Music Monday: Naked Eyes – “Always Something There To Remind Me”

| March 17, 2025

While listening to Pandora’s version of 1970’s music last week, I picked up a song that “reminded” me of 1982, the year Brenda and I were married. The song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David’s and originally recorded as a demo by Dionne Warwick in 1963; it was “Always Something There To Remind Me.” […]

Music Monday: John Mellencamp and “Cherry Bomb” (1987)

| March 3, 2025

For the fun of it, I veered from using SiriusXM and went with an old favorite streaming service, Pandora, for a couple days … because it streams on my Apple Watch to my AfterShokz headset. One of the songs being streamed was the 1987 hit by John Cougar Mellencamp (mentioned before) called “Cherry Bomb.”  Likely […]

Although I only have one address accessible IP at the house, I can split it up via “Port Forwarding” on the cheap Cincinnati Bell router, rather than the home “mesh” network. After a little tweaking (ok, A LOT), I do have a work-around solution using a variety of ports to access different devices. For the […]

Music: Put a little sugar on it honey, put a little sugar on it baby

| September 27, 2015

My brother-in-law Gary is in the hospital in Atlanta recovering from surgery this past Friday … and while we were thinking about him, Brenda and I laughed at the few odd things that Gary says and does (some funny and some just odd … I smile just thinking about it!) At one of our family […]

I’m now addicted to Pandora

| January 10, 2006

Every once in a while there is something really great on world wide web that makes me wonder why I haven’t found it before. Have I been living in a cave?
