94.7 The Brew
One of the things I have come to learn about getting older is that some of the greatest moments in life occurred during our youth. There is a new radio station in OKC, it is called 94.7 The Brew and I believe their slogan is “Classic Rock for the Next Generation.” It makes me a little sad to know that the music I grew up listening to and learning to play on guitar is now considered classic rock. I wonder how the guys of bands like Guns-n-Roses, Bon Jovi, Poison, and Van Halen feel about their music being classified as classic rock?
Lately, The Brew has helped me enjoy my morning drive to work. There are no morning radio hosts, they just play some of the best music that was ever produced. Each morning I find myself taking a little trip down memory lane, thinking back to a time when I didn’t have so many responsibilities in life. Some of the memories that listening to the music of my youth has brought back makes me wish things were still as simple as they once were. It seems somewhere along the way that society, especially everyone in my generation, got a little too caught up in the rat-race we call life.
So tomorrow on your way to work or on your afternoon drive to pick the children up from school, why not tune your radio to 94.7 The Brew and listen to some tunes that will remind you a simpler time in life when there wasn’t so much greed, hate, destruction or war.
Wahaha Express – Revisited
One of my absolute favorite places to have lunch is Wahaha Express, an Asian diner in Edmond. Once a week, a group of guys from work and I go there and have lunch. At this point, we don’t need a menu anymore; we have even developed a friendship with the owner of the place.
I have written about Wahaha Express before, however I feel the need to tell you about it once again. In my personal opinion it is the best Asian cuisine you can find in the metro area. The Hot & Sour Soup is my personal favorite. I honestly crave the stuff. Their General’s Chicken is probably the best I have ever had and I am a huge fan of their Vegetable Lo Mein.

I should have tried Jason’s Deli sooner.
Jason’s Deli is one of those places that for years I would not venture into. There was no particular reason for my avoidance of Jason’s Deli; typically I am just a creature of habit and do not deviate outside of my comfort zone.
About a year ago I decided that it was time to go somewhere new for my sandwich fix. I also had heard that they have a great salad bar, which I thought my wife might enjoy since she tends to frequent SouperSalad. Click here to continue reading.
Breakfast at Beverly’s Pancake House
I have lived in OKC for over 20 years now. There are places in town that I have heard about but have never tried. One of those places is Beverly ’s Pancake House.
Recently my wife and I took a day off in the middle of the week so that we could have some time with each other while our son was at preschool. Instead of going to our usual breakfast spot, IHOP or Jimmy’s Egg, I talked her into trying Beverly ’s Pancake House. Click here to continue reading.
My fun filled evening with friends at McNellie’s.
Not too long ago while in Tulsa visiting the in-laws, my wife and I met up with Jerry, the Irritated Tulsan. He was kind enough to take us to one of his favorite places, which is now one of mine too, McNellie’s Public House. We spent the evening having one lengthy conversation after another, all the while enjoying some great food. I also sampled a couple of the incredible handcrafted beers that were featured on their very extensive and unique beer list.
McNellie’s was such a great place to hang out and enjoy some great pub food, drinks and colorful conversations. Should you find yourself in Tulsa and are unsure of what to do for the evening, I highly recommend that you stop by McNellies and enjoy all that it has to offer.

Myriad Botanical Gardens and Crystal Bridge Conservatory
Recently I managed to convince Jerry, the mastermind of the Irritated Tulsan blog to come visit OKC. While he was in town we decided to go to the Myriad Botanical Gardens and Crystal Bridge Conservatory. Not only were there countless plants to admire, but inside it was a very warm and tropical environment compared to the harsh, cold weather outside. As usual, I had my camera and took photos to share with all of you. Click here to see all of the photos.
I See a Bad Moon Rising at Wal-Mart.
I am a huge fan of the website People of Walmart, I like to go to the website and laugh. I personally find it hard to believe that people actually go out in public looking the way they do in the photos that are featured on that website.
I typically do my very best to avoid Walmart, however occasionally I do have to go to the Neighborhood Wal-Mart that is near my house. Yesterday on my way home from work, my son and I had to run into the aforementioned Neighborhood Wal-Mart so that we might get some milk. While waiting in line to check out, I pulled out my iPhone and took the photo that you see posted here. I looks just like something you would see on the website for the People of Walmart.
Starbucks in Ardmore, OK …thank you!
As I have mentioned in the past I have a weakness for Starbucks coffee. This past weekend I went to Ardmore to visit my mom for Christmas. On our way home we stopped my Starbucks for a little something to enjoy on our long drive back to the city. I ordered a Mocha Frappuccino with a shot of espresso, one of my usual drinks. Once we made it to the drive-thru window so that we might pay for our tasty beverages I could not help but notice that there were three drinks setting there, even though we had only ordered two. When the gentleman opened the window and handed us our drinks he said “I had a little extra left and did not want to waste it. I thought you might enjoy it instead.” I have to tell you, the thought of some free Starbucks was so overwhelming that I took a photo of the “free” little cup of goodness, which by the way is featured with this post, but I also felt the need to write about it and share it with those of you that read this blog. Not to mention that I wanted to give a special thank you to the Starbucks in Ardmore for the extra dose of heavenly goodness.
