Brandy has been pushing me to make some more songs for the internet. Actually her exact words were “Make me a song!” Thanks for the push oh lover of stinky cheese. Without further ado here’s my cover of Daydream by the Lovin Spoonful.

Memory Box Monday: My Life in 66 Seconds
To try and squeeze your whole life into 66 seconds is a task. There are so many small pieces that I would have liked to include, but you have to pick the highlights. Actually, you have to pick the highlights of the highlights and hope it’s entertaining.
The challenge to make this video came from Elmify:
…and here is my response:
My wonderful wife was a great help with her suggestions, acting, and camera handling skills. The bit on either side of the flashback is real. Don’t wrong my wife. She is a gypsy and if wronged, will hunt you down like a rabid animal. Have a nice day!
Our One Thing …and a Song
We’ve been looking for what step to take next in our lives and we’ve finally found it. It’s a small step but at least it’s something. Oh yeah, and if you stay till the end of the video, free song!
Memory Box Monday: Dryer Sheet to Soften the Heart
I’ve got a box full of wonderful memories. Over the years people have written me emails of encouragement, leaflets of love, and, in this case, dryer sheets of sunshine.
In my first year of college, I had trouble reaching out and making friends but people from home sent me stacks of letters and pick-me-ups. If the correspondence came in an email, it was immediately printed. I posted those articles all over the walls of my dorm room. I literally surrounded myself with encouragement, and kept every last scrap of paper.
Even after that first year of school, I continued to hold on to any note people gave me. From time to time I add to the bundle myself. Tickets to a play from an anniversary, my wife’s engagement ring receipt, and scraps of clothing from an old uniform have all found their way into that box.
Most of the pieces in this box bring a smile to my face. A few are more serious in nature but remind me of great lessons.
I don’t dive into that box enough, so I’ve decided to institute Memory Box Monday. I will randomly choose a piece from my box and display it.
This first piece was given to me by my wife, before we started dating, and her friend. I do not remember what the circumstance was but I can tell you without a doubt that it was the first note I ever received on a dryer sheet. In case you were wondering, yes, it still has a slight scent after about 10 years.
If any Memory Box Monday post happens to involve a note that you sent me, please leave a comment to fill in the context of my fading memory. If you have a note or memory you would like to share, send it to me and I’ll make it apart of the segment.
