Do You Remember?
February 10th, 2016 at 11:17 am EDTHey Friend, My sister whacked me "upside the head" with a wave of nostalgia... She texted me with a little picture of a wooden spoon and the following caption... "Weapon of A$$ Destruction" I rolled out on that! How many of you had a mom or grandmot ...
The Beautiful Letdown
February 9th, 2016 at 11:16 am EDTHey Friend, So jury duty ended up being a non-event. After sitting there the entire morning and being sent out to lunch, I came back and sat for another hour, after which the court released me to go home - my obligation fulfilled for at least a year. ...

February 8th, 2016 at 11:10 am EDTHey Friend, Since I am doing my duty as a United States citizen today and showing up for jury selection, I decided yesterday to reflect a little on the rights we have as free people. Generally speaking, there's no one telling us we can't listen to th ...

One of The Gibson Oddities
February 4th, 2016 at 11:06 am EDTHey Friend, I recently got an email that pointed me to an article about some of the more oddly-shaped Gibson guitars. Unlike the Flying V and Explorer, these guitar models didn't really catch on with the guitar-playing public. There was the Gibson Mo ...
Get Down and Beat Your Face
February 3rd, 2016 at 11:08 am EDTHey Friend, Ahhh, memories... My Army drill sergeants used to tell us that every day in Basic Training. For the un-indoctrinated, they were telling us to get down and do push ups. We'd all get down and start doing the exercise, usually until the serg ...
Human Multitasking... It's a Myth
February 2nd, 2016 at 11:15 am EDTHey Friend, It's all wrong! Whoever thought multitasking for humans was a good idea needs to brought up on criminal charges! Okay, maybe a little harsh, but seriously, regardless of what you might think, multitasking is not a smart idea if you want t ...
