Voicemail (MM #4570)
Life changes, and so does technology. I've been on the earth long enough to see numerous advances in communications. Growing up, we had the phone on the wall with the long cord. When it rang, you …

Little Red Rodeo (MM #4568)
I've often wondered why some songs get stuck in our heads whenever we hear them. Sometimes, they're songs you love, and other times, they're just songs you hear often. Recently, I listened to a cou…

Predictable (MM #4567)
I consume a lot of media. Radio, TV, podcasts, streaming video, audio, you name it, I'm plugged in all the time. And one thing I've noticed with much of this content is that it's often predictable. C…

Competition (MM #4566)
Has decorating for Halloween become a competition? When I was growing up, most people just craved a jack-o-lantern and perhaps stuck a candle inside. If you had kids, you might tape a few cardboard g…

First Aid Kit (MM #4565)
You only think about a first aid kit once you need one. We have a small box around the house, so we're usually ready for any medical emergency. But the other day at work, I ran into a door-mounted …

Spacing (MM #4562)
We all have quirks. Some of them even turn into pet peeves. As I drove to work the other day, I realized that I often consumed myself with spacing. While driving, I obsess over the space between c…

Sloppy (MM #4561)
As a plus-sized man, I do my best to look presentable as often as possible. I never want someone to look at me and think there goes a fat slob. And, most of the time, that works well. But every so…

For many, Nashville is a fun town. It's where all the bachelorettes come to have a great time. If you love country music, it's the mecca. But in reality, it's like any large city across America. We h…

Brief Moment (MM #4558)
Yesterday, I had a brief moment of panic. It wasn't over anything serious; it was just an honest impulse reaction when my wife asked me a question. Panic was my gut reaction, but only for a split sec…

Pickup Trucks (MM #4557)
When I was a kid, the only people with pickup trucks were farmers and the local handyman. They were basic transportation with no frills. Of course, today, that's all changed. Pickups now offer more l…

The Drugstore (MM #4556)
I had to stop by the drugstore yesterday to pick up some sinus medication. When I walked in, I noticed how dark and sad the whole store was. It's always that way. I realize many people who visit a…

Portion Sizes (MM #4553)
