Shave and a Haircut ….

When I think about barber shops, I picture something like the photo above. It had the huge barber pole outside and the barbers wore those white coats/smocks. Inside there were the jars with funky blue liquid in them where combs and other tools of the trade might be. There are still a few of them … Continue reading Shave and a Haircut …. →

Fourth – Family – Fireworks

As the holiday weekend draws to a close, I hope you got the chance to enjoy it. We certainly enjoyed it, though it was toned down from previous years. We didn't have the entire family with us this year. Some of the family was sick and some were invited elsewhere or had something else going … Continue reading Fourth – Family – Fireworks →

Moments To Remember

I have mentioned how messes raise my anxiety levels. When the kids are playing in slime, or with play dough, or painting I am anxiously awaiting the mess.

Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother's Day to my amazing wife, Sam.  The responsibilities and duties of motherhood are many and overwhelming at times.  Despite that, she takes her role seriously.  More often than not, she goes above and beyond as mom. I've said before that being a mom is a full time job in itself.  Sam, essentially, has … Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day →

An Udder Disaster

This past Sunday was interesting. My wife had to work that night so she was asleep. The kids were playing in the living room, so I decided it was a good time to shower. I told the kids I would be jumping in the shower and I'd be out as quick as I can. Now, … Continue reading An Udder Disaster →

The Music of My Life – 2015

Welcome back to The Music of My Life, where I feature ten songs from each year of my life.  In most cases, the ten songs I choose will be ones I like personally (unless I explain otherwise). The songs will be selected from Billboard’s Year-end Hot 100 Chart, Acclaimed Music, and will all be released … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 2015 →
