Let me tell you a story. On March 6th, 2020 my ol’ buddy Kalin Krohe and I went to Chadron to see singer/songwriter Branson Anderson at the Bean Broker. It was a fantastic evening of great music, great food and drink, and a healthy supply of shenanigans. Branson Anderson at the Bean Broker, 3/6/20. Branson … Continue reading Branson Is Back! (The Musician, Not The Place)
Alternate Titles: “Ass Attack”, “Donkey Wrong”, “Mule Never Forget It!” My friend Tami and I go on all sorts of fun travel adventures. Today we headed for South Dakota. The headline attraction was Wall Drug Store, the touristy mecca that was loaded with goofy photo ops. But first: DONKEYS! Tami, you see, has been visiting … Continue reading Donkey-Maggedon!
I am going to curb my enthusiasm for 2023, because 2022 was one of the best years of my life. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not writing off the new year before it happens or anything. 2023 will eventually mark my 25th radioversary with KCOW…I have a pretty major vacation adventure planned for May…and … Continue reading Wentyworld 2022: The Year In Review

If you aren’t familiar with her stand-up, you might recognize her from a variety of cartoon voice acting roles and a series of collaborations with Weird Al Yankovic. In 1996 or … Continue reading Facing The Goddess: The Day I Met Judy Tenuta
So, every month I pay a few bucks to an outfit called Dreamhost to host Wentyworld.com. Which I am happy to pay–but I do feel a little regret if I don’t actually generate content for the website. I mean, I’m never going to be one of these people who post new stuff every day. My … Continue reading My Mel Torme Story
Facebook and my laptop are not playing nice lately where photo galleries are concerned. I lovingly, tenderly arrange photos, write pithy comments, and then Facebook scrambles all the photos up so the whole thing makes absolutely no sense to anybody. So, I have decided to just post the photos, and a couple of song videos, … Continue reading Let’s Hang On To What We Got.
On Monday May 23rd I returned to Alliance after a marvelous weeklong getaway to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Since I’ve already stolen the Larry King blog template, I am swiping the format from an old TV Guide column to gather many topics here. “Cheers” (in case I have to explain this) are for … Continue reading Walt Disney World: Cheers and Jeers
Here is is, my week of emotions. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be glad you don’t live in the apartment under mine. Anxiety. At the beginning of this week, I noticed the carpet in my bathroom, in front of my tub, was damp. I contacted the property owner. The maintenance man, with a plumber, worked … Continue reading Emotions!
It has been ages since i wrote a blog post. And since I’m paying good money for this domain name, I shouldn’t let that happen too often. But there have been many things competing for my attention with the blank white screen of my WordPress template. So I figured I’d tell you what I’m enjoying–what’s … Continue reading Things I Am Enjoying
In looking back at the last three or four months, they were an incredibly productive time for this little blog o’mine. I wrote lengthy, time-intensive pieces…two original radio theater scripts…a handful of vintage TV articles, a book review, a DVD review…busy, busy, busy! (Billy DeWolfe, we salute you.) But summer! Summer is the time for … Continue reading Checking In
