It’s been a while since I posted a health update. And this is not much as updates go. But on January 13th I headed to UC Denver Health, where the neuro-team said my Chiari malformation was not doing anything. Good night everybody! If you read a little irritation into this, I’m writing irritation into it. … Continue reading Health Update(ish) And More
Mike Garwood passed away December 16, 2007. We’ll start with what I wrote on my MySpace blog the very day I heard the news that Mike had died. (Photos added and captioned in 2019.) I’ll see you at the end. I received the call today, this morning, that Mike Garwood had passed away. This was not a … Continue reading Remembering Mike Garwood
This little tradition started on MySpace, was transitioned to Facebook, and from here on will find a home on the ol’ blog. The first year I did this I was 33 years old, so I wrote 33 things for which I was thankful. Since I wrote the original list of 33 I have lost a … Continue reading The Thanks-Giving: 2019
Disney Plus! A streaming service which has scores of animated classics, every episode of the Simpsons, most Muppet movies and a bunch of other stuff. I signed up for this weeks ago, knowing it would be appealing. My greatest hopes for Disney+ were that they would throw a bone to old-school fans like me, and … Continue reading (Walt) Disney+: First Day Thoughts

It’s that whole thing of people being really brave when they don’t have to look a person in the eye. Well, today I got into a little bit of a brou-ha-ha … Continue reading Those Good Old Days
Kalin Krohe is one of my best friends. He makes every creative endeavor I attempt better; he is my lunch buddy; he has helped me through some of the hardest times of my life and shared in my greatest achievements. But sometimes, as friends do, we get into a good old fashioned donnybrook. Yesterday at … Continue reading “Handle With Care!” (Or, “Pay The Damn 18 Dollars”)
Each morning as I make my way to Radio City for another morning broadcast, I am accompanied by passing vehicles, the occasional dog bark, and…that’s about it. Sometimes a jogger or dog-walker will greet me and I will croak out a “Good morning.” But mostly it’s just me and what Paul Harvey referred to as … Continue reading The Kindness Of Strangers
I have been enjoying Ken Burns’ “Country Music” series on PBS quite a bit this week. It’s a tremendous deep dive into every era of country music…the chapter I watched last night included sections on Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis as “rockabilly” challenged traditional country music in the 1950s. As I’m sure you can … Continue reading Music Cities USA!
TPIR stands for “The Price is Right.” (In case that isn’t clear.) I think Drew Carey is a fine host. He’s certainly better today than he was his first couple of years. I’d have chosen Marc Summers for the job-he was a great host on “Double Dare” and actually interned with Barker on “Truth Or … Continue reading 10 Things I Miss About The Bob Barker Era of “TPIR”
