So my wife’s friends came and went this weekend. Driving from as far as the Quad Cities in Illinois, the crew piled into 2 cars and made it late Thursday evening. The cast of characters were 3 of Steph’s best friends from high school, their husbands and their kids. On Friday, we went to King’s Island. [...]

In 1990, Christian Slater starred in a movie about a high schooler who set up an underground radio station in his basement and broadcast illegally using the moniker “Happy Harry Hard On”. I’ve always liked that movie and today I put it in ye ol’ DVD player and was giving it a spin and realized [...]

So my wife’s high school friends came to town for a weekend of fun and excitement here in Cincinnati. On Friday morning we all packed up our bags and headed to Kings Island for a day. It was a hot day and our thought that “maybe because we were going on a weekday so the crowds [...]

I attended a wake today. One of my best friends’ mother passed away over this past weekend. The woman who passed had 8 children and lived a happy life. It’s always sad when a loved one dies. I can’t even imagine the pain and heartache. But my friend is doing well and the wake itself [...]

Last night I was sitting on my front steps, drinking a Snapple and watching the lightning bugs flitter around my front yard. I don’t remember the last time I did that, but as I sat there, I drifted down memory lane and thought about how many times as a kid I used to just sit [...]

So my Mom threw a heck of a “Birthday Bash” for myself (turning 40), my brother (turning 30) and my Dad (turning 70!) this weekend! It was a fantastic time with all of my friends and family. We had a great dinner with great music (Thanks Steppenwolf!) and dancing! A lot had to happen to get [...]

For our “Big Birthday Bash” this Saturday, my Mom asked me to put together a video of old pictures to music. Because I’m the “TV Guy” in the family, this sort of thing usually is my job for family functions, but this time it was kind of strange considering one of the subjects is me. [...]

The world of stand-up was rocked today with news that long-time fan favorite George Carlin died of heart failure at the age of 71. He will forever be remembered as the comic who made “The List“, which was the 7 dirty words you can’t say on television. I remember hearing that bit on vinyl at [...]

For about a month and a half now, I have been using a conditioner that my wife bought by mistake. It’s called Pantene Pro-V. She originally bought it because she thought it was shampoo. So instead of returning it, I’ve been using it. On the bottle, it says “Daily Moisture Renewal” on it. And right [...]

We’re on vacation. Relaxing after a great day. Steph has made us dinner which consists of leftovers and some pasta that she’s made. Right in the middle of dinner, without any type of warning, Christopher decides he needs to know something…
“How are babies made?”
Now our normal response is that the mommy gets pregnant and the [...]
