I’m Listening to Casey Kasem’s American Top 40!
ByGenXBratBelieve it I just finished listening to Casey Kasem’s Top 40 from the week ending September 10, 1983!
So cool! I remember what a big part of our life Casey Kasem was every week when I was a teenager. He had such a unique voice. Even if you didn’t know what radio station he was going to be on, all you had to do was flip through the stations until you heard that voice coming across the airwaves and you knew you were there.
40 of our favorite songs that we have listened to all week long… Patiently waiting to see which one was going to be number one! And always such a letdown when it was over because you felt like it was time for a friend to leave. …
I don’t think AI should drive my truck. But I think it can change your life.

It makes sense though. It’s a lot like saying that the day before your 18th birthday you’re NOT an adult, but suddenly at midnite…ta-da!… you’re all grown up. Yeah right. …
The Line Between Keepsakes and Hoarding
ByGenXBratI’m in the process of “getting my life together”… as if that’s a surprise right?! The real question is, “What the hell does that mean!?”
For me, that entails quite a few different things. I want more room in my home which requires that I declutter, more time to focus on the things that matter which requires that I get this stuff done, and the peace of mind that when I die, my son knows what the hell is here which requires that I get organized! But I keep putting these things off because life is happening. But this is ABOUT my life so it’s time to get it together!
Don’t Stop to Pee on Runaway Truck Ramps (And Other Highway Safety Tips)
ByGenXBratI’ve been professionally driving now for 10 years. In that time, I’ve driven more miles than I drove in the 20-something years before that. And yeah, I’ve learned a few things, but I spend more time dodging those drivers who apparently never did!!
So I just wanted to share a few quick tips that may lengthen your life span while you’re out on the road doing whatever it is you’re doing.
