  • Better to Fly or Drive?

    Better to Fly or Drive?

    We just got back from another trip to Virginia Beach……10-plus hours in the car. Again! You’d think by now I would be used to this but I’m not. I’ve done this trip both ways: drive and fly. I have to say my choice would be to fly. We can’t always do it because of the…

    It felt so good to be back at it. My son Matt and I started our new talk show on YouTube this week. It’s live weekday mornings at 8 a.m. or you can watch it anytime on YouTube. Just search “The Pete Braley Show” then subscribe. I think we had a good first week but…

  • What Age Would You Choose?

    What Age Would You Choose?

    The syndicated radio host Bobby Bones recently asked his listeners, “If you could be any age for the rest of your life, what age would you choose?” Hmmm. Teenager? No, especially those awkward middle school years. My first reaction was that I would want to be in my 20’s again. Wouldn’t you? The aches and…

  • Becoming THAT Guy

    Becoming THAT Guy

    O.M.G. I’ve turned into THAT guy! I never thought I would be THAT guy. I thought I knew enough and had an open mind and loved to learn new things. This week I had the pleasure of getting back behind the microphone for New Bedford Cable Network. I worked with my friend Joe Cabral covering…

  • I’m Home!

    I’m Home!

    I’m home. Finally. I’ve been home a few times over the past year and a half but that was only for a week or a few days. This time I brought everything back with me. It’s easy to pack when you’re bringing everything. For those that don’t know, I have been in Virginia Beach since…

  • Did You Ever Stop To Think….

    Did You Ever Stop To Think….

    A few years ago, okay many years ago, I had a very good friend give me a piece of advice that came to mind just the other day. My daughter, Sarah, was getting frustrated with my grandson, Liam. He was just being a toddler but I was reminded of what my friend told me years…

    Doesn’t Anyone In This Generation Iron?

    As you may or may not know, I’ve been in Virginia Beach for over a year now taking care of my grandson. I spent the first eight months at my son’s house because his wife was deployed and then moved over to my daughter Sarah’s place. I like to wear these button down, long sleeve,…

  • Mind If I Vent?

    Mind If I Vent?

    I’ve heard so many stories from some of my family members over the past few weeks that I finally have the need to vent or rant or whatever you want to call it. Of course, the people that need to hear this won’t, or they won’t believe it’s about them. Or they will say, “But…

  • How Do You Know?

    How Do You Know?

    I find myself wondering, “How do you know when the timing is right?” “Have I waited long enough?” “Am I ready?” “How do you know when you’re ready to get a new dog?” Our Beagle, Oscar, died last May. His buddy, and our awesome friend Baxter the Golden Retriever, crossed the Rainbow Bridge near the…
