Over this past weekend, my kids (ages 6 & 3) didn’t quite make it to bed at their normal bedtime. Usually, they are in bed and ready for sleep by 8:30. This past weekend, because our friends were in town, they were in bed at 11pm on Friday and then a little after midnight on Saturday. [...]

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 [...]

Being an adult male, you would think that I would have grown out of my insecurities of using the word “love”. I’m married, have kids and a family that I love very much. However, for some reason, I feel strange telling my in-laws that I love them and I don’t know why.
Every time I talk [...]

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 [...]

This morning I was out tossing the ball with Christopher. Back and forth, back and forth. One got away from me and after I went to retrieve it, Christopher told me about a game that he just made up while I was fetching the ball. It goes something like this (as told by Christopher, my [...]

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 [...]

Dude..I feel your pain…
As just about anyone in my family will tell you…I am the worst handyman husband in the entire world. As much as I want to be able to make repairs to the concrete on our house or replace a sump pump or rewire our electric box or even change a light bulb, I kinda [...]

This is a shout out to my sister Mandy, who loves to check out my blog site A LOT every day. If it weren’t for you, sis, I might have hung this up a long time ago!
Love ya!

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. [...]
