Wednesday Worries and Thoughts

Covid-19 Am I the only one that starts to freak out if I get one of the symptoms related to Covid-19?!! Monday, I got one of the symptoms (I will refrain from saying which one, but I visited the bathroom often), and my first thought was "Please don't let this be Covid!" I called in … Continue reading Wednesday Worries and Thoughts →

A New Car! (Sort of …)

I drive about 70 miles to work each day. Round trip that means I drive about 140 miles 4 times a week. In a year, I will put about 29,000 miles on my car. I got good gas mileage on the car I was driving, however, I was about to turn 170,000 and it was … Continue reading A New Car! (Sort of …) →

“Hello, Papa!”

We had plenty of great reactions when we told our family we were having a baby. One of the most genuine was from my dad. He was just thrilled when he found out. He has always wanted a granddaughter and we took a video of him opening up a onesie that told him he was … Continue reading “Hello, Papa!” →

Fatherly Observations (AKA “Things I Forgot About Having a Newborn”)

Sam and I sat down to start filling in the baby book we received for Ella. It's a very nice book and has little pouches to keep her first lock of hair, baby hospital bracelet and other things. It has places to place her ultrasound pictures, foot and hand prints, and so many other things. … Continue reading Fatherly Observations (AKA “Things I Forgot About Having a Newborn”) →

Place your bets …

"Show me a gambler and I'll show you a loser" - Mario Puzo This is the first year I didn't have any "squares" for the Super Bowl. I am sure I could have purchased some. Some friends on Facebook posted that they had some available, the issue was getting them the money (let alone the … Continue reading Place your bets … →

‘Twas a Blog Before Christmas

It feels like I haven't blogged in forever. Usually Christmas brings about many topics and many memories to write about and I felt like I had dropped the ball. However, as I looked back over the last 7 blogs - 6 of the 7 were Christmas related, so I guess I'm not as "Grinchy" as … Continue reading ‘Twas a Blog Before Christmas →

Oh Christmas Tree …

Happy December to you! Maybe it is because Thanksgiving was so late this year, but it is hard to believe that we are less than a month from Christmas! The reality of that sunk in this weekend as I did a couple shifts at Cars 108 and we are playing all Christmas music. One song … Continue reading Oh Christmas Tree … →

What’s in a name?

The title of this blog is a reference to a great quote by William Shakespeare: Based on Mr. Shakespeare's quote, names really shouldn't matter that much. I think many of us would disagree with him. I mean, a name is often the first thing we learn about a person, right? It is also one of … Continue reading What’s in a name? →

100

Sometimes I feel like I repeat myself in my blogs. If I do, I apologize. In all honesty, sometimes I forget if I have mentioned something in a previous blog. I have been meaning to hook up with my friend and fellow blogger, Max, to learn how to index the content that I have already … Continue reading 100 →

Get the “funk” out!

I am not going to lie, this past week has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. Whether or not there was more bad than good this week, I really can't say. It "feels like" there was a bit more negatives, though, hence the "funk" I was in this morning. I am hoping that … Continue reading Get the “funk” out! →
