Song For Janette

I thought it was high time I played a song for you that shows off my thinning hair as I stare down at my fingers. This is a song I wrote for Janette to play for her at our wedding reception. My performance was a bit better then, but this is still a nice little [...]

The Greatest Book Of All Time?

One of the unexpected, but very fun things about having a popular blog is that people send you things sometimes.  Weightlifting people send me equipment to try out once in a while, and authors and other book lovers send me books to read and review.
