When it comes to brain health, give me songs, real songs, any day of the week. And I think it’s important to add that little reference to “real songs” because there are a lot of fake ones out there now. … Read the rest
Sure, I could’ve (and maybe should’ve) said daily bread instead of daily grain. But that wouldn’t have rhymed with the retrain your brain part. So, I took some poetic license. And there you have it. Now, what’s all this retrain … Read the rest
Sleepiness is something I have to deal with a lot more of during my recovery process. Over the course of my life napping didn’t interest me. Because it always felt like a waste of good daylight. But, as it turns … Read the rest

A few years ago I visited a functional medicine doctor. And he suggested some biomarker testing. In particular, a blood test, known as the A1C or HA1C. Because he wanted to take a closer look at what might be going … Read the rest
No, I haven’t taken up golfing. So, the one stroke I speak of is the kind of stroke you don’t wanna get even once. But on April 17, yeah, just last month, I had one sneak up on me and … Read the rest
So, this catchy tune popped into my head this morning. And I thought, “Hmm, that might go real nice with some lyrics I wrote a few years ago.” Then, I sat down in my vocal booth and fired up the … Read the rest
I read a blurb that said kids still like to do things kids have done for decades. Like turn a spoon into a spaceship. Or turn a cardboard box into a castle. But now kids do funny things online because…well, … Read the rest
I never met a honey bee I didn’t like. And, maybe it’s just my imagination (because I have a powerful imagination), but I think they like me, too. Because every honey bee I see smiles at me. Now, I gotta … Read the rest
