No one: why do you get so hype for Book Bingo?

Me: Because those teachers gave up a night to serve their community. Because life is too short to not be hyped for the intense drama of Book Bingo. Because I want my kinds to love all the adventures in life, even when they take place in a school gym. Because celebrating is fun, especially when people are involved. Because Iā€™m the grandson of an English professor. Because celebrating the little things reminds me of oh so many good things. And, because itā€™s fun.

Hereā€™s to friends who keep inviting.

Hereā€™s to pub-subs and spicy pad thai and not having allergic reactions.

Hereā€™s to conferences that give a reason go.

Hereā€™s to new friends, to high-fives and gracious hospitality.

Hereā€™s to remembering and rejoicing. To desperate and expectant voices raised together. To welcoming and loving and belonging.

Hereā€™s to hope.

Hereā€™s to the One who was, who is, who is coming again.

I was talking with a buddy recently who is ahead of me in years. We were talking about all the things that weā€™ve started and then stopped for one reason or another. By the end of the conversation, I felt pretty motivated to keep going on a lot of things, especially working on this new song (šŸ˜³šŸ˜šŸ˜).

So today, Iā€™m going to not quit.

Nine days left!!! If you havenā€™t backed Sully Brightā€™s project yet, there is still time. Heā€™s halfway to making it happen and you can be a part of the other half that makes it happen! Every little bit helps!

Friends! If you havenā€™t heard Sully Bright yet, let me introduce him to you. I have known him for several years now and have loved being his friend and watch him grow. He is such a talented songwriter and musician. His lyrics and melodies are tender and earnest and every time he has a new song I get giddy when I get to listen to it.

He has a project on Kickstarter and needs our help. Please back his project. You wonā€™t be disappointed.

Sully Bright, you make me want to be a better songwriter. Keep up the amazing work!

Each Christmas Eve, everyone in my family gets a new book or two and we tell our kids they can stay up as late as they want. I know, I know; we are some crazy party people what with our books and reading and all. We all have come to love it and look forward to it each year. This is my book for this year and I canā€™t wait to get under the covers and start into it.

Whatever traditions you do or do not have, whether you are spending this Christmas alone or with friends or with family or both, may this time bring you greater joy and rest. Peace and goodwill to all and to all a goodnight.

Are you looking for something to do tonight? Iā€™ll be at Banfield Gallery from 5:30 to 6:30 singing some songs and enjoying the beautiful art and lights. Why not come down and check it all out!

If you havenā€™t tried Firebeard Coffee Roasters yet, you are missing out. Point blank: some of the best coffee Iā€™ve had in a long time. On par or better than the stuff I got at Disney World. Full of flavor and nuance. Try them. You wonā€™t regret it!

Thanks Florida. There is nothing quite like your sunrises or sunsets. I enjoyed the time I had with you and glad for the memories new and old.

Hello North Carolina. There is nothing like the golden sun setting on the Blue Ridge Mountains and burning sunrise shining on the flowers in the backyard. Itā€™s good to be home.

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!

If you haven't listened yet, go to wherever you get your music and have a listen!

Also, what's the best way to celebrate? Asking for a friend šŸ˜…

I have no idea what inspired my daughter to write this or give it to me or what inspired my wife to make sure I could see it at my desk. But I sure am glad they did.

Two weeks away!

If you could tell your whole story to any two people - living or dead, real or fictional - who would you pick?

That moment when youā€™re trying to take some pictures and some old friends show up and everyone starts hugging.

27/08/2022

Three weeks!!!

If you go any where in the world, what are the top three places you would go?

20/08/2022

Four (my favorite number!) weeks away!

If you could pick any four people - living or dead - to eat dinner with, who would you pick?

5 Weeks away!

One thing I've loved about this song is all the stories people share with me after hearing it. Which makes me wonder: what are the top five songs that make you want to share your story?

Friends, I am super excited.

TLDR: Brothers (Radio Version) will be out on September 17th!

It was would be easy for me to wax philosophical about this song or what it's been like to go through the whole process. And probably I will at some point. But for now, I just can't wait to share this with you. 44 days and counting!

Ted Skolits thanks for all the help. Canā€™t wait to do it again!

Hey friends! There is still time to support my Kickstarter. If youā€™ve been waiting or are like me and keep thinking ā€œI should do thatā€, now is the time!

11/05/2022

Hey friends! Thank you so much for supporting my Kickstarter. It means so much to me. I canā€™t wait to move forward with this project and make something awesome!

And if you havenā€™t had a chance to check the Kickstarter out, good news: there is still time!! Check it out and consider supporting it!

25/04/2022

If you were wondering what it is that I want to re-record, you can find the acoustic-at-home versions any where you listen to music! There will be some changes in the process, but the bones and spirit of the song will remain.

Only 26 days left to help it happen!
