My Art

Rising over Dew

This image is from a sunrise at the Springbrook Prairie in Naperville, Illinois, shot a bunch of years ago when I lived out there.

Music I’ve Found

Mike Posner

You might remember Mike Posner from the song “Cooler Than Me” released back in 2009.

I heard Mike interviewed on the My First Million Podcast and found his story very interesting, I mean the dude started his career from a dorm room and recently walked across America, even getting bitten by a rattlesnake along the way.

He’s got a new song out called “Beautiful Day.” It’s a catchy tune, and might just brighten your day.


My Dorky Song

Going to the Haircut Shop

Someone I know and love made fun of me for saying I was going to the “haircut shop.”

It was rightly deserved, but it also created this little song.


I Program

Make Me Smile App

As this week comes to a close, you might find that you need a reason to smile.

There’s an iPhone app for that called “Make Me Smile.”

It’s free, but if you wanted to “tip” me a few bucks, it’s appreciated.


One More Thing…

Tiny Toad

Nope, it’s not a jumping spider, it’s a tiny toad!

Smaller than your finger nail, I’m always curious how people actually find these things!


Thanks always for your interest!

If you would be so kind to share this newsletter with your friends, I would appreciate it!

See you next week!
