It’s Getting a Bit Thin Up There!
When I was a kid, my hair was so thick, the stylist would have to use thinning shears. If only I had a dollar for every time I heard, “You’ll never have to worry about a lack of hair!” Um, yeah. My first thought is how the passing of time can be so cruel. I’m […]

27 Year Old vs 58 Year Old?
If you’re like most people, you’re hoping to see Iron Mike knock Jake Paul out tonight. There’s a certain nostalgia to seeing Mike Tyson enter the ring. After all, he’s arguably the greatest boxer that’s ever lived. His record is incredible. But with the passage of time comes age, and with age comes deficits. A […]

The Habit I Cannot Break!
This blog is going to get a bit personal. You’ve been warned! Some habits are tough to break. Some are downright impossible. 22 years ago, I quit smoking. That was a huge accomplishment. 12 years ago, I got healthy and lost over 50 lbs. Another huge accomplishment for me. I know this is gross, and […]

Ode to Elwood
You may not recognize the name Elwood Edwards, but I can guarantee that you know his voice. In 1989, Elwood recorded the voice prompts for America Online. AOL was the way a majority of us (now old people) connected to the Internet back in the day. After hearing the sound of our 14.4, 28.8, or […]

Kindness Wins!
Well, there’s no doubt about it. This was a hard fought campaign for both candidates. The unfortunate side of elections is all of the negative “mudslinging” that happens between all parties. Whether or not your candidate won, I think most of us are thankful that it is over. No more negative campaign ads! It’s certainly […]

Thank you!
Today is National First Responders Day. I want to say “thank you” to all of the heroic and brave men and women that serve as first responders. Firefighters, police, EMT’s, paramedics, among others….put themselves in harms way to help and protect us. They are often the first to arrive, and take immediate action in the […]

Politics and Humanity
Well, there’s no doubt about it. We are in the heat of the political firestorm known as election season. I’m sure a lot of people agree that the happiest days are the ones that follow an election. Not necessarily because one candidate is victorious and another is not, but rather, the end of the election […]

Apples!
So yesterday on the air, I mentioned how it was National Apple Day. Last weekend, we visited the apple orchard for the first time this season. I was faced with the dilemma of choosing Honeycrisp or SweeTango. Both are equally delicious, but the Honeycrisp lives up to its name, super crunchy and very sweet! I […]

Tipping
It’s an age-old question. How much should I tip? With restaurant/bar servers, 15%-20% has been the golden rule for many years. But these days, with seemingly everyone putting out the tip jar (even in situations where tipping isn’t usually part of the equation) you might ask yourself if that rule still applies. I’m generally a […]

Go Away, Milton!
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of our friends and the good people of Florida, as they face the wrath of Hurricane Milton. We sincerely hope that everyone has heeded the warnings from emergency management officials and taken the necessary precautions to protect themselves and their loved ones. Natural disasters of this magnitude require […]

Snakes!!!
What is it about this time of year that brings out the snakes!? I live in a wooded area, with nearby lakes and wetland. Nearly on a daily basis, I see a snake slithering across our road, or in my yard. Usually it’s when I’m walking through the yard unsuspectingly……and BAM, there’s a snake at […]
