Watercooler Wednesday - What’s On TV? (Part Two)
(This post is part of the Watercooler Wednesday culture discussion…)
Following up on my last W.W. post, here’s some more viewing habits of the couch-potato version of Paul J…
THE SPEED CHANNEL - For one show only, and that’s the Barrett-Jackson auto auctions. I’ve always said that if I were rich and stupid, the two things I’d […]
Watercooler Wednesday - What’s On TV? (Part One)
Anna and I don’t watch much TV. There are a few shows we try not to miss, and some other shows that we enjoy when we catch them, and some other shows we enjoy that we never thought we’d enjoy.
So, let’s break down what flickers across the cathode-ray tube and catches the Joseph’s attention:
NETWORK TELEVISION: […]
Watercooler Wednesday - Video Games
I’m not much of a current “gamer”. Haven’t owned a Playstation, XBox, or Wii. Have an old Nintendo 64 console somewhere in my basement, which still plays a mean Super Mario Brothers.
But back in the college days, I can’t even begin to imagine how many quarters I dropped in pinball machines and video game consoles. […]
Watercooler Wednesday - Return Of The Keytar
(This post is part of the Watercooler Wednesday series at Ethos. Check it out and join in!)
We’ve taken a few trips down memory lane about “keytars” lately…including this post with Herbie Hancock and Howard Jones rocking theirs, and this post showing me and Eddie DeGarmo back in the big-hair days of CCM.

Watercooler Wednesday - Politics
Speaking of culture…you just can’t get away from politics right now, can you?
I’ve stayed away from the topic in this blog so far. But I might have a thing or two to say eventually.
I will say this. I’ve voted Republican. I’ve voted Democrat. I’ve voted Independent. I think I may have voted Libertarian once, it […]
Watercooler Wednesday - A Great Composer You’ve Never Heard Of
From FoxNews.com today, the death of Earle Hagen at 88 years old.
“Earle who?” you may ask…
Oh, you’ve heard him. You’ve probably just never heard of him.
Think of the most famous whistled melody you’ve ever heard.
Yep.
Earle wrote the theme for The Andy Griffith Show. And yes, he’s the one whistling it on the recording. (links for […]
Watercooler Wednesday - Pop Goes The Church
(This post is part of the Watercooler Wednesday series hosted at Ethos)
I just finished reading (and am now re-reading) “Pop Goes The Church” by Tim Stevens (here’s links to the book on Amazon and the book’s website for you).
There’s enough material in this book for a few month’s worth of posts. But I’d like to […]
Watercooler Wednesday - Movie Chills
No, I’m not talking about horror movies or scary, “made-you-jump” moments. What’s the ONE scene in your favorite movie (or any movie) that sent the proverbial chills up your spine? And remember, slasher/horror movies are disqualified.
Maybe you have more than one. A few that come to MY mind…
Return Of The King - Elrond gives the […]
