Friday morning…bring on the weekend. We’ve got a 55 degree high on tap today in Nashville.
And…it’s Friday the 13th y’all.
YESTERDAY
Rob Bellamy and got together on the computer screens to write a new song from an idea that he had. Rob is out in Boston with his wife Ayla and now their two small kids.
I accused Rob of having a hockey beard as it was full and he told me indeed it’s his “playoff” hockey beard. He should know as he played very competitive hockey…got as high as one can in minor league hockey. And he was the “enforcer” for the teams he skated with…so he knew how to “drop” gloves and throw down on the ice and he often did.
His sister also played competitive hockey. In fact she skated with the Gold Medal USA hockey team that won it all at the Winter Olympics in Korea a few years ago…and Rob’s wife Ayla was invited to sing the National Anthem before that gold medal game that night.
So…we caught up family lives, talked a little hockey…and wrote a new song together. That’s a pretty good day.
SONG OF THE DAY
It’s only appropriate to share a Rob Bellamy song that we wrote…a fun one…that Rob put out a couple of years ago. “If There Was No Alcohol.” Think about how different celebrations would be if we had none? That’s what this litte beachy tune is about…click on to listen.
HEALTH NOTES
Stanley, the folks who make those cups that went viral this past year is recalling 2.6 million mugs due to dozens of people suffering from burns caused by a defect in the lid.
Scientist say one good technique to help with lower back pain is to do hamstring stretches. (My technique has always been to just lie down and whimper)
Those folks who know these things claim that people of read “just for fun” have different brains. The technical explanation is they have a larger anterior part of the temporal lobe in the left hemisphere compared to the right.
HERE’S YOUR SIGN
Hmm….I’ll be up all night now wondering about that.
THE VOICE
In case you’ve ever wondered…the contestants that win “The Voice”? They pay them $100,000. I write songs with a couple of those winners…and so far they’ve not offered to share any of their winnings with me. Sigh.
OH DEER
In New Jersey a deer went bonkers…crashed through a window of business and then pretty much destroyed the Christmas tree that was standing inside. Just another episode of “Deer Gone Wild.” And man, there seem to be a lot of them this year. We have a herd that shows up regularly in our front and back yard. I’ve counted as many as 11 or more at times…couple of big bucks are part of that crowd. My wife won’t let me put up a deer stand.
I did notice the positive part of having so many deer. I was clearing the backyard of debris and saw several signs that told me that I won’t have to fertilize any time soon.
SPEAKING OF DEER
Every year folks hold “Ugliest Christmas sweater” competitions. Surely this dude won…right?
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
I’ve run out of room on Facebook to accept more friends.
That actually happened quite a while ago so I found myself not accepting new “friend”
requests. So…I finally started a Fan Page. So, if you follow me on that social
network…do look for the new page and hit the “follow” button. Most of the stuff
I’ll be posting will be on that page…and not the other. And I’d love to have
you follow along if you would. Here’s the link. https://www.facebook.com/billwhytecomedy Just look for the picture below.
MOM TWEET
“I thought I was having a bad morning and then remembered that some people have
to wake up with that Elf on a Shelf.” ((Proof that things could always be worse.)
TODAY
I’ve got a free weekend starting with today…maybe I’ll get my Christmas shopping finished. Maybe.
Have a great weekend!
