Date Night

I took Monday off work this week so my wife and I could have a date night. We lined up a sitter (Nana) and began to decide what we wanted to do. There have been plenty of things that my wife and I have wanted to do for a while, so I started looking at … Continue reading Date Night →

When You Wish …

Had a childhood flashback thanks to my daughter yesterday. It is that time of year! The commercials are already starting and two things arrived in the mail. The Amazon and Walmart Wish books arrived in the mail! Let me say that these are a FAR cry from the HUGE wish books that I went through … Continue reading When You Wish … →

A Happy Ending

My first job was a paper route. I delivered for both the Detroit Free Press and the Detroit News. I guess I was probably about 10 or 11. Some of your customers paid the paper directly, but most of the time, you had to go door to door to "collect" for the week's deliveries. My … Continue reading I Miss Record Stores! →
