WHY DO I BLOG?
I decided to grab another cup of coffee and sit down and write my blog on a rainy Saturday afternoon. As I sat down in my comfortable recliner and contemplated on what to blog about, I asked myself “Why do I write a blog each week?” Before I began writing this week’s blog I looked back over the 300 blogs that I have written and … Continue reading WHY DO I BLOG?
Halloween Nightmare
Saturday night we had 53 trick-or-treaters at our house! It was the most we’ve ever had. I answered the door far more than my wife did and truly enjoyed seeing all the different costumes—some of the kids were so creative! Everyone was polite and thankful. However…….. I’ve never liked Halloween. Even as a child, I couldn’t get excited about dressing up in a costume and … Continue reading Halloween Nightmare
Missing the Games, Cherishing the Blessings
Well, as I continue my recovery at home after heart surgery, I’ve found myself blessed with extra time to reflect. I wanted to take a moment to share a few thoughts from the heart with all of you this week. I’ve been attending Cardiac Rehab at Madison Healthcare three days a week.

That’s pretty much my whole life right now. So, this past Saturday, I did my early morning walk, came inside, sat in my … Continue reading AM I NORMAL?

I’m certainly glad that chapter is behind me, and I’m really looking forward to getting back to work by the end of the month. I’ll spare you the gritty details of the surgery and hospital stay. What I truly want to share … Continue reading LESSONS FROM THE ICU
Pet Peeves
While working at the county fair this weekend. I observed someone doing something that really annoys me and I thought of a blog I had written a while back and so here is my pet peeve blog. Pet peeves—I have a number of them that I would like to share. I guess I have more than just a few; I might have hundreds of them! … Continue reading Pet Peeves
A Fan, a Football Game, and a White Lie
Last Thursday was a rollercoaster of extreme heat, missing brain cells, and a very public lesson in modern teen humor. It all started at the high school football season opener, with LQPV hosting Gibbon-Fairfax-Winthrop. My broadcasting partner, Dick Newman, and I were setting up the radio equipment in what can only be described as a portable sauna in the press box with a view. Earlier … Continue reading A Fan, a Football Game, and a White Lie
