Just an add-on to my list of things you should not do. #6 – when you are finished with your at home breakfast of pancakes and sausage and you have left over syrup, DO NOT try to put it back into the syrup container. It makes a mess. You’re welcome

It’s A Mystery
As I made my breakfast this morning I had to take a second to ponder a thought. Well, it was actually more than a second – I stood there in deep thought. See, there are many questions that we’ll just never answer. What came first, the chicken or the egg? What is Heaven like? These … Continue reading It’s A Mystery
My Partner In Crime.
Charlotte, or as Lisa likes to often refer to her as, “Jim Jr.”, is literally my partner in crime. No – we are not Bonnie and Clyde going on a murderous rampage – but we do go out and have fun. Has anyone reading this heard Arlo Guthrie Jr performing “Alice’s Restaurant Massacre”? If not … Continue reading My Partner In Crime.
So ……. (Don’t you hate it when my posts start that way)?
I’m popping popcorn and as I’m watching it spin around, I had a few thoughts. We have one of those countertop popping machines, oh yeah, we fancy here in Sumstine-land. And I’m not sure if I feel badly for that kernel that didn’t pop, or if I admire him. Here’s this little guy - he’s … Continue reading So ……. (Don’t you hate it when my posts start that way)?

Just a test?
The pain was real. The wound was deep. But the scar ….. Was the first bite just a lesson? Or was it an initiation? Did you feel the need to test me? To see if I am worthy? I thought we had something. We had a kinship. We had an understanding. We were brothers? Blood … Continue reading Just a test?
Bad Attitude
“I got a bad attitude about this”. That’s one of our new favorite sayings around the Sumstine house. Lisa’s work husband (who shall remain nameless but most people who know us know who he is) said this about somethings that he was anticipating and he already new he didn’t like what was about to go … Continue reading Bad Attitude
The Early Bird Gets ….
NOTHING !!! It’s 7:02 am on Monday and why am I at my computer instead of working? Well…… I pride myself on never being late. Lisa too. One thing we have tried to instill upon our daughters is to never be late. It’s a trait we consider rude. It means you think your time is … Continue reading The Early Bird Gets ….
It’s All My Fault.
Yes – I admit, it’s all my fault. See, I have a few character flaws. *Side Note 1 – I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, “No – that’s just not true. You seem so well balanced and while not perfect, as close as one person might be.” But no, I have a few … Continue reading It’s All My Fault.
It Has Happened.
IT. HAS. HAPPENED. What has it been, 6 months? 7? Has it been that long? But it has happened. My Super Hero Powers have manifested. I was beginning to doubt myself. I know, I know …. You were also beginning to doubt me. But no. It happened. But now it is time to make decisions. … Continue reading It Has Happened.
