It is time for another installment of my Friday Photo Flashback. I had originally planned to post a photo of my parents at my aunt's wedding. When I saw the date, however, I knew I had to go back and grab one from another wedding - theirs. 53 years ago this week, my parents were … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

SMASH! CRACK!
I watched it fall like it was in slow motion. My phone slid off the counter and as it fell I could hear myself yelling in slow motion, "Nooooooo!" I could feel myself reaching out, hoping to get my hands on it before it hit the floor, but I never had the chance. It came … Continue reading SMASH! CRACK!
Hardly Prepared For The Real World
I have made it no secret that Math (Algebra in particular) is NOT my best subject. I did poorly in my high school algebra classes. Yes, I did pass the college Algebra classes I had to take, but it was harder than I could have imagined. It didn't help that I hadn't looked at an … Continue reading Hardly Prepared For The Real World
Getting Smaller
Tuesday is "weigh in" day for me. I sort of have a ritual when it comes to weighing in. As soon as I get up, I use the restroom. I take off my watch, take off my shirt, and weigh in in nothing but my boxers. My apologies for the detail, however, I feel that … Continue reading Getting Smaller
May I Have This Dance?
I posted this on Facebook the other day, but I wanted to post it here, too. I post it here because it is a memory that I do not want to forget. It is one of those moments that a father will treasure forever. Ella has been watching Disney's The Princess and the Frog. She … Continue reading May I Have This Dance?
Time Well Spent
Sometimes, you have to MAKE time. That is what I did the last time my boss asked for all of our "time off requests." I chose one day a month and took it off to be sure that my wife and I get some "us" time. Last Friday, was the first of those days. By … Continue reading Time Well Spent
Friday Photo Flashback
It is time for another installment of my Friday Photo Flashback. This week - a picture I didn't even know I had. It certainly is not a great picture of me, but it does bring back memories. The background seems dark and things behind us are hard to make out, but the people in it … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Outdoor “Nutty” Discovery
I posted this on my Facebook page earlier, but wanted to be sure it made the blog. I took Ella and Andrew out for a walk this morning. We walked a different way than we normally do and I took a small detour. There is a church at the end of our street that has … Continue reading Outdoor “Nutty” Discovery
The Impact They Made
When I was 11 years old, my grandpa died. I knew him as a grandson would - a fun loving family member. This was the extent of how I knew him. I knew him in family situations. He loved to golf, went to church, laughed a lot, and snored when he napped. It wasn't until … Continue reading The Impact They Made
Where’s My Belt?
I was up early enough to go for a walk with the family today. I grabbed a pair of shorts that I have been wearing, which I knew were getting too big, and couldn't find my belt. I asked Sam if she had seen it and she told me no. Then she said, "Don't you … Continue reading Where’s My Belt?
