BILL BLOG Tuesday, February 24, 2026   Hello Tuesday morning. It’s just 22 degrees as I begin this blog this morning, but we’ll reach a high of 49 degrees and then continue to warm up for the rest of the week, eventually hitting 70-degree highs by the weekend.   Meanwhile, the Northeast is buried with record snow in some places. 350,000 folks without power, and we know that feeling here in Music City after the ice storm that rolled through here a couple of weeks ago.   YESTERDAY I had to reschedule a writing appointment yesterday on short notice due to unforeseen circumstances. That opened up my day, and I spent some time producing some AI Trop Rock songs for my co-writer, Rick Lang , who wants these songs to be put on a CD that he can give to family and friends this Christmas. Pretty cool gift, and I’m happy he chose me to produce these. Fun.   SONG OF THE DAY I’ve written my share of Trop Rock songs over the past several years. A whole bunch of ...

BILL BLOG Monday, February 23, 2026   Made it to Monday morning, preparing for a full week, the LAST week of February. The temperature will only go up to 33 today in Nashville, but then it starts warming up.   And, I’m not in the northeast where 2 inches of snow is falling. New York City already has 250,000 without power. We know that feeling in Nashville after our recent ice storm.     THE WEEKEND Both my wife and I were recovering over the weekend from a week-long bout with the flu, and we’re preparing for her first-ever book signing at a private event this Saturday.   And while that’s going on, our daughter and son-in-law were skiing in France this weekend.   Not a bad life. My daughter’s husband, Casey , is a really good snowboarder, while she probably tumbled down the “bunny hill” a few times, just like her Dad did when he was learning to ski on Sandia Peak a long while ago out in New Mexico. Hopefully, she did not plow throug...

BILL BLOG Friday, February 20, 2026   Friday morning, and we’re headed for the weekend.   It was balmy in Nashville yesterday with the temperatures up in the 70’s. 62 will be the high today, and come Monday morning, the high will be a cold 31. Yo-Yo weather. Could be worse.   Illinois had a tornado touch down last evening, the Midwest saw a lot of severe weather, and Florida is getting hit with a “bomb cyclone” that will drop temperatures in the Sunshine State into the 20’s and 30’s. Don’t let one of these hit you in the head.   On the positive side, Spring Training baseball is about to happen, and in a couple of weeks, we Spring forward.   YESTERDAY Another day of rest and recovery from the flu. So many folks I know are down with it, and it seems to be a strain that drags on way too long, at least for me. Getting a bit better, though.   I did watch the U.S. Women’s Hockey team beat Canada in some kind of exciting overtime game t...
