This And That * I always write about the music I love but haven’t said much about Country singers. Well, I have quite a few favorites in that genre as well, starting with who I can think of off the top of my head: Toby Keith, George Strait, Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, Charley Pride, Marty Robbins, Travis Tritt, Montgomery Gentry, Alabama, and The Judds.

This and That * Alligators can live up to 70 years, which is why there is a good chance that they will see you later. * Instead of watching the Academy Awards this year— okay—I haven’t watched them in like forever—I watched the 2024 MovieGuide Awards on the Great American Family Channel.

Happy Easter Easter is the only time of year it is safe to put all of your eggs in one basket. I am the Resurrection and the Life.

This And That * I read this about the Kansas City mayor suggesting racism after the Missouri governor called the Chiefs Parade shooters “thugs.” All I can say is know your history and get educated people! The definition of a thug is “a violent, aggressive person, especially one who is a criminal.” Historically, a thug means “a member of a group or organization of robbers and assassins in India who waylaid and strangled their victims, usually travelers, and stole their belongings. They were suppressed by the British in the 1830s.” The slang for thug is “a bad guy or bully, especially a violent one.” I agree with the governor, those shooters were thugs.

Happy 11th Birthday! The years are going by too fast since next Wednesday, March 20th, my sweet Tessa Rose is turning 11! To celebrate Tessa on her special day, I found a few quotes and poems for her…. * I know a girl; she puts the color inside my world.

One Of These Has To Go! *Have you seen pictures of food and the captions read, “One Of These Things Has To Go!” I thought it would be fun to play the game. So, here we go! * One has to go… mac and cheese, spaghetti, lasagna, or Fettuccini Alfredo.

Leap Year! * To my great-nephew, Noah, born on February 29th, 2012, with a birthday so awesome the world can only handle it once every four years! * People born on February 29th are called “Leapers or “Leaplings.” * Let this year leap in your heart and give you one more day to live and enjoy life with your loved ones. * There is a one in 1,461 chance of being born on a Leap Day.

This and That * Big Dog Daddy, Toby Keith, you will live on in my radio because we all should have been a cowboy sometime in our lives! God Bless the Red, White and Blue! * Carl Weathers, the one, the only, Apollo Creed. Your intro to “Living in America,” was the best! * The Little House on the Prairie TV series is hosting its 50th Anniversary Cast Reunion and Festival on Big Sky Ranch in Simi Valley, California on March 22nd, 23rd, and 24th.
