Monday, August 18, 2014

Friday, July 4, 2014

Here goes some “explication” about the two newest recordings I’ve mastered and edited up. Enjoy. Recorded live from the soundboard at a Bonfire in Groton, CT.

Living Simply So Others May Simply Live

Tuesday, January 21, 2014

I saw two minutes of an infomercial back in the day about installing copper tubing or plastic tubing for your automatic ice maker.   “If you don’t like that skunky taste your ice cubes might give off you can buy one of our in-line filters…”   My response is if you really don’t like the […]

Blogging My Method For Daily Teeth Whitening

Thursday, December 5, 2013

What I do is get the brush wet, pour a tiny bit of toothpaste on, flatten that with another splash of water then pour the tiniest bit of turmeric on the toothpaste itself. I start scrubbing the front of the teeth and by the time I move around my whole mouth is naturally salivated just […]
