Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Time for another Useless Things Podcast. I talk about the dreaded Snowmaggedon and the Steelers fun but heartstopping weekend. Superfan Damien comments on a discussion starter. You can hear my accounts of those subjects here. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Come on Yinz!” – Just about every Steelers fan.
Salutations™!! It’s time to talk about that trip we just took around the sun. It’s birthday time. Good ones, not so bad ones, memorable ones. Plans for this one.

Salutations™!! As you may or may not know, Dear Reader, I have written this blog “every day” (at least FOR every day) since November 1, 2014. That was right after, well a month and a half after, my honeymoon. I did the Rolling Stone Top 500 Albums of All Time list (the 2012 list that…
Salutations™!! Let me start by saying that the number in the title has nothing to do with what I’m going to say here. I tallied up my totals for my podcast episodes. The last I checked, in September, it was 2186. As of today, I have produced or co-produced 2281 episodes. So 95 since September…

Salutations™!! No, I’m not dating, Dear Reader. The Less Desirables will be doing a remote recording from Cin Cin Burger Bar on November 10.

Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of The Police’s Ghost in the Machine album. It has a lot of great tunes, especially the singles. I have always loved this song and this is a unique cover. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“There is no political solution to our troubled evolution. Have no faith…
Salutations™!! That title is a little weird, I know. It won’t make much sense now, but it will over time. It is what it is and what it is will be revealed soon. Until then, today is the 37th anniversary of U2’s The Unforgettable Fire album. And because I don’t pass on playing a Mike…
Salutations™!! With all this “Now Normal” stuff going on, I didn’t even realize that I had passed 2000 blog posts last week. I think my official count makes this 2,008 blog posts. Part of it is that I have posted every, single day since November 1, 2014. That, Dear Reader, is 1,985 days. So, before…
