Listening to this album is like sinking your soul into a thick, rich and moist slice of triple layered German chocolate cake.  It’s that good.  This was my first taste of Jason Gray’s music.  I would go back for more, but I’m still trying to finish the piece that is […]

A friend of mine recently posted an old video on his Facebook page. It got me thinking more about commercials/intros that I have never forgotten. These are the ones that have stuck with me the most over the years. They did so many things to try to trick us children […]

On select Mondays, I’ll link to a post that I consider powerful. These will be a roundup of stories from around the web. There is an old hymn that had some lyrics changed.  The words went from “I climb the rainbow in the rain” to “I trace the rainbow through […]

She was a girl going on thirteen as I was, with a mouth that turned up at the corners. If we ever spoke to each other about anything of consequence, I have long since forgotten it. I have forgotten the color of her eyes. I have forgotten the sound of […]

How the Hundreds in the Corners Forever Altered the Game of Skeeball
