Short, usually silly songs that might make you smile.
Every time you wake up in the morning you never really know what is going to happen that day.
Some days go exactly as planned, and some days you feel like you might be falling over a cliff. I hope that today brings you a jackpot instead of a car careening over a cliff.

I guess this end of the year, beginning of the year time has got me feeling inspired.
With my end of December songs about making decisions, a chance to be a new you, and this January one trying to help you along with that New Year’s Resolution that you already gave up on, I’m kind of feeling like Mr. Inspiration!
If you did quit your resolutions already, don’t fret. Consider it a stumble and get going again because, for example, if you wanted to lose weight, won’t it be nice in a few months when you don’t eat so much lunch? 😊

For your Friday, here are some Kauai sunsets. Just in case you need them.
I know I do. Why?
Well, I have to say that I can’t wait for this November to end. It has been cold and gave us that “Here comes winter!” blast of snow.
It has made me tired, cranky, and dreaming of the sunsets we saw in Kauai last year, where even when they seemed sucky, and we were hanging out with chickens waiting for our rental car, they really didn’t suck.
I also can’t remember words that rhyme with “south.”

We were the hosting family for Thanksgiving this year, and it was discussed early on that I might try to cook a turkey on our Kamado Joe grill.
I didn’t really want to risk figuring out if the cook would go well on Turkey Day, so a few weeks before Thanksgiving I did a “test run” of cooking a turkey on the grill.
I’ve got to say that the turkey grilling came out fantastic, even in the freezing weather. I used a combination of methods to get the bird to come out great.
First off, I probably watched John Setzler’s video about cooking a turkey in the Kamado Joe about a million times, or at least a couple dozen. I loved his “smoking pouch.” Find his video here:
Then I needed a brine, and my wife decided this one, using Old Bay and Chinese Five Spice sounded good. P.S. It was a good choice.
Then I needed to find the recipe that John referenced in his video, from Paul Sidoriak and the book, “Exclusively Kamado.”
Granted I just sing a lot and don’t show all the prep work, but if you have a kamado kind of grill, like the Kamado Joe or Big Green Egg, these are some great recipes for a holiday turkey. The brine was fine, I’ve never had this good of a smoked turkey, and for the love of all things big and small, if you like smokey, make gravy out of the broth and stuff under the turkey.

The weekend is so close we can taste it!
Maybe it tastes like pizza and beer, or soda and candy if you are younger. So, celebrate Thursday, it’s almost the weekend. And fine, this is more of an spoken word kind of thing rather than a song, but…

Following our first Chicago Bears game last week, I’m going into a bit of withdrawal as it a bye week for the Bears. I mean, how do I keep up the excitement of the Bears win from last week?
I suppose for the next week I can just keep reliving my experience and keep watching and singing along to my song.

As I open this song, I sing it best, “I almost forgot that it’s Rocktober!” You know, it’s October, but every rock station, well, in the old days when there were rock stations, dubbed October, “Rocktober.”
Promotions took place, and people rocked. People don’t rock that much anymore, hence the downfall of the rock radio station, but I’m not forgetting.
At least for this song.
I’m sure by the next song, I’ll have forgotten all about RocktoberNo, but for now, I rock!
Now, I know that recently the Colorado Rockies have been trying to steal the magic of the phrase and claim “Rocktober” for their own. Good for them, they made the baseball playoffs, but we all know Rocktober isn’t about baseball, it’s about rocking!

It took a little while, but I figured out why there is this Presidential Alert test. You know, the alert you get on your phone from the President saying “This is a test of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.” It has nothing to do with disaster preparedness, it has nothing to do with President Trump’s desire for world domination, it only has to do with the fact that the aliens are coming.
Yup, FEMA wants the President to be able to, when the aliens arrive, let us all know beings from another planet have arrived, and he is going to build a wall, or something, to keep them out. Okay, I made the “build a wall” thing up, but he is going to need to be able to tell us we are all doomed.
How did I come up with this hypothesis? Well, it was last month when there was a story about a solar observatory being suddenly evacuated. It made sense to no one to close it, and there was some weird “security threat” story. The FBI came in, there were supposedly helicopters, but no, real answer. Sure, after a week or so there was some crazy “child porn” excuse and denials of aliens, but in all honesty, for me, aliens seemed like a more likely reason.
Combine the story of the solar observatory closing with the NASA Rover, Curiosity, having problems, and weird lights around the International Space Station, and I’ve got the only plausible explanation for the timing of this FEMA/FCC test, allowing the presidential alert, and that is aliens.
So, enjoy the scary alert from President Trump, start building your bunker, and get ready because they are coming.

Save this song for future days when you just need to enjoy the sun rise up!
Yup, the weekend is here, and maybe you are frantically trying to wrap things up, worried about getting to work, or just need a break. Do yourself a favor and stop and watch the sun rise up over the horizon, or, if it’s cloudy, or dark, or already up, go ahead and just watch my song.

Part of me is like, “Crap, summer’s over,” but the other part of me, looking back, realizes it’s been a pretty damn, great summer.
I hope your summer was memorable, but here comes the fall!
