Happy Halloween 2009

Halloween is always a fun night on our street and this year was no exception. We even managed to hit another street other than our own! Both kids practically RAN from house to house, however once Ava’s bag started getting heavy, she slowed down a bit. Here are some photos from the night’s activities. And [...]
In My Lifetime…My Mom
Posted in Family Affair, In My Lifetime, My Life, tagged Mom on October 30, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Is there anyone more influential in a child’s life than his mother? I think not. And that definitely holds true for me also. A little over 41 years ago, my Mom & Dad adopted me from an adoption agency (no…I wasn’t delivered by raccoon) and I would like to believe that my parents have never [...]
The Local Enigma

In the small town where I live, there is a man who I have never been able to talk to. He’s an older gentleman and I see him frequently walking the sidewalks of our town. He sometimes has a cane. Sometimes he carries a backpack. But no matter when I see him, he ALWAYS has [...]

Getting up in the morning is hard enough, let alone dealing with my 5-year old. As good as she is, she is a pain in the rump to wake up in the morning. And it is usually my responsibility to drag her (literally) out of bed and get her downstairs. Here is a sequence of [...]

You know what I find interesting? Life. Life is interesting. And the reason it’s so interesting is because it can change on a dime. I don’t know about you, but MY life seems to change every single second. My mood swings change, my attitude changes, my outlook changes. Everything hinges on each & every little [...]

A Long Season Ends
The past couple of days, we sat through gorgeous fall temperatures to watch Christopher play in his final 2 football games of the season. The first round his team didn’t play very well and they lost, so the next day they played for 3rd place in their league. They ended up winning [...]

Christopher had his last practice of the season last Thursday. It has been a long season and he has learned so much from his coaches and the other kids on his team. I can’t remember a time when he has been so into sports. He has been playing sports since he was 3, but this [...]

I KNOW my zombie movies and this guy is NOT in “Night of the Living Dead”
In Entertainment Weekly this week there is a big article counting down from A to Z all you could ever want to know about zombie flicks. My wife was paging through it last night and we got into a discussion [...]

It took me a while to warm up to Baltimore. For the longest time I found myself there in the winter months when it’s cold and overcast. But through the years, it has slowly warmed up to me and now I have several reasons to enjoy my visits there…with the most obvious being the crabcakes! [...]
A Tough Decision To Make

Way back in 1995, I went to my local animal shelter in search for a cat. I figured having a kitten around would make life al that more exciting. So off I went. While searching, I came across 2 grey kittens in a cage. The one mewed and purred at me, and as I pulled [...]

I take no responsibility for any fuzziness or spot shadows because my brother has a new photo organizer that allows him to play with sepia tones and soft focus and he has taken to adding special effects to EVERY picture!

Funny…I don’t look anything like Dick Clark…
I remember there was a time when I laughed heartily (I like the word “heartily” but who EVER uses it in a spoken sentence? Not me.) at my best friend for a haircut that he got that just looked ridiculous. He had gone to some cheapo stylist and gotten [...]
