It’s been a month since I last wrote, but I’ve been thinking a lot. Quite a lot. And I realize that this blogger has been doing a lot of complaining and ranting lately. I don’t know why. I suppose it’s political season and I’m seeing and hearing a lot that I don’t like. But tonight, [...]

There are a number of comedians who I consider quite funny. These are the ones who are worthy of my time to set the recorder, and more importantly, worthy of space on my DVR. That list hasn’t changed much in recent years. But I just caught John Caparulo on Blue Collar Comedy: The Next Generation [...]

I’m listening to the Eagles new CD Long Road Out Of Eden, again. In the several years that I’ve been blogging, I’ve never felt so compelled to write about a CD like I do now. You must add this to your collection.
Their first studio album in 28 years, it was released 11 days ago and [...]

Today is Priesthood Sunday in the United States. Catholics around the country are offering thanks and recognition to those men who have answered God’s call to serve. I had never heard of Priesthood Sunday until this year (it was only started a few years ago). But I’ll tell you, it’s opened my eyes, and made [...]

My daughter, Casey, and I went to the Packer game together tonight. The Packers played the Jacksonville Jaguars in their 3rd pre-season game. I’ve got to show you this cool photo. No, not the one over there on the right…the thumbnail below.
Early in the 2nd quarter, Packers rookie Desmond Bishop made a nasty hit on [...]

I stepped on the scale back on May 3, as I do on ocassion, and the needle moved around to an all-time high of “255″. And I figured, that’s about enough. So I decided to get healthy.
I used to be in pretty good shape, 25 years ago. Tennis was my game. I played in high [...]

Last year, I wrote in this blog about CNN Pipeline, an online news service supported by paid subscriptions. It’s been a godsend! Well, the folks at CNN have determined that their subscriber base is not large enough to continue the service. So, it’s gone.
However, in its place is CNN Video. This is even better. Like [...]

So, American Idol season 6 is over. And my pick didn’t make it. But it sure looks like this guy’s got a great head on his shoulders, he’s got a great family, a deep faith in God and he indeed has a bright future.
U.S. Navy Petty Officer Phil Stacey was voted off American Idol [...]

Have you heard them? If not, you haven’t heard angels.
Celtic Woman is a group of five women with the most angelic voices you’ve ever heard. Traditionally, I’m not much of a fan of women’s voices like this. But these ladies are different. There’s something about the music they create that just hooked me.
They got famous [...]

If you haven’t seen it yet, you’ve got to check out WFRV.com. This is our local CBS affilliate (owned by CBS) in northeast Wisconsin, and their web site was recently rebuilt. They’ve done a fantastic job of making a site that is lean and loads fast. Their inclusion of video clips from their news casts [...]

We were just sitting around the family room today talking about movies, and my daughters were asking about my favorite movies. I’ve got several favorites, so I figured I’d write them out and rank them.
Apollo 13 (1995) Ron Howard — Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, Gary Senise, Ed Harris. I’ve always been fascinated by [...]

If you haven’t heard, Central Florida (in the southeast corner of the United States) was hit by massive tornadoes on Friday. Reports say that winds were up to 200 MPH and that 20 people were killed.
What if this happened to you? Would you still have faith in God? The folks at Lady Lake Church of [...]
