We decided as a family not … Continue reading In Case You Didn’t Know – Thanksgiving Edition →

Blessed and Cursed

I am blessed with an Eidetic Memory. But I am cursed with Short Term Memory Loss. It sucks. Or at least I think it does. I’m pretty sure.

Fence

I’ve heard the expression that “A good fence makes good neighbors” and I get it. But I have good neighbors here in Milton, DE and I don’t have a fence between my neighbor and I.

The “21-Second Rule”

You’ve all heard of the 5-Second Rule. You know, the rule that says if you drop a piece of food on the floor, you have 5 seconds to pick it up. Right? But there are several variables: Floor Surfaces – Carpeting depends on when it was last vacuumed. Hardwood floors and/or laminated flooring again depends … Continue reading The “21-Second Rule” →

1 Random Thought today:

Some of my posts tend to be wordy. Picture your life as a shopping cart. You can either be the shopping cart at Walmart with the 1 square wheel – OR – You can be the IKEA shopping cart.

The Ghost of Halloweens Past

I loved being the dad of two little ones. But they are grown up. Okay, maybe not “grown” up, but growing up and they’ve aged out of a lot of things. Like Halloween Trick-or-Treating. I enjoyed that. It was fun seeing them happy and joyful, not a care in the world, except who would get … Continue reading The Ghost of Halloweens Past →
