All the warnings. All the hype. All the panic. Almost a week with no school, for a barely even a nor’easter. We’d been hearing all about Hurricane Florence for a week and a half. It was getting strong and big and heading right in our general direction. Admittedly, it was becoming a concern. Would something … Continue reading It Was the End of the World as We Know It – Until it Wasn’t…
Race day is over and it went really good! We’re tired, though, and it’s only 1pm. Here’s our recap: The day started early at 5:30am. I didn’t get much sleep because I stayed up all night watching UVA get pummeled by UMBC in the NCAA Tournament. Even though I only got a little over 4 … Continue reading Medal Time
Tomorrow my family and I are running in the Shamrock 8k. This will be my 5th one, but the first for my wife and daughter. Well, my wife has done a couple Half Marathons before, including the Shamrock, and a bunch of 5k’s, and my daughter has also done a few 5k’s, but his will … Continue reading Racing with Myself
It’s March 12th and it’s snowing outside. The never ending winter has us right in its grip, and it’s getting old. I have such nice memories of going to the CAA Basketball Championships in Richmond every year in early March, back when such a thing still existed, and it was Spring. Spring! That trip usually … Continue reading The Never-ending Winter

With every gust roaring down the street and through our … Continue reading Running from the Blizzard
I want to continue to recap our recent trip to New Orleans, but I’ve been having a hard time getting my thoughts together on the second installment. My mind has been in this fog of pollen induced dreamy existence. I need to get back into more frequent posts, though, so here it goes. Back to … Continue reading Dreamy Craziness
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
March 1st and it was 80 degrees today, but really windy. And big storms coming tonight. March really is coming in like a lion. It’s great, though, because I got to wear shorts to work for the first time in a while – which made it easier on my gym visit. No reason to drag a change of clothes in and visit the locker room. Life is so much better when you can wear shorts and flip flops all the time. Especially in the winter. Continue reading “In Like a Lion”
The panicking has started. The snow monster is coming! Hide, run, buy everything at the grocery store! How will we survive a couple days of being stranded at home?!? WINTER is here… Continue reading “Another Snow Job?”
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…”
