Thursday Lyrics Post: Hole Hearted
This band lit it up on the hard rock scene in the 90's. Their guitar player was (is) amazing, singer strong with great stage presence, band right over all. This tune was one of their acoustic numbers, decidedly not hard, but full of fun energy for sure. -- Ooh yeah wooh Hey hey hey hey …
Thank You, Cokie
She passed on Tuesday at the age of 75. Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne Boggs. The story goes that her older, 3 year old brother couldn't pronounce "Corinne" when she came home from the hospital, he called her Cokie, and that was that. She had a keen, life-long deep understanding of politics, especially here in …
Moen Danco
We've had a leak in the kitchen sink faucet for quite a while. Nothing major, but enough to have a slow drip going pretty consistently. This past weekend I finally found (created?) a couple hours block of time to try fixing it. I watched a couple short videos to determine the right sequence for dis-assembling …
Dadlife, Dark Side
I talk a lot about the positive. I promote the upside of things, look for the silver lining even in bad situations. That's the fundamental credo of this blog: be positive, find positive, share positive. But sometimes the dark side creeps in. Sometimes the dark side is strong. Sometimes it's been a long day, or …
Let Love Make Us Whole
Nearly every day I pray. And nearly every day this idea is woven into the prayer: that love can fill in the holes in people's lives. I think about the many who suffer horrible circumstance, and I believe love can make the difference. It likely won't deliver people from their circumstance, but it can help …
Into the Weekend
Lots of lessons this week; seems like there are always lessons. And often they seem to be repeats. Maybe we keep learning the lessons we need most? I round out another week, thinking about the mistakes I made, the things I could have done better, the victories I had, the tidbits of getting better I …
Quiet Time
I value it so SO much: Quiet Time. Sometimes I don't get much, so when I do, I try to savor it all the more. I get up pretty early on work days, but otherwise I love the roll over for another hour of ZZZZZs. If magic happens at my house and everyone is in …
Lyrics Post: “The Champion”
This song is the first one on a playlist my wife created to get fired up. Mission Accomplished, I'll say that. Our kids love the music, and so do I. Our oldest said recently, "Mom, these songs have a lot of power...", or something like that. Yes honey, YES THEY DO. And this one kicks …
09/11/2019: REMEMBER
Eighteen years ago America was attacked. Almost 3,000 people were killed in that attack. We came to understand in an ugly, vicious, and history-changing way how much hatred there is for the country by some others. Those haters, those evil-doers, are still out there. America is still at war EIGHTEEN years later fighting the extremism …
