It’s been a weird April this year. And I’m in a particularly contemplative way as I think about what the past 7 days included. A second drive to Kansas, in the past couple of months. But not for fun. Because on April 17 a group of family and friends memorialized my Mom. And just two days later was the anniversary of my Dad’s birthday. … The rest of the story…
The short speeches were over. The room was put back in order. And the leftovers, sound system, and other ceremonial items were carried out, packed into cars, and driven away. So, all that was left of this celebration of my Mom’s life was the spreading the ashes part. My younger brother suggested “the old farm” where our family had lived decades before. And the … The rest of the story…
Today was the day. Friends and family spent time together, in the little town of Gardner, Kansas, celebrating Mom. She died on February 11 of this year (2021) and left the aches and pains of this world to go live in Heaven. And I was thankful we were celebrating mom, and not just mourning. For the past several years I called Mom just about … The rest of the story…
I was a big fan of the popular duo from the seventies, Loggins and Messina. And when my brother and I started actually getting paid to play music, Loggins and Messina songs were a significant part of our repertoire. They released a double album of their live performances. And that collection was called “On Stage” (go figure). And one section of the 4th side … The rest of the story…
Hey, you might not know it. But I’m a podcasting host. And the podcast is zooming up on 700 episodes. But, to most of the listening (and non-listening) world, I’m still a ghost. Yeah, I know it’s hard to believe that your ol’ palsy walsy, Tony might not be a household name all around the world. But it’s true. So, this long-suffering podcasting host … The rest of the story…
Are you a business owner? Or an entrepreneur? Or a wannabe of some sort? And would you like to know how to blend in and fly under the radar? Because who’d wanna create stand-out ads or marketing in this chaotic world? I mean, besides those knuckleheads who wanna make more money and be prepared for even more chaos. But that sounds like too much … The rest of the story…
54 years ago, today, something stupid happened. And a few people made a bunch of money because of it. Yeah, apparently there were lots of people in America and England who played a part in this event. In fact, I’m sure there were plenty of them who celebrated it. And it wasn’t the only time something stupid happened like that. But I’m not gonna … The rest of the story…
I’ve talked about Nikola Tesla. And his life story interests me for maybe a couple of reasons. One is the fact that he spent a couple of research years right here in Colorado Springs, my current home town. And the other is his focus on the unseen realm of our world. He was a brilliant man with somewhere around 111 patents to his name. … The rest of the story…
Have you ever prayed and asked God to help you to not be like the wicked people of the world? It’s a good prayer because a wicked person, who doesn’t ask for forgiveness, will spend eternity with his (or her) worst enemy. Self. And while, right now, they might think that would be utopia, I predict they’ll hate it. So, it’s a good idea … The rest of the story…
I don’t believe I have an obsessive personality. And I don’t think I “suffer” from some sort of obsessive compulsive behavior. But I admit I’ve spent a significant amount of time pondering a numerical curiosity. And it appears the number 3 is a charm. Now, I’m not talking about the search for the secret keys to the universe, like Nikola Tesla talked about. He … The rest of the story…
