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…

The Newest Member of the Braley Bunch
You may have noticed on my Facebook or Priscilla’s post ….. we got a puppy! May I introduce to you…. Charlie! As usual with the Braley’s, there’s a story! We got Charlie last Saturday and yes that was the day Priscilla and I were driving 10 hours back from Virginia Beach. The search started a…

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….
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,…

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…

It Was The Last Normal Week
If you were on Social Media yesterday you might have seen a post that said, “A year ago this was the last normal week and nobody knew it.” It’s true, even though it seems like it’s been more than a year at times. On March 6,2020 we were still living what, at the time, was…

Oh Why Didn’t I Buy Two?
I found myself asking that question this week, “Why didn’t I buy two?” Two what? That would be stuffed bunnies of course. If you’ve been with me on this journey through life, you know I bought my grandson, Liam, a stuffed bunny when he was born. Get them all! When I posted that picture on…

Is There Anything Better?
Seriously, is there anything better? Maybe it’s been a crazy week with so much to do that you don’t even know where to start. Or, if you’re still in a self-quarantine, it can be a way to make the time to go by. It can be a great escape from the cold and snow up…
