Autumn is one of my absolute favorite times of the year. My all-time favorite time is Christmas. When I feel that first chill in the air, I know the next couple of months are going to bring us some of the best gifts nature can provide. We’ll get a beautiful backdrop of leaves of reds, [...]

I swear I’m trying to post more on the blog. I actually was going to post something…pretty much the last couple of nights, but I get so tired, and I just want to relax. I tell myself that I’ll post tomorrow, and that gets put off until tomorrow, and so on and so on.
I told [...]

Happy New Year’s, everyone! I hope you had a fun night partying in what was left of 2008. My family all gathered in our living room and watched the crystal ball drop over Times Square. It’s something we’ve done since I was a kid. Every year it’s always the same, but it’s always special. This [...]

This is a big jump emotionally from my recent post “Tonight I Wanna Cry,” but I was excited about it. With the reload of windows, my Windows Movie Maker is working. Since it’s working, I was able to edit and finish my “With Bells On” holiday message. It’s not exactly the same as it would’ve [...]

Now, I’ll apologize to the first person that gets offended by my use of Christmas Day in the title. I mean no offense to my Jewish, Muslim, Agnostic, Atheist, or any other friends. It’s just for me and my family, we celebrate the traditions of Christmas.
Now, having said that, I hope everyone is enjoying this [...]

Tonight, I worked on a video where I was lip-synching to Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers’ song “With Bells On.” I tried to make it a nice holiday laugh for you, but alas…Windows Movie Maker doesn’t appreciate me and shuts itself down when I try to publish it for YouTube.
Well, I’m so sorry, [...]
