What’s Your Favorite Day Of The Week?
We had a question on the morning show this week: “What’s your favorite day of the week and why?” My immediate answer was Saturday and some agreed but I was interested in whether or not we’d get any other answers. One woman commented that now that she’s retired she likes every day except the weekend.…

Learn What You Can While You Can
I had a great visit the other day with the woman I call the “Matriarch” of the Braley Family. My cousin, Patricia, is the oldest living member of the family and what a wealth of information. I fell out of contact with my cousin over the years. This was something I apologized for when we…

It Cost HOW Much?
In case you don’t know, I do a daily show with my son, Matt, that you can find on YouTube. “The Pete Braley Show” is live at 8 a.m. and available on YouTube anytime after that. It’s a lot like my old radio show where we talk about stories I’ve found online or what’s happening…

Sometimes I’m Reminded How This Is Real
Every now and then I get a reminder that this “$&it’s real!” This weekend I’m back in Virginia Beach, hanging with my grandson Liam, but the real reason for my visit is my son Doug has re-enlisted in the Navy for six more years. It’s hard to believe he’s already been in for ten! This…

GPS: Good or Bad?
Do you think the use of a GPS is dumbing down America? I’m not against using a GPS, in fact I use it everytime we go to Virginia or especially if I’m going to someplace new IN Virginia. You just type it in and you’re all set. The reason this came to mind is, one…

Super Bowl Time
Super Bowl Sunday has always been a big thing with me. I know that not everybody is into football but I think the Super Bowl is an event that most everyone will be talking about the next day. I was trying to remember today, “What was the first Super Bowl I remember watching?” Hmm. I…

Raising ”Bitty?”
Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, and I feel like I haven’t talked to you in a forever! I just had a great visit with Grammy and Grampy, even though I prefer to call them Bitty and Betty. More on that in a couple of minutes. (Bitty tells me that’s a tease. Hee hee!) I think…

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…
