Easier Ride is a Marital Compromise
I can look back with fondness at the cars of my past but I don’t feel particularly attached to them. My first car was a 1980 Chev Monza. I’ve had Jeeps, a VW Golf, a VW diesel Rabbit, a 1987 Camaro, various SUVs and a van. The only vehicles I remember with any emotion are my motorcycles.

Father’s Day Repost: Throwback Thursday – Dad ‘n Play
This is a blog post that I originally published in March 2019, nearly two years after the death of my Dad. Even if your parents have passed on, they are still with you. The memories, the feelings, the love never really fade. And if you’re like me, you think of them every day.
I hope you’ll be celebrating the wonderful Dads in your life on Sunday. I’ll be remembering mine.

Guest Post: Dick Joseph – My First Adventure in the World of Radio
Anyone who listened to London radio in the 80s knew Dick Joseph. Dicker Q and the Afternoon Zoo was a hugely popular show on CKSL 1410 from ’82-’87. Dick hosted the on air and live versions of Desperate and Dateless. To me, the overnight host, he was a mentor and colleague. Recently, I wrote about some radio memories that prompted Dick to send me the story of his first job in radio. Without further ado, I give you his story in his words.

We Plan, Airlines Say “Ha!”
It’s tempting to just let go of my recent travel blips. They’re long over and I had a wonderful time with Erin Davis in Palm Springs & Palm Desert. Plenty of people have all sorts of frustrations with air travel that are much worse. But I will pursue refunds and there are a couple of parts of the adventure that still puzzle me.

New Year = New (Travel?) Goals
I’ve always been a goal-setter. Didn’t always attain them, but that wasn’t the point. Striving for something better, something more, propelled me to make goals. Even if the goal was just surviving. Getting old is the ultimate goal.
