Even Linda Ronstadt knew that you are no good. She’s saying it about you years and years ago. So, I know it. And Linda knows it. But do you? Oh wait. Ms. Ronstadt actually sang “You’re No Good.” And I just did a quick online check, and apparently she didn’t sing that song to let you know you are no good. I guess it … The rest of the story…

The only reason I’m writing about the color of music notes, today, is because I feel like it. There’s no hidden message. Well, except for the one hidden in plain sight. And I’m not trying to get you to do, say, or be anything special. Nope. It’s just because. Because I know you enjoy things hidden in plain sight. So, there’s no agenda going … The rest of the story…
A few years ago, Denzel Washington made a movie called The Equalizer. And then he made two more for the typical Hollywood trilogy. And apparently that was supposed to be it. But when movies make money, and the last installment in the series apparently made very good money, trilogy schmilogy. Number three won’t be the final equalizer. And according to an article, I just … The rest of the story…
It’s been a while since I did this. But about half an hour ago, I challenged myself to make up a rhyme out of thin air. No muse or other silly little inspirational fairy dropped by. I just make a decision, every once in a while, to fire up a skill I’ve worked most of my life to get good at. Lately I have … The rest of the story…
Of course, stringed instruments can’t make sounds on their own. Every instrument needs a player. A musician. Someone who knows music and how to transmit it from the instrument into the air. A violin can be one of the most beautiful stringed instruments. Physically. And musically. Someone shared a picture of the inside of a violin a few years ago. And they added a … The rest of the story…
“I don’t know which is more beautiful, the picture or the poetry. Together, they’re fireworks. The ability of artfully putting feelings into words is a rare, God-given gift. Kudos!” That’s what someone told me, a couple of days ago, on a social media platform. I’ve been putting feelings into words for most of my life. And I still enjoy every time someone mentions how … The rest of the story…
I bet you’ve seen ’em too. Videos of kids and puppies playing are all over YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and probably every other social media platform. But why? It certainly can’t be the cuteness factor. Because, really, kids and puppies playing is just plain boring. Right? I mean, if you’ve seen one kids and puppies video, you’ve seen them all. And it’s not like they’re … The rest of the story…
About a dozen years ago, as I went through a streak of over 100 days of writing rhymes for kids, I had some Tuesday thoughts I figured they would enjoy. And, coincidentally, Tuesday thoughts, sort of trended on social media today. OK, the hashtag was actually #TuesdayVibe. But that’s just a minor detail. It’s all the same thing right? Tuesday thoughts. #TuesdayVibe. The point … The rest of the story…
“To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.” Paul wrote those words to Titus. And I get what he meant/means by that. Especially when I remember my young, naïve self. Yeah, I remember a time when I thought all things are pure. And that’s despite the … The rest of the story…
30 thousand miles, added to the odometer of my new ‘73 Ford Maverick, in one year. And that’s a lot of miles for a guy whose drive to work was only about a mile and a half. But it’s also a lot of other stuff. A lot of miles, memories, and consonants and vowels I racked up so much more than just a bigger-than-normal … The rest of the story…
