Should we?
Life’s been moving along this summer and the struggle has been on to not have every day be the same – so that the next thing you know the summer is over with nothing memorable happening. So in the first three weeks we’ve been having a summer movie series, a summer book club, been to a concert, gone to the pool, played mini golf, had a friend over for dinner, went for walks at the beach, had 4th of July in Williamsburg, and I replace one of our bathrooms’ floor and toilet. So I guess it’s been an eventful summer so far. The last few days fate decided to take over, though, and throw some memorable curveballs at us in which we had to make a decision. Did we make the right ones? Continue reading “Should we?”
A Lifetime of Music #4
Songs can define big moments in life, and there have been a number of songs that have been there alongside our big moments. From the first concert my wife and I went to when we first were dating, to our Last Dance at our wedding, to the Beautiful Day of taking our daughter home after being born… Continue reading “A Lifetime of Music #4”
Travel Plans
Well, it’s finally here. Summer! A great time to get out of the craziness of everyday life of work and politics and insane people – of bills and yard work and traffic – of the news and the slow move to civil war and the coming complete destruction of everything. And what better way to … Continue reading Travel Plans
The Kid has been Killing it lately…
My daughter has been on a roll lately, and here is my chance to give her some well earned kudos:
- First of all, she is finishing middle school this week with awesome grades. She will be just a little bit short of straight A’s with a B+ in algebra. And this while taking two high school level classes…
- She finished up her first year playing violin last month with the Bay Youth String Orchestra. She had to audition to get into this orchestra, played in three concerts during the year, and went to weekly rehearsals from September – May. It was quite the experience and will start up again in the fall.
And the train keeps rolling…
All the life things are happening – and in some ways happening too fast – while in others – it just seems to drag on forever.
My daughter and wife are out at a solo assessment for my daughter’s school orchestra. It’s where she has to perform for a judge for her year end assessment grade. Continue reading “And the train keeps rolling…”
Memorial Day
My family and I spent this past Memorial Day weekend up in the mountains – hiking, exploring, watching sunsets, and always on the lookout for bears. We even saw one! We had a really good time. Traveling on this weekend has been a little tradition for us for the past 10 years or so. For … Continue reading Memorial Day
It’s been 20 years…
Wow. This week is my wife’s and my 20 year wedding anniversary. It falls on Wednesday the 18th, but, of course, that day was a Saturday 20 years ago. We are taking Wednesday off work and are going to hang out together. Continue reading “It’s been 20 years…”
Greek Festival
I have this memory that sticks in my head. It’s one of those that haunts me and makes me sad, but also somehow at the same time makes me happy. It’s of Rebecca – who used to live next door to us for a few years with her husband and young kids. Continue reading “Greek Festival”
A Life Update
Time for a quick update on things and thoughts.
So I made an appointment with my regular doctor to get my PSA test retaken, but it won’t be for a few weeks. Plus – on that week I’ll have a dentist appointment one day and the lab visit & a trip to the dermatologist on the next day – so lots of doctorish activity all at one time – which is my favorite.
