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”
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.

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.

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”
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
My daughter has been on a roll lately, and here is my chance to give her some well earned kudos:
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…”
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
