I haven’t written anything in a while. There have been so many major things happening and I just haven’t felt like putting in the work. Being an accountant, though, I get all queasy knowing that I spent the money for a year of blogging software that I’m not using. I know no-one ever really reads … Continue reading Whims
Things have been happening lately, and regardless of how we try to slow it down – it just keeps coming. Like Ben Folds once said in a song, life barrels on like a runaway train. We’ve had some milestones recently in our family, and quite few more coming. It’s enough to take your breath away. So, to … Continue reading Milestones
I have always had real good eyes. Over the years while both my parents needed glasses and my brother and my wife – and now even my daughter, I had been spared. Until recently. The troubles began over the past few years. The normal stuff of growing older where I was needing to hold things … Continue reading A Whole New View
I had quite the adventure yesterday. Let’s just say that I have a very good understanding of how the plumbing in a shower and bathtub work now. We had a drip in our daughter’s bathroom. Also, the water control handle was messed up because it wouldn’t stop where it should. You would turn it and … Continue reading The Big Drip
I haven’t been keeping up this blogging thing like I planned. Part of the problem is that during the summer I don’t have hardly any alone time to think and write these things.

The kid finally got her ears pierced! She has always been set against getting them done. We would ask and hint and … Continue reading A Milestone Weekend
In a couple days it will be me and my wife’s anniversary. We try to give each other gifts each year that align with the traditional or modern anniversary gift list. Last year the item was china. I gave her these large asian noodle bowls made of china and she gave me a rose bush … Continue reading A Full Time Job
The kid got the results of her recent orchestra seating audition and they were pretty good. She moved up 9 chairs to 9th chair in violin 1 for the final concert of the season. We were all pretty excited because she had been working hard to improve on her last audition results. Now she has … Continue reading Results, Risk, and a Recommendation
It’s here! Spring is finally here. We have a poppy blooming in our garden. The weather is getting warmer. There are bugs flying around. The grass needs to be cut. All the signs that spring must be here. How much longer before we start to hear – ugh, it’s so hot outside. I’ll take it, though. … Continue reading It’s Here
