Why My Diet is Ruined

It wasn’t supposed to come back. No one in the store thought it would come back. But it’s back.

Yes, yesterday, while ordering my iced tea, I saw it, out of the corner of my eye, the Cookie Butter Bar in the case at Starbucks. You may remember my saga of the tasty treat being missing, and I even sang about it with the masterpiece Cookie Butter Bar Blues, but The I'm Weak emoji to signify your diet is ruined.now that I’m trying to be committed to losing weight before the summer, the last thing I needed to see was the most fabulous “Spring Seasonal Favorite” back for the end of spring. Luckily I’ve been strong, but eventually I know I’m going to be weak again.

Easter Eating

Share what you ate for Easter Dinner, or at least yesterday.

Me, I ate too much, of everything, and the song doesn’t even have time for the wonderful, bite-size brownie, banana-split sundae with Dorda chocolate liqueur drizzled on top sundae made by my sister-in-law, or the actual meal that included lamb, ham, macaroni and cheese, and rolls.

I Gave Up My Donut for God

Did you give anything up for Good Friday? I gave up my donut for God.

Okay, it was really donuts, and I kind of gave up my donuts for God, but I also gave them up because my waistline told me to. I’ve been eating a few too many donuts lately, along with a few too much of just food in general, so it’s time to get fit for summer. Maybe it’s time for some extra exercise to compensate for the donuts?

I already miss my Friday donuts.

Taking Out the Garbage in the Rain

I learned today that it isn’t the easiest thing to do to roll out my garbage can, record me rolling out my garbage can, and sing while I’m rolling out my garbage can while recording me rolling out my garbage can all at the same time. There was almost a garbage failure, but thankfully, with my shear strength and will, the garbage stayed in its place, safe and secure in its big, blue, plastic container, sheltered from the rain, unlike me.

They’d Be In Love Soon


My iPhone has been acting funky lately. What does that have to do with this song? Well, the first version started out as a nice, country song, about a dude in a bar finding a dudette. Then my phone stopped recording, and I had to try to remember the song.

I ended up with this. My wife wonders what is going on in my head, and this song is kind of it.

Just One Puffy Cloud


I looked up at the sky today and there was one, giant cloud, just kind of hovering over me. I changed the dreariness of the dark, giant cloud into a nicer thing, a puffy cloud, that might look like a chicken or a dinosaur.

Look at the sky and let me know what the clouds by you look like.

A Glorious Start to the Week


I felt pretty good about it being a Monday when I sang this earlier today. Sure, the day had some challenges, and some people bothered me, but I got through it. I’m finally posting my “Happy Monday” song. Maybe, for some of you, it’s better I’m posting this closer to Tuesday, but here’s to a good week to you no matter what!

The First Lawn Mowing of the Season

It’s National Beer Day!


Today is the most glorious day in the world. Sure, there is my Anniversary, my birthday, and National Donut Day, but today is National Beer Day!

On a Windy Day


Strong winds abound today in the Windy City of Chicago, and I couldn’t help but think about everything that was getting blown around. Happily my helmet head of hair was unfazed, so far.
