Ghosts at the Crossroads: Chicago Blues Reborn — Full Album & Lyric Journey

Image
Ghosts at the Crossroads: Chicago Blues Reborn — Full Album & Lyric Journey Ghosts at the Crossroads: Chicago Blues Reborn A restless spirit leaves the Delta, rides the Great Migration north, and watches Chicago invent electricity for the blues. This album follows that ghost across eight decades—from Maxwell Street to Chess , from Howlin’ Wolf to the Chicago Blues Festival , all the way into the digital era. Subscribe on YouTube Visit the YouTube Channel Listen on Spotify Visual concept: sepia‑toned collage—Robert Johnson’s specter at a Chicago intersection, 1940s club marquees fading into modern neon; Muddy, Wolf, and Little Walter appear like smoke in the lamplight. (Final cover includes the Deep Dive AI watermark.) Album Overview This is a chronological blues odyssey told from a ghost’s perspective. Each song marks a real turn in Chicago blues history: street‑corne...

Arlene’s Truck Stop — Stuffed Hashbrown Review (Because Kyle Can Eat)

Image
  Arlene’s Truck Stop — Stuffed Hashbrown Review (Because Kyle Can Eat) There’s a special kind of confidence you need to walk into a truck stop diner after watching Kyle Can Eat do an eating challenge. Not “I can do this” confidence—more like “I should at least see what kind of madness I’d be signing up for.” So Kellie and I pulled into Arlene’s Truck Stop (right off I-94 / Newtown Ave in Battle Creek ) and immediately got hit with the two most important things in America: a laminated menu the size of a tax form a chalkboard labeled DAILY FEATURES like it’s announcing the Super Bowl lineup The vibe It’s classic diner energy in the best way: booths, people actually eating real food, and the kind of place where “breakfast all day” isn’t a slogan—it’s a promise. Also, the wall signage helpfully points you toward life’s essentials: checkout, beer cave, soda pop, and shower. That’s not décor. That’s a survival map. The move: Order from the Today’s Special board We both went straight...

Logging In From “Home”… When Home Is a Moving Target

Logging In From “Home”… When Home Is a Moving Target (Based on this cartoon image: a split-screen of us toasting at Secrets Royal Beach while my Charlotte, Michigan computer freezes at -5°F — complete with a “REMOTE LINK,” a snowman on the monitor, and a very unimpressed cat.) :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} The Joke Is That I’m “Logging In From Home”… …and the punchline is that I’m not even sure which home we mean anymore. On the left side of the picture, Kellie and I are doing the most unreasonable thing you can do in winter: sitting in the sun, holding cold drinks, smiling like people who have successfully escaped a weather system with a personal grudge. The palm tree is leaning in like it’s eavesdropping. The ocean is calm. The umbrella is red like it’s been hired as a prop to prove the point. On the right side of the picture, my actual computer back in Charlotte is basically starring in a documentary called “Ice: Nature’s Password Reset.” The monitor is rimmed w...

We Cracked the Resort Schedule Before We Left (and It Felt Like Cheating) | Deep Dive AI

We Cracked the Resort Schedule Before We Left (and It Felt Like Cheating) There’s a specific kind of vacation stress that only shows up when you’re trying to plan fun. You’re not worried about passports. You’re worried about missing the one thing Kellie would’ve loved because the “daily schedule” is apparently a sacred scroll revealed only after you arrive. Punta Cana prep Resort app schedule Less guessing, more fun “Why didn’t we do this sooner?” Quick Addendum: The Exact Schedule Link This is the exact Stay App link we used to get into the resort hub and start finding the daily schedule before we left: Open the Stay App (desktop) → Tip: If the desktop view feels limited, open the same link on your phone or scan the QR inside the page for the mobile experience.

Day One: Letting the Game Slow Us Down

Day One: Letting the Game Slow Us Down | Team Jellie in Punta Cana Day One: Letting the Game Slow Us Down How This Game Works (And What We Drew on Day One) This trip isn’t just a vacation. It’s also a cooperative, low-pressure romance game we built for ourselves called Team Jellie . Each day, we draw three cards. Each card represents a different kind of experience: romance, rest, social warmth, or quiet reset. We don’t force the day to fit the cards — the cards gently frame the day. Hearts → Romance & emotional connection Spades → Water, calm, and internal reset Clubs → Social warmth, laughter, shared moments Diamonds → Treats, indulgence, and “yes, we’re on vacation” energy When a card is played: We do the simple prompt the card suggests We slow down for 5–10 minutes and actually notice it We log XP or spendable rewards ...

Lansing to Dominican Republic

Image
Travel day. We’re still in Michigan, bundled up inside a small airport terminal, waiting to board a direct flight out of Lansing. It’s 8 degrees outside. Feels like −15. The kind of cold that makes you question every decision that led you here. We arrived two hours early, which gave us plenty of time to discover that optimism weighs more than expected. Kellie overpacked by exactly 10 pounds. Not “about” ten. A very official, airline-confirmed ten pounds. That lesson cost us $50 and a quiet moment of reflection at the counter. Add in an Uber ride from about five miles out, and this trip already has a paper trail before we’ve even boarded the plane. Right now it’s coats on, bags at our feet, coffee steaming, and gate screens glowing. Michigan winter on one side of the glass. Caribbean plans on the other. We haven’t boarded yet. But mentally, we’re already halfway there.
