“Let’s Go – While We’re Young!”

Somewhere on the Internet I saw I shirt that read: "I speak fluent movie quotes." There are a few variations of this shirt that incorporate "song lyrics" and "sarcasm," but for me - it is movie quotes. I do this all the time! Here is an example that happened to me today. I left the … Continue reading “Let’s Go – While We’re Young!” →

Honey? Does this outfit match?

If this isn't an unwritten rule, it should be: Kids outfits should be placed in dresser drawers already matched! This blog stems from a conversation I had with my wife before work today. I have never been the greatest at matching clothes for kids. I admit it. I can bet you money that you will … Continue reading Honey? Does this outfit match? →

A Smile Amid Chaos

All you had to do this week was turn on the news, check your social media page, or surf the internet to see the chaos going on in the world. As an American, it makes me sad to see the state of the country. The division within the country is just sickening. Abraham Lincoln quoted … Continue reading A Smile Amid Chaos →

That Time I Ticked Off Soupy Sales … and His Wife!

The great comedian, Soupy Sales, was born today in 1926. In honor of his birthday, I thought I would share a story I don't talk about often, because it still makes me sick to my stomach to think about it.

I subscribe to some daily writing prompts that will occasionally wind up as a good blog idea. I'd say I use about less than 5% of them, as most of them don't really strike a chord with me. Every single one of these prompts said to write about my New Year's Resolutions or Goals for … Continue reading Resolutions or Goals? →

Hindsight Really is 2020 – A Recap

The saying goes, "Hindsight is 2020," and many of us are rejoicing that 2020 is really truly behind us! I often wonder if you were to make a list of positives and negatives of the past year, would one outweigh the other? What about 10-15 years ago?

Covid Christmas Memories

I think you would agree that Christmas was a lot different this year! In a way, it was sad because it was Ella's first Christmas and it should have been spent visiting grandparents and family. Thank goodness for video chats! My dad met me at my work the Monday before Christmas and brought all the … Continue reading Covid Christmas Memories →

I’m Gonna Miss You, “Sir”

I'm still trying to process the loss of my friend, Tom Shaner. He passed away just before Christmas. He was my high school band director. He was more than just a friend to me (and many others). He was a mentor, a leader, a counselor, a cheerleader, a boss, a role model, an advisor, and … Continue reading I’m Gonna Miss You, “Sir” →

Endings and Beginnings

"What feels like the end is often the beginning ..." I will be the first to admit that this blog is more appropriate for the end of the year. However, with the events of the past few days (which I will elaborate on in a future blog), it weighed on me to write these thoughts … Continue reading Endings and Beginnings →
