From Driving to Rhode Island to both driving and flying to Florida several times a year, and also driving to Nashville, TN and Savannah, GA - we love to be somewhere. Many trips … Continue reading Every Role is Important

Mad Skills
Cooking is a skill. But it’s more than just a skill. It’s both a skill and an art – not easily appreciated every time by every person. Sushi is a great example. Those that like sushi most likely have their favorite sushi restaurant. *Side Note 1 – I have 2: In Rehoboth Beach, DE … Continue reading Mad Skills
“Twas the Night Before Christmas Break Ended……
T’was the night before Christmas Break was over, and all through our place, The kids were going full speed, as if in some sort of sugar-induced race. Their school bags were packed and by the door with the greatest of care, Mom and dad praying that soon the morning would be here…. __________ The Children … Continue reading “Twas the Night Before Christmas Break Ended……
Firsts
It’s quite a feat to be the 1st to do something, to be remembered as the first to do something. It is something that can’t be erased. Being the 1st to do something, can’t be taken away. If it’s a sports accomplishment, perhaps a record (as in my 1st’s list #2 below), then that record … Continue reading Firsts
You Have Got To Be Kidding Me
Okay – not a full on melt down – but close. Very close. Our dear friends the Scotts, got us (well, me, but I do share) a hot dog cooker for Christmas. They dropped it off on Christmas Eve about maybe 9:00pm. Not a little version – nope – they went all out – a … Continue reading You Have Got To Be Kidding Me
Ah…. The Joys of Christmas

Perhaps they feel it is lying to them and lying is wrong. Or perhaps they feel it is taking away the true meaning of Christmas which is celebrating the Birth of … Continue reading Ah…. The Joys of Christmas

Facing Your Fear
Fear is a terrible thing to waste. Oh wait, that’s time. But what is “Fear”? According to my google machine, fear is “an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat”. Now we know what fear is. *Side Note 1 – don’t you … Continue reading Facing Your Fear
1978
I heard a story recently while listening to the radio and I made a note of it, and I immediately got home and Googled it. *Side Note 1, by immediately I mean several days later. In 1978 The Rolling Stones played in New Orleans. It was July 13 and it was on their Some … Continue reading 1978
Something to Ponder
We got to Florida this week.. It’s odd that we’ve been to Disney so many times in the past 13+ years but we’ve never been there during the Christmas season. We only had a few days, so it made sense to fly instead of driving. But flying means 1 big thing – no Buc-ee’s in … Continue reading Something to Ponder
