I’ll take a page from my boys and put up a pic with my Dad. I got to talk to him one last time a week after Father’s Day eight years ago. I am a coal miner’s son. Dad’s dad died young and for a while Dad worked in the mines to support his Mom […]
WATCH: Madison County FUNcast
I can finally add some sun to the FUN this weekend. May means more “Little 500” Festival activity at Applewood Center, as we get set for the Pay Less Little 500 Presented By UAW GM at Anderson Speedway. There is racing at Hoosier Park Racing and Casino, along with a free concert. Want to race […]
Mr. & Mrs. Back In The Day
My First Time On TV
Thanks to my Mom, I know the first time I was on TV. She sent this picture of me and my little brother Eric into Ft. Wayne’s “Ann Cologne Show” in early 1966, and apparently Ms. Ann Cologne showed it as part of some regular feature. (Local TV and radio used to do a lot […]
When You're Number Two You Try Harder
Happy Birthday Graham Poteet
Al Gore’s Dirty Weather Report
“Still to come: Al opens up the Long Range Lock Box, and it’s dirty, so Tipper puts a warning label on it.” BTW: If you like the odd photos/captions I sometimes post, I’ve *started* (who knows if I will finish?) storing them on a Pinterest Page. If I may quote Johnny Cougar, I don’t even […]
Happy Birthday To Me
One of the smartest things Facebook ever did was ask people their birthdays. I remember when I first went on the FB and people found me…I would pay attention and leave a Wall Post when “the ‘Book” said someone was celebrating a birthday. That had to stop after about the first 1,000 friends. Sorry if […]
Happy Post-Mother’s Day
I’m late to the post-a-pic-of-your-Mom party on Facebook. I don’t have any digitized shots of me and Mom handy. (Guess I should attack those old photo albums someday.) I did find this one of my parents. For the vast majority of my followers I should explain that the thing on the left is a “hi-fi” […]
THE PAUL & TOM SHOW #39
Hey! Paul’s sittin’ pretty on the Peacock! Tom admires the way WTHR Channel 13 is colorizing the old man. More media exposure: a recent item in a site called “Moms Like Me” is devoted to Paul & Tom. That will always get you a shout out. Mom talk leads to wife talk and the story […]
THE PAUL & TOM SHOW: Friday Oct 22, 2010
Mrs. P. drops by at the start of the show to defend football fans in the wake of Tom’s recent Offensive Line. Tom isn’t convinced, and is mainly interested in what in the world attracted such a cool woman to Paul. A story about a woman driving around with a corpse turns the topic to […]
PoTweekend Update
It was just as cold and windy as it was supposed to be Saturday. The Kenyans asked me to stay out of the Mini Marathon this year so they’d have a better shot, and their plan seems to have paid off. Hope you had a good walk/run if you participated. My running partner (aka my […]
