A “Visit” From an Old Friend

As a guy who has worked in sleep for the last 9 years, you would think I'd know more about dreams and why we dream them. Truth is, I have no clue.

TV Draft Recap

Followers of my blog know that I've been participating in a TV Show Draft, which just wrapped up. It's like a Fantasy Football Draft, in that there are a predetermined number of rounds.

Prompt: Nighttime Rituals

A few of the blogs I follow posted this yesterday. I guess there is a Throwback Thursday prompt each week by a couple sites I cannot remember off the top of my head. I thought this was a very neat set of questions to think back on and answer. After I publish this, I will … Continue reading Prompt: Nighttime Rituals →

Friday Photo Flashback

Recently, I did a blog based on a writing prompt that suggested finding a photo and blogging about the memories that it brings back to you. I enjoyed doing it and thought I would try to do one every Friday. I'm not sure I'll have enough photos to post, but we'll see. The above photo … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

“Almost” Twins

I was looking through some pictures today, hoping to find a good one to post for a "Throwback Thursday." I stumbled on a picture of me when I was Andrew's age.

(Insert Creative Title Here)

We had our garage sale on Friday and Saturday, but Sunday may have been busier than the rest of my weekend. I got my steps in for the day, that's for sure! You may remember that when we were expecting Ella, we took what was our dining room and built a wall to make a … Continue reading (Insert Creative Title Here) →
