Since you’re an avid reader of this blog, you know that I just finished the last weekend of soccer with my kids. I coach my daughter’s U12 team and assist my son’s U8 team. During the middle of the season I was at a practice 4 nights a week, running my other daughter to dance […]
The death and resurrection of dreams – Happy Easter!
Today is Easter. That probably is not shock to most people. I think it’s not a surprise to anyone who has been following me for anytime that I am a Christian; a pretty devout Christian at that. That makes today important. I actually am writing this on Friday – Good Friday – the day that […]
Word of the Year…an update
In the first couple of days of 2011, I posted about a concept that I was incorporating into my life this year – a “word for the year.” I haven’t said much about it since that initial post. I thought I would give a quick update on some thoughts I’ve had just recently on my […]
Mr T is Awesome
Every few years Mr T makes a small come back. Of course earlier this year the A Team was remade into a movie which brought back all kinds of great memories of watching the show on TV. Mr T of course was the star of the show, and we all have stories about Mr T, […]

It’s been a couple of weeks now since I posted about Kia and I’s 15 year anniversary. Several of you asked for wedding pictures, so I had to go digging. 15 years ago, was definitely before digital for us (not too long before, but it was film for sure). Our wedding photography was a mix […]

14 years
I woke up this morning to the alarm at 6:45. I had been debating on whether to get up at this point all night. I started doing a work-out program (P90X) with Kia and her family (mom, brother and his wife) this week. It’s been kicking my butt. Kia is a little more committed than […]
What I’m thankful for.
I know that I’m a little late, but over the course of the weekend and even the whole week, I have been thinking about what I am thankful for. Some of it has been forced thinking as you’ll see, and some of it is just a re-realization. So what am I thankful for…. […]
Boys and their toys…
Yes, even I have this weakness. So, last weekend I was on a short trip to pick up this awesome piece of machinery. I made my first auto purchase on ebay, and it’s pretty cool. It drives just fine. I drove it 3 hours home from just East of Joplin, Missouri. The pick-up in and […]
