My Kids – Posers?

One of the things I love about Facebook is the ability to meet others who share the same interests as me.

Some time ago, I saw a painting of Moe Howard that I thought was very well … Continue reading My Kids – Posers? →

Toddler Words

Many years ago, Art Linkletter hosted a show called "Kids Say The Darndest Things." The show was later revamped and was hosted by Bill Cosby. Why was the show a hit? Because it is so true - kids say some of the funniest things!! I remember a few things my older boys used to say … Continue reading Toddler Words →

Nice Day For A Birthday and a Half

Monday is usually my day for getting stuff done. I do laundry. I fold laundry. I load the dishwasher and run it. I pick up the living room and vacuum. I clean up the kitchen and clear the counters.

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.

Mixed Emotions

If I had to describe today with emoji's, I'd need a lot of them! Exhaustion - Tuesdays are always difficult. I get very little sleep before having to come into work for the night.

There is truth to that. As I looked back over my "book" entitled "2021," … Continue reading 2021 – What a Year! →

Back to the Grind …

Back to Work ... After three weeks off work, tonight I have to return to the grind. I was lucky to be able to take some time off to be with Sam and the kids.

National Daughters Day 2021

I have been a father for almost 20 years now. It is a role that I do not take lightly. I have spent most of that time raising two amazing sons. Almost two years ago, I became a "Girl Dad" when my daughter was born. Raising a daughter is VERY different from raising sons. For … Continue reading National Daughters Day 2021 →
