So if I leave home in the morning to get to work on time I hit a bunch of traffic. I have to go right past the middle school when all their busses are leaving which blocks up the intersection and causes me to have to wait through multiple light cycles. Continue reading “That Dreaded OIC”
So yesterday was an interesting day. It was ODU football gameday and we were in the middle of enjoying a warm day of tailgating when a golf cart pulls up to our spot. Inside are ODU Athletic Director Wood Selig and former ODU basketball great Darius James. They asked my wife if this was spot 14 and then asked for me! Continue reading “Monarch Pride and a Visit”
It’s been quite a September for us so far this year in the weather department. A month of storms, rain and flooding. Earlier in the month we had to deal with Tropical Storm Hermine, which dumped almost 5 inches of rain and caused our neighborhood to get flooded. Continue reading “And then the floods came…”
After a long wait I finally got my prostate biopsy results. Negative for cancer! Finally, some good news… Continue reading “Finally, Some Good News”
Well, here it is – the end of the summer. And tomorrow starts the first day of high school for my daughter. High school. She’s understandably nervous. We’re nervous, too. She has a lot to look forward to, though. Continue reading “It’s the End of the Line – and a New Beginning”
Yesterday I finally went in for my long dreaded prostate biopsy. It’s something I have thought about as a possibility for many years and has been weighing largely on my shoulders for a good part of this year. Continue reading “Not High of the List of Fun Days”
How can life feel like it has lost all it’s meaning while at the same time be so emotional? How can you sometimes feel so hopeless and lost, but yet plan for the future? How does one worry about the lawn or money or work or the dog barking next door when everything could be snatched away in an instant? Like it has for people we used to know. How do we go on knowing it will happen to us too? And why and how, if life is so fragile, have we made it this far? All the big questions to keep us up at night – and to write songs about – and to listen to songs about. So while the World Spins Madly On for, hopefully, our 100 Years, let’s do our best to Float On. Continue reading “A Lifetime of Music #5”
Things have been busy since we have been back from vacation. Work has been crazy, because I had a lot of catching up to do and I needed to meet some deadlines. The weather has been hot and I’ve been dealing with some kind of something – allergies? I don’t know. It feels like it’s been going on all summer – kind of an asthma thingy, being tired, achy – that kind of thing. Anyway, stuff has been happening, so let’s do an update. Continue reading “Life Keeps Updating”
We’ve been on vacation! We are a little over a week into our time on the Jersey Shore hanging out at our family’s cottage in Ocean City, NJ. Continue reading “Summer Travels and Family Hanging”
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?”
