Book Recommendation: Ghosts of Honolulu

I just finished reading this book and loved it. I love Historical Non-Fiction stuff and there was so much in here that I didn't know. For example, did you know that Pearl Harbor had a hand in the creation of NCIS? Speaking of NCIS, if you are wondering, Mark Harmon is THAT Mark Harmon from … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Ghosts of Honolulu →

See You Later, Gigi

We woke up this morning to the news that Sam's grandma had passed away. It was not a surprise, as she'd been in hospice for a short time. She was 94 years old. After Sam and I were married, I got to meet Gigi for the first time. She welcomed me into the family with … Continue reading See You Later, Gigi →

No! Just, No!

Crazy Day or Two

So Tuesday night, we headed down to the hotel near the hospital where I prepped for my colonoscopy. I was up the majority of the night for obvious reasons.

Leap Day #1 Songs!

When I thought about what to do for the year's "bonus" day, my first thought was to list a bunch bunch of songs about "leaping" and "jumping." Then I thought that was just too easy.

Tune Tuesday – You Raise Me Up

I thought I'd do something a bit different today. Rather than scroll through my iPod or my hard drive to see what song I felt like writing about, I thought I would check out the celebrity birthdays to see if any artist jumped out at me. One did. Josh Groban turns 43 today and while … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – You Raise Me Up →

Too Much Information! (Sorry)

It is purely coincidence that the last blog I wrote was entitled "Always the Butt of Jokes." Today's blog could have also had "Butt" in the title, however, I decided against it. I will never have to doubt that my wife loves me. She has always proven that on a daily basis. This week, she … Continue reading Too Much Information! (Sorry) →

Always The Butt of Jokes

Reading is always fun here ... Saturday morning reading time. Sam reads this "That's not my monkey. His eyebrows are too hairy!". She asks the kids "Who else has hairy eyebrows?" The answer was a unanimous "Daddy!" Then there was a book about 5 stinky pigs ... you can only imagine what happened when Sam … Continue reading Always The Butt of Jokes →

More Coffee or More Meds?!

As the title of this blog states, yesterday I must have needed more coffee or more medication. I swear I must have been exhausted or just out of my mind! I was straightening up the living room and was looking for the vacuum cleaner. I looked around the living room, in the entryway, in the … Continue reading More Coffee or More Meds?! →

A Royally Good Time

The kids got to go to a neat outing today. The county hosted a "Royal Ball." They had a DJ, many games and activities, and many of the staff dressed as the various princesses. I had to work, but Sam and her mom took the kids and they had a blast! There were plenty of … Continue reading A Royally Good Time →
