  • Game on!

    Do you like to compete? Some people do… and some people (I understand) don’t. And it seems as if for those who do like to compete, EVERYTHING is a competition. Heck, I once knew a guy who was so competitive he… Continue reading

  • A Supernatural Stillness

    Oh, the horror of it! Honestly, I’m not sure how I made it through. It was without a doubt the longest 35 minutes of my life. Thankfully though, I am still here to tell the tale. Shaken, but not overcome.… Continue reading

  • Stories and Suitcases

    I’ve always said, if there’s a suitcase, there’s a story. Rosie and I were out on our afternoon walk through the neighborhood today. I tried to coax her onto a little longer route than we normally take, but she wasn’t… Continue reading

  • Daily Lifting

    A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I were doing some landscaping. There were some new bushes to plant, but in order to do so, holes first had to be dug. Normally I don’t mind digging holes… especially if… Continue reading

    Apologies in advance to the comedian who said this originally, because I thought it was really funny. But as much as I would like to give credit where credit is due, I can’t remember your name. Commenting on the popularity… Continue reading

  • Be Like Rosie

    Meet Rosie. Rosie is our nearly eight-month-old Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier. And yes, it is perfectly OK for you to say what you’re thinking right now: she IS, in fact, the cutest dog in the world. Rosie is very high-spirited and… Continue reading
