A Week In Review

Tonight I return to work after being off for 6 days. The best thing about being off was being able to spend time with my family. Naturally, I had my camera ready and caught many wonderful moments. Wednesday We were very minimal with the ornaments we put on the tree this year. Ella is all … Continue reading A Week In Review →

A Holiday Tradition

I was introduced to Jack Benny as a kid. I guess the first time I saw him was on Saturday mornings watching cartoons. In 1959, Jack and some of the cast of his show provided voices to "themselves" as mice in a cartoon called The Mouse That Jack Built. Jack, Mary Livingstone, and Rochester My … Continue reading A Holiday Tradition →

She’s Mad!

So this blog is basically a copy/paste from my wife's Facebook page, but it is too funny NOT to share! Ella watches Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and in one particular episode there is a song they sing about being mad. In the episode there is a full version of the song (link below) but most of … Continue reading She’s Mad! →

The Quiet/Loud Game

My daughter has a new "game" she plays with me. It makes me laugh and I love it. Ever since she had her tube surgery, she is talking up a storm! Sometimes she is at the opposite end of the room and will for no reason just start repeating, "Hi, Dada!" "Hi, Mama!" over and … Continue reading The Quiet/Loud Game →

Gearing Up For The Holidays

I feel like I haven't really blogged about "life" lately. I kinda feel like I haven't really even had a minute to sit down and write. Between wacky schedules at work and an even wackier sleep schedule, writing has been a challenge. So here are some highlights from the past couple weeks.... Right after Halloween, … Continue reading Gearing Up For The Holidays →

Instead, my last blog (#500) was about how tired I am! Reflecting As I sat down to write Blog #501, I thought on how far this blog … Continue reading Holy 500! →

Too early …

They are doing a big upgrade at work this week. Because of that, I'm on days for part of the week. In order to be here at 6am, I had to get up at 3am. I haven't done that since I did a morning radio show on a daily basis!! At least when I did … Continue reading Too early … →

Place your bets …

It wasn't too long ago that I remember seeing and hearing ads on TV and radio about gambling. The ads were all about getting help for a gambling addiction. They talked about people who couldn't pay their bills because they had spent all their money on gambling. These ads, as I recall, were pretty powerful. … Continue reading Place your bets … →

“I Miss Us”

Today, our baby boy is one month old. Ella turned 21 months old yesterday. Where did that time go? As you can imagine, life at our house is constant chaos. It's a whole new ball game with two under two. Now that I am back to work, Sam is getting the bulk of the chaos … Continue reading “I Miss Us” →

Reels – Another Annoyance

Many people have already left Facebook to venture over to other social media sites. This is due to censorship, "fact checking," and so much more. I just can't bring myself to leave Facebook. First of all, I have 12 years worth of memories on there. I have pictures, videos, and other random memories that I … Continue reading Reels – Another Annoyance →
