S’more was with our family for over 16 years…but today we laid him to rest. Anyone who says a dog isn’t part of the family ain’t right in the head. I made a little tribute video and have been sporadically bursting into tears while making it. He was our little family’s first dog and he …

Website’s First Post!
No One: Absolutely No One: Deano: 38,000 word / 85-page website…and just getting started… OK! I get it! No one asked for it. No one wanted it. But that doesn’t stop me from delivering! Today I’m rolling out my website at http://www.deanorolls.com. All the information about me that no one wants or needs will now …
Podcast Update (2019)
I listen to tons of podcasts…tons! I turn off the music and turn on the brain! Listening to really, really smart people talk about things I want to learn about for a long, long time forces dumb, dumb Deano to get a little bit smarter. Generally, when I’m listening to a podcast I’m not just …
Houses Are Vehicles Too?!?
I’ve listed all my vehicles on my site. Houses?!? Vehicles?!? Sure, you sit in them. Right?!? We at least trade them like vehicles in our family. With a growing family quickly outgrowing and wearing out cars we didn’t just trade cars a lot we also moved a lot. Chronologically: Apartment – The Lakes Of Bellevue, …
Best Job I Ever Had?
Glad you asked: VALET! I did this while in college and I got to drive some very cool cars during my time there. If you’ve ever seen the movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off when the valet takes the Dad’s ’61 Ferrari 250 GT for a joy ride and he said to Ferris, “Relax. You guys …
Vehicles Update (2019)
I’m a redneck. I’m a poor boy from Springfield TN. If it has a piston in it, I am hopelessly addicted to it. Cars, motorcycles, boats, tractors, mowers…you name it…I find them fascinating. I’m also cheap, so I almost always try to buy the cheapest version of these things I can find (which sometimes works …
Books Update (2019)
I’m not the most well-read guy rolling around the planet. I admit it. I read a ton; I just don’t spend a ton of time reading books. I also rarely read fiction. When I read, I read to learn and generally am reading articles about whatever it is I’m trying to learn about (or to …
Chasing Down The Best Music!
I’m a collector. I like to research, seek out, collect, rank, classify, and organize stuff. One of the things I’ve always enjoyed collecting is music. When I was a kid and didn’t have any money, I would listen to the Top 40 Countdown on the radio (hosted by Casey Kasem). I’d have a cassette recorder …
Games Update (2019)
I was (am) a NERD! In high school Susie was busy getting voted to homecoming courts, going to parties, and joining social fraternities. I had no time for all that?!? I was busy in the jazz band, show choir, select chorus, Robertson County Players, marching band (trombone), student council (Class Treasurer), and paper staff. Sure, …
Comics Update (2019)
As a child, I actually enjoyed getting braces (and endured the pain that came along with them) because it meant we got to go to town, and I could go to the comic book store?!? Ah…comic books! Was there ever a more perfect medium of expression. I’d spend as much of my hard-earned money as …
