Princesses and Ponies

For over three years now, I've been razzed and quizzed about Disney Princesses. To my credit, I now know most of them, though occasionally I mix up a couple names. I won't lie, I'm pretty proud of the fact that I do know most of them and that I can have a "princess" conversation with … Continue reading Princesses and Ponies →

A Crappy (and funny) Story

Every now and then, I have to blog a story just so I won't forget it. This is one of those times. We have one of those inflatable pools for the kids. You know the ones I'm talking about? They kind of look like this: Ours is a bit bigger than the one above. We … Continue reading A Crappy (and funny) Story →

Conference, Clubs, and Croup

Conference Many readers know I work in Sleep Medicine. Every year there is a sleep conference in Detroit that we try to go to to earn our Continuing Education Units to keep our registry. That conference was last week. Sam and I drove down to Detroit early Thursday afternoon. (The kids got a sleepover at … Continue reading Conference, Clubs, and Croup →

Celebrating Summer

Yesterday was the first day of summer and my family is certainly ready for it! We got an early start a few weeks ago with our day trip to the beach in Caseville, MI. At home, we've got the big sprinkler that looks like a fire hydrant and a blow up pool in the yard … Continue reading Celebrating Summer →

Father’s Day 2023

Father's Day Morning I found out at 3:40am that Mowgli, the new kitten, has quite a loud "meow!" I tried to go back to sleep, but for some reason, I was not able to. So I put on a pot of coffee and grabbed my book. Sam got home from work and had the kids … Continue reading Father’s Day 2023 →

The Cat’s Meow

On the old Soupy Sales show, one of the easiest way to set up a joke was to have someone come banging on his door. One of my favorite lines (that no one else finds funny) goes like this: (Door Knocking) (Soupy opens the door) "Yes?" (Man at door) "Well, I guess you don't like … Continue reading The Cat’s Meow →

Stay Golden

My wife and I had just started dating and she told me she bought me a shirt. She swore that I would "love it." When it arrived, she immediately made me put it on. My first thought was that I was never going to wear it! I eventually caved and began wearing it around the … Continue reading Stay Golden →

We Are “THAT” Couple

When Sam and I got married, a friend gave us two hand towels like the ones pictured above. Ours said, "Mr. Right" and "Mrs. Always Right!" In the years that we've been together, the only time Sam and I have ever "matched" was when we bought a ridiculous pair of Christmas pajamas! After that, we … Continue reading We Are “THAT” Couple →

A New Car!!!

No, I wasn't on the Price is Right. No, I didn't win a new car. However, here is a story of how everything kind of fell into place. The Hyundai (The Goose Mobile) I have been driving was closing in on 200,000 miles. It was almost time to get new tires and put brakes on … Continue reading A New Car!!! →

Birthday Trip To The Zoo

Tuesday was my wife's birthday. She wanted to take the kids to the Detroit Zoo. It was the perfect day! The temperatures were in the mid-70's and the sun was shining. We got to see all the animals that we hoped to see and the kids (and us) had a blast! You may remember that … Continue reading Birthday Trip To The Zoo →
