TV Show Draft – Round 9 Pick – Arrested Development

My ninth pick in the Hanspostcard TV Show Draft is a show that consistently made me laugh out loud - Arrested Development. I know going into this blog that it was a show that not everyone "gets."

My Father’s Day Weekend

Father's Day began for me on Saturday morning. We celebrated Saturday because Sam had to work on Sunday. When I returned home from work, my kids were already up and waiting. Sam had texted me that Ella was anxious for me to come home to get my present. Ella was excited because she had seen … Continue reading My Father’s Day Weekend →

Ah, Yes … No!

We've reached another milestone at our house. Let me rephrase that - We've reached an unwanted milestone at our house. As Ella's vocabulary has expanded, she is speaking in full sentences now.

“Start Saving”

Sam made dentist appointments for both kids this week. When she called, she asked about what age they will start seeing babies.

Weekend Wrap Up

Saturday Sam and I took the kids out to eat at a local pizza place. They have a patio, which allowed us to eat outside. The weather was perfect. It was sunny, but not too hot and there was a nice breeze. Of course, there was plenty of cottonwood flying about, which was only a … Continue reading Weekend Wrap Up →

As a Kid, I Was An Idiot

As a child, I wish I had thought more like Dwight Schrute (see above quote). In swapping childhood stories at work, it became very clear to me that as a child I was an idiot. Here are just a couple examples. They'd be worth money today In 1977-1978, my grandparents bought me and my brother … Continue reading As a Kid, I Was An Idiot →

TV Show Draft – Round 8 Pick-Sherlock

We have come to the eighth round of the Hanspostcard TV Show Draft. I have already picked Columbo and Perry Mason, and for this round I have another mystery show.

Cast the Movie of Your Life

The Word Press App on my phone will offer a daily writing prompt to bloggers. I subscribe to a few "prompt" emails and such, and they can certainly be thought starters.
