Finally – A Movie I Can Get Excited To See !

If you were to ask me "What is the last movie you saw in a theater?" I wouldn't be able to give you an answer. Honestly. I don't remember. For what it is worth, there really haven't been any movies that have really made me want to go to the theater to see them either. … Continue reading Finally – A Movie I Can Get Excited To See ! →

Covid Update

Hello readers. I wanted to check in. I am still recovering from Covid and the flu. I'm not going to lie, it's been an experience. At work, we screen folks for Covid everyday. One of the things we ask is, "Do you have any flu-like symptoms?". I tell you that because the one thing I'm … Continue reading Covid Update →

The Shenanigans Are Over

For the first time in 2 years, the Chicago River was dyed green yesterday. The St. Patrick's Day tradition had been put on hiatus because of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The dye will stay in the water for about 48 hours and then it will change back to normal. I posted my usual stupid St. Patrick's … Continue reading The Shenanigans Are Over →

A Two-riffic Birthday!

Yesterday, I blogged about it being Ella's last night as a one year old. Today (2-10) she officially turned two! On one of the Facebook "dad" groups I am a part of, someone posted that "Time is a thief." That is so true. I am still scratching my head and wondering how she could be … Continue reading A Two-riffic Birthday! →

Grief

I saw this twice on Facebook today and it really hit me. It is SO very true. I'm sure that collectively, you and I could easily add more true statements to this. I wish I knew who wrote it to give them proper credit. I am reposting it here, so I will always have it … Continue reading Grief →

It Still Ain’t Flat!

Remember when all it was going to take was two weeks to "flatten the curve?" A mere 14 days.... This is not meant to be political or start an argument or debate. It is just an observation that I wanted to write about. I don't want your political opinions and I don't want debates or … Continue reading It Still Ain’t Flat! →

Holiday Grief

The song says, "It's the most wonderful time of the year," but for some, it isn't. Some are dealing with grief and the loss of a loved one and I tend to think that the holidays make that grief a bit more difficult than it already is. I have written about death and grief before. … Continue reading Holiday Grief →

So much death …

For 5 days, I have opened my blog with every intention of writing. I have stared at the blank page, not really knowing what to write. How do I begin to even tackle what has been on my mind? I mean, I didn't even tell my wife about it until just a couple days ago. … Continue reading So much death … →
