Thoughts on The Measure

Happy 246th Birthday, USA!

My family and I had a nice weekend celebrating America's birthday. My wife had to work Sunday night, so she came home and slept for part of the day before getting up to get ready for the festivities. As I have mentioned in the past, our city puts on a nice little fireworks show that … Continue reading Happy 246th Birthday, USA! →

My Heart is Full

Recently I posted a blog that was difficult to write. It was regarding some things with my son. It dealt with some hurt I was sorting through. I am happy to say that I was able to see him today.

While at work one night last week, I received the following text message from Sam: It's silly little things like this that I will forever look back on and laugh out loud! Oh well, I picked up a … Continue reading Should I Be Proud or Just Chuckle? →

Weekend Wrap Up

What a crazy weekend! As much as I hate not getting a lot of sleep, I have to admit that some of the funniest stories I write about are due to lack of sleep. Take Saturday for example: We needed groceries and a few things, so Sam went to the store. On her way home, … Continue reading Weekend Wrap Up →
