And They’re Back!
January 23,2022 by Pete Braley Yes it’s true: They’re baaaack! What’s that, you ask? Well that would be the winter blues! I wasn’t here for the blues last year. I was still in Virginia Beach playing Grampnanny for my grandson Liam. Not that they have tropical winters and actually, they had 4 or 5 inches…

Do We Still Need Pennies?
by Pete Braley I was at Walmart the other day to pick up a few random things. After shopping I went to the self-checkout and paid with my card but then I noticed that the little bottle of garlic powder had slipped to the back of the carriage. I had already paid and, I’ll admit…

How Long Have I Been Trying To Win?
Sunday Column by Pete Braley I was thinking the other day (Something I do WAY TOO MUCH of especially when I’m trying to sleep), ”How long have I been trying to win the stupid lottery?” I was thinking about what I had to do the next day and I remembered that I needed to play…

People! Please Stay Home!
I know I’m not sharing any “Breaking News” here but a lot of people are getting sick. And when they get sick some are calling 9-1-1 for an ambulance to take them to the hospital. And THAT’S what I feel the need to write about. In the majority of cases…you can probably just stay home.…

Trying To Explain Stroke Fatigue
Sunday Column Pete Braley I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m in a Facebook group for stroke survivors. I find it very interesting and if nothing else, it shows that you’re not alone in some of the what you’re dealing with. It’s very eye-opening at times when you see how others have been affected and…

I Love That Quiet Time
I have always loved that quiet time on Christmas Eve when everything’s done and – even if there may not be peace on earth – there’s peace in the house. Everything is done. The shopping, wrapping, baking, decorating, and all the running around has ended. And if it didn’t get done — well it’s too…

Jesus Is The Reason
I’ve learned over the years that people collect all kinds of things beside the usual coins or stamps. My wife, Priscilla, collects nativity sets which I never really realized until this year. I knew she had a couple but this year she decided to post a different nativity picture on Facebook every day. I actually…

Charlie’s First Christmas
Yes it’s Charlie’s first Christmas and so far so good. In case you don’t know, Charlie is our puppy that we got in May. He is a Schnoodle, which is a mix between a Schnauzer and a poodle. (I still love saying Schnoodle. It’s such a fun word.) Charlie is now 9-months old. I had…

It’s That Time Of Year Again!
It’s that time of year again! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said that line over my 40 years in radio. “It’s that time of year again to: Buy a new car!” (Yeah right!”) Buy jewelry!” Buy beer and wine!” Buy more beer and wine!” I could use that line in a number…
