I got this from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Before I begin, I will tell you that when I was 13 years old in 1990, Larry Bird was my favorite player in the NBA. Don’t know why, when I had my hometown San Antonio Spurs to cheer for. A…
Up until about a month ago, Niko wasn’t even thinking about what to be for Halloween. But, then, he watched KPop Demon Hunters, and he wanted to be Jinu as a Demon! Fine with us. Nina found his hat online and made the robe herself. She used makeup on Niko and drew the demon markers…
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Now, before I begin, I do need to inform you that although I knew who she was when I was younger, I don’t remember reading any of her books. I did read part of one of the Fudge books…
I read Searching for Candy by Tracey J. Morgan in 2022, so I was already familiar with Candy’s life, Reading another book about his life wouldn’t hurt me, so I was on-board and eager. And, I even took some notes while I read it for this review, unlike in 2022 when I just read it….
In June, we moved from one of the hottest places in the USA to one of the coldest places in the USA! We are ready for snow, as we have lots of warm clothes and continue to buy more. We got a TORO snow blower delivered last Wednesday and I turned it on yesterday, and…
I never would’ve known about this book had it not been for a friend of mine, Richard Oliver, on Facebook, who shared an update status where he interviewed Robert Steinfeld (Bob) at the JCC in San Antonio. Now, let me tell you that when I worked for the San Antonio Spurs from 1999 to 2002,…
Niko was off from school Wednesday through Friday, for no particular reason. I guess that is how the schools in Minnesota function. He does get time off like this throughout the year, in addition to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. But no Spring Break like in Texas. Nina worked most of her hours on Monday…
I knew of Allen Iverson from his college and professional playing days. I also knew of what happened at the bowling alley that landed him in jail when he was in high school. Being a fan of the NBA, I enjoyed watching him play ball. So, when I saw this memoir of his life, I…
I have already read Elvis and Me: The True Story of the Love Between Priscilla Presley and the King of Rock N’ Roll – by Priscilla Beaulieu Presley and From Here to the Great Unknown: A Memoir – by Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough, so I was definitely interested in reading Priscilla’s new memoir…
I got three random things I wanted to share and didn’t feel like separating them out over the next three weeks. So, you get them all today. 10/10/2025 On Friday, Nina and I celebrated 15th wedding anniversary. I took Nina to lunch at a “nice restaurant” on the lake near our house. Not the one…
I knew a little bit about Babe and read a little bit about her in a book called Shattering the Glass: The Remarkable History of Women’s Basketball by Susan Shackleford and Pamela Grundy, but I wanted to know more, and this book didn’t disappoint me at all. From her high school basketball team as a…
Last Saturday and Sunday, Niko and I went to the community center where they have an indoor pool. He took swim lessons over the summer at the local high school, and now, he is a professional swimmer who loves showing off his skills. When we do pool, I strive to be there right when they…
I got this from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Having just read a biography on Moses Malone and read Julius Erving’s memoir a few years ago, and also reading a memoir about Eddie Gottlieb, the man responsible for professional basketball in Philadelphia, I was intrigued. This book is pretty…
I was aware of who Madden and Summerall were and was eager to read this book. I am glad this book didn’t go into extreme details for every NFL game John Madden and Pat Summerall worked together as broadcast partners. This book highlighted how they got started as broadcasters and how they got together as…
Since we moved to our new house in June, I have done a lot of “DAD HANDYMAN” things. It’s not like the house we purchased was in shambles and needed a ton of work. Just normal things that needs to be fixed or replaced. I think we have something like 25 doors in our house…
My dad has been thinking about deleting his website. Because of the price and no-one visits. I have been telling him to keep his website because the other hosting website is garbage and he is just following his path. (I am sorry that this is shorter than normal I don’t really have anything to write…

I have recently finished reading all of the Lucas Davenport Prey books, so I was familiar with Virgil Flowers. It was nice, though, in this book, that I got a lot more insight into Virgil’s parents, his marriages and divorces, his fashion (rock and roll t-shirts), and his curb appeal to the ladies. There is…
Ever since we moved into the new house, the cat has acted like an explorer in a kingdom full of locked doors. Every forbidden room is a treasure cave to him, every closet a secret passage. He prowls the halls like a furry outlaw, crying at doors as though they’re keeping him from his destiny….
This Blog is edited by ChatGPT here is it’s version: On the Friday of the second week of school, I woke up with a cold that clung to me like a fog. Dad understood and let me stay home, which felt like a small mercy. The weekend came and went, but the sickness refused to…
