpace blog the very day I heard the news that Mike had died. (Photos added and captioned in 2019.) I’ll see you at the end. I received the call today, this morning, that Mike Garwood had passed away. This was not a … Continue reading Remembering Mike Garwood
This little tradition started on MySpace, was transitioned to Facebook, and from here on will find a home on the ol’ blog. The first year I did this I was 33 years old, so I wrote 33 things for which I was thankful. Since I wrote the original list of 33 I have lost a … Continue reading The Thanks-Giving: 2019
Disney Plus! A streaming service which has scores of animated classics, every episode of the Simpsons, most Muppet movies and a bunch of other stuff. I signed up for this weeks ago, knowing it would be appealing. My greatest hopes for Disney+ were that they would throw a bone to old-school fans like me, and … Continue reading (Walt) Disney+: First Day Thoughts
Not too very long ago I wrote something here on the old bloggerino about people needing to be more civil and kind on Facebook. It’s that whole thing of people being really brave when they don’t have to look a person in the eye. Well, today I got into a little bit of a brou-ha-ha … Continue reading Those Good Old Days
Kalin Krohe is one of my best friends. He makes every creative endeavor I attempt better; he is my lunch buddy; he has helped me through some of the hardest times of my life and shared in my greatest achievements. But sometimes, as friends do, we get into a good old fashioned donnybrook. Yesterday at … Continue reading “Handle With Care!” (Or, “Pay The Damn 18 Dollars”)
Each morning as I make my way to Radio City for another morning broadcast, I am accompanied by passing vehicles, the occasional dog bark, and…that’s about it. Sometimes a jogger or dog-walker will greet me and I will croak out a “Good morning.” But mostly it’s just me and what Paul Harvey referred to as … Continue reading The Kindness Of Strangers
I have been enjoying Ken Burns’ “Country Music” series on PBS quite a bit this week. It’s a tremendous deep dive into every era of country music…the chapter I watched last night included sections on Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis as “rockabilly” challenged traditional country music in the 1950s. As I’m sure you can … Continue reading Music Cities USA!
TPIR stands for “The Price is Right.” (In case that isn’t clear.) I think Drew Carey is a fine host. He’s certainly better today than he was his first couple of years. I’d have chosen Marc Summers for the job-he was a great host on “Double Dare” and actually interned with Barker on “Truth Or … Continue reading 10 Things I Miss About The Bob Barker Era of “TPIR”
I got a letter today encouraging me to join “Nextdoor”, an online network for jes’ good ol’ neighborinos to chat about what’s going on in our neck of the woods. Isn’t that dandy? The letter also promised lots of info on the site regarding “crime and safety issues.” The irony is delicious. No….no, the irony … Continue reading Neil Sedaka Sings “Right Nextdoor To A Scammer”
