Football and UFOs

Crazy ’bout a One-Eye Dog
It is a well known fact for most musicians that not every song makes the final cut when releasing a new album. This also holds true for Asa. Well he hasn’t actually released an album…yet. But he does have song parodies that he wrote a while ago, that he hasn’t shared yet. Take for example […]

The Yule Cat Is on the Prowl

Your Future Self Will Thank You
Let’s face it, nothing in life is guaranteed forever. This includes social media. Yet each day we share everything from our highs to lows, to just the minutia of daily life.

When a Skillet Isn’t a Skillet
Well once again Dad surprised Mom with a gift she would not think of buying herself. Unique yet practical gifts have been a long tradition with our Dad.
