Read MoreWe Need a Better System!
I have a to do list. I think there is quite a bit of stuff on it too. I’d post a picture of it, but finding my to do list is the first item on my new to do list. Funny thing about lists, we spend a decent amount of time putting them together, but…

This week I’m mixing things up a bit. One quick story and then something cool. The Story I had the opportunity to have a catch with my oldest on Saturday. It’s been a while since we threw the ball around, and it was a perfect Autumn day for it. We talked a little about stuff,…

Read MoreThe Prodigal Son Returns
A lot has happened since my last blog entry. I must apologize for taking a mini sabbatical, but life and such does sometimes get in the way. In 1981 Styx said “I’ve got too much time on my hands”. They obviously didn’t have 2 small children starting their school year at the time. Not to…

Read MoreOn Backbone (In a Good Way)

If you’ve been following the blog, you should know that my younger son, The Little One, sees the world differently than the rest of the family. We try to reach out to him in all different kinds of ways, music, art, games, and of course, books. One of my favorites to read with him is…
Read MoreNow, For Something Completely Different.

One of my all-time favorite movies received the following reviews: Entertainment Weekly gave it an F and had this to say. The…
