“Time Moves Slowly, But Passes Quickly.”

You would think by the third time, I would be able to handle it. Nope. No amount of preparation helped me at all. Last week, we had Ella's open house to meet her kindergarten teacher. She was so excited. We were excited for her. I held it together pretty well for this. We walked around … Continue reading “Time Moves Slowly, But Passes Quickly.” →

Powerful

A friend posted this on Facebook and it really made me think. I am unsure if this is true, but after trying to research the author, Caitriona Loughrey came up. I hope that is the case, because I want to give credit where it is due. As a man now in my mid-50's, this was … Continue reading Powerful →

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. I do the best I can to nap when the kids are napping, but things just never seems to line up … Continue reading Mixed Emotions →

Time. Life. Death. Ripples.

The longest song I ever played on the air was Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie which is just over 18 minutes long.  We played this on the classic rock station (and sometimes on the oldies station) every Thanksgiving.  To those who love the song, it was the perfect length.  To those who hated the song, … Continue reading Time.

Emotional Day

It is still a year away, but it is becoming very real, very quickly. Last month, on the last day of school, my oldest called me and proudly announced, "I'm a senior, dad!"  It's not like I didn't think this time was coming, I knew it was.  I knew when I held him as a … Continue reading Emotional Day →

Four Things You Can’t Recover …

My last blog was 7 days ago.  I had hoped to write for Tune Tuesday, I wanted to write a birthday blog for my wife, do a Top 10 song list for Dean Martin's birthday and post a couple blogs as well, but I am a procrastinator.  I was asked to speak at the annual … Continue reading Four Things You Can’t Recover … →
