New Tag Line

OK, blogheads. I have gone radical and changed my blog name. TeleDan was a good start but it was too superficial for me and, besides, alot of people thought I was saying Taliban. Can’t have that now. You ask why the name Boatrocker? Couple of reasons. Number one, it appears I will be living on a [...]

Turkey Talk

I had a totally awesome turkey hunt this morning. After two hours of trying to convice a nice gobbler to leave his girlfriends for another woman I scored! 24 pounds, nine inch beard, just 3/4 inch spurs but a wiley bird for sure. I had to pull out all the stops, including decoys and aggressive calling, but it payed off. My [...]

Friendly Rhetoric

I’m back! I was told recently by a person I have known for some time that I am a good friend. That is up for debate. A question to anyone out there who cares to chime in. How do you define a “friend”?
P.S. I feel like I am writing to Dear Abby. 

Officially Official

Well, most of you in NewSong land have probably already heard the news about the big move (again!). It looks real this time. Last week my position with the hospitals was eliminated and yesterday was my last official day. I lost my educator position in 2001 too, but God had a back-up plan then that kept me [...]

Snipers

One day I had the privilege of hearing the accounts of a World War II veteran who fought in the European theatre of operations. He was asked what his least favorite part of fighting in the war had been, other than the constant threat of instant death. His answer? “Oh, how I hated snipers”. He described what it felt [...]

When God moves…

My life is about to change. Pray that God is honored and glorified through me no matter how the path might change.  
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Superman Sings!

I probably shouldn’t do this but I can’t resist. The Man of Steel has tremendous vocal potential! I was polishing off a weight watcher’s meal (yes, fast food isn’t just burritos & burgers) in the studio and heard this voice I had never heard before. I had to look up from my tray of tripe to [...]

A Hart for God

For you die-hard Wolverines. I read a great snippet out of the Clinton Local from last Thursday. A group of middle schoolers from Clinton, MI. had the incredible good fortune of visiting the Michigan football team during their spring practice. They met coach Carr, Jamar Adams and star running back Mike Hart. Here is a cut [...]

My Butt’s Draggin’

I can do this. pant, pant, pant. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. pant, pant, wheeze, cough, spit, pant. Chooo chooo. These are just some of the word hallucinations I experienced this evening as I lugged myself around the running path. The things I think about when I run… or jog… or [...]

An Original Hellecaster

I was on my way back to my brother & sister-in-law’s house here in Gainesville, Ga. with two bags of boiled peanuts (there had been three!) and an ice cold Stewarts rootbeer. The moment had come, finally! I snuck over to Ted’s Pro Music located downtown. I walked in the door expecting to peform my annual ritual of [...]
