Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
Today is a day worth remembering.Today is the day my family began.Not in the larger sense. There have been folks with my name or some variant of it around for centuries. No, I'm talking about my specific family. It began today, 58 years ago. When two young people got dressed up and took their vows... Continue Reading →

I don't believe omens. Not really. But this trip might just make me change my mind. We set out on Wednesday and things were off to a bad start right away. Less than an hour down the road and one of the various computer alerts on the car went off. "SVC Tire Monitor". My car... Continue Reading →
Growing up vacation was the big adventure. It began in the darkness before the dawn. Bags packed the night before so that we could be "wheels up" bright and early before the bright had even arrived. Three boys in back grabbing some quick sleep at first then swapping comics or whatever to keep us quiet.... Continue Reading →
31 years ago today I woke up as a single man for the last time. I woke up on my own without a partner for the very last time. 31 years ago today I got married. I barely remember the beginning of that day. The previous day had begun with me on the air as... Continue Reading →
