This weekend marked the 14th anniversary of my mother's passing. It was very much on my mind through the entire weekend. However, there were so many other things going on that there was more happiness than sadness. My brother came into town from Ohio and got to meet his niece for the first time. We … Continue reading A Great Fall Weekend!

Autumn in Michigan
The weather has been nice enough over the past two weeks for us to get out and really enjoy the fall weather! It's been pleasantly warm with temps in the high 60's and low 70's.

Phrases like: Business as usual, status quo, day to day affairs, normal activities, daily grind, staying the course, standard practice, and as per usual - don't mean anything anymore. Nothing is normal anymore. As a midnight shift worker, it's hard to know what day … Continue reading My Mind Overflows With Random Thought
A Letter to My Daughter
It is my hope that one day, my children will read over these blogs and learn a little more about their dad.
