Mid September 2013

Could you somehow “smoke” mustard seeds and then grind them with other stuff to make smoky mustard? Or would you just take some form of mustard and other stuff and add some liquid smoke?  One day I will find out.  And I will put it on a sandwich.   

And I will eat the sandwich. And it won’t be bologna.

According to my latest Men’s Health issue and my ultra-sensitive olfactory system, I can say that the cologne 1 million passes my sniff test and if I was out there amongst you in the real world, that’s what I would be smelling like.  That stuff smells good.

Early September 2013

Enjoy. Today you should try to do things with your opposite hand.  If you’re right handed, brush your teeth with your left hand.  It’s pretty difficult if you’ve never tried it.  You never know when you might get an injury or ailment that requires you to have to “live” with your opposite hand.  I was in the 6^th grade when I first had to learn to utilize my left hand due to an unfortunate incident involving my right hand and TJ Maybury’s face.  It resulted in my having to wear a cast to receive the yearly Citizenship Award of which I had already been selected to receive prior to the “incident”.  It made me learn to be ambidextrous and that’s always been something fun to try to maintain.  Give it a shot.  Oh, and remember, “We don’t hit our friends.”

Today’s tune is “Guitar Man” by Bread.  I can thank my dad and mom too, I suppose for introducing me to Bread so many years ago.  “Guitar Man” is one of my favorites by then, with its smooth mellowness. 

Late August 2013

So, 50 years ago we were able to put people on the moon.  How is it that we have become so advanced, yet no one has invented a corn flake that isn’t soggy before you finish a bowl?  I feel like that needs some sort of hash tag, but since I’m not 100% sure what that even is (another advancement I’m sure).  I’ll just leave it alone and sit here and eat soggy flakes.

The lull between post-basketball and pre-football, otherwise known as baseball season is not my favorite span.  I can’t get into it.  I know I have several uncles who are die-hard fans, but I just don’t get it.  Games are too long, the season is too long, everybody is using PED’s and it’s surprising & upsetting every time someone gets caught using them.  Come on football season!!

In case you ever need to know, there are 2,016 gills in 1 hog’s head.  And that does not mean hogs can breathe under water.

Mid August 2013

“Scientist” by Coldplay has gotten me through some tough times in my life. It may have gotten a tad overplayed in some people’s opinion, but I still dig it.  It will always be somewhere in my collection.

If you’ve never been able to be the guy that says, “Man, the book is so much better that the movie.” But would like to be that guy with minimal effort, might I suggest Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs?

I would just like to say that I appreciate every single prayer and thought that comes my way.  I never thought I would be in this spot, but it makes it much more bearable knowing that I have the love and support of so many.

Today I hit a volleyball left-handed harder than I ever have.  I’m a beast!!

Early August 2013

If you have some guacamole, and you added some crispy, chopped bacon and some blue cheese crumbles, don’t you think you would have possibly the best dip ever?  I think so.  I think that would be hard to beat.

I’ve played some good golf at Sculley’s.  I’ve had some great rounds, some amazing shots…… many memories.  But I have never birdied #7.  I’m not sure if I’ve ever hit the green in regulation.  I’ve eagled most of the holes out there, but #7 has always been my Achilles.  One of these days I shall get my revenge.

Late July 2013

It’s a well-known fact that there exists no video of the “Blue Man Group” due to them being the same shade of blue used in video back drops.  Okay, it’s probably not well known. And it’s probably not actually factual.   But it does make me wish I had computer access so I could validate this thought.

Today’s song is a classic, “Come Together” by Aerosmith.  Just makes you want to get up and do something.  Anything.  Thank you Rock 103.
