Jim's Take

My Take on Life and Events

Heroes Come and Go.

I had to drive to Philadelphia today to pick something up, and while channel surfing, I came across David Bowie’s “Heroes”. And it made me a bit nostalgic of my past heroes.  And as I was driving south on I-95 through Philadelphia, I recalled something that happened to a cousin of mine. I’ve had a … Continue reading Heroes Come and Go. →

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. →

Catch Phrase

Chik-Fil-A has one, “My pleasure”.  I like it.  It’s cutesy and courteous. But not many other places do. Lisa and I went to one of our favorite places tonight, Nicolas. While I’m happy they moved out of Rehoboth and are now in Lewes, I’m also upset they moved out of Rehoboth and are now in … Continue reading Catch Phrase →

It’s Been a While

Sorry, I’ve been swamped. I’ve been a bit overwhelmed with work lately, I haven’t had time for much else. Plus, I’ve been a bit tired (from the stuff that has overwhelmed me) and I don’t have the creative juices flowing when I get too tired. However, I do have a few things to write down. … Continue reading It’s Been a While →

The Olympics are quickly approaching.

YEAH !!! Yes – I love The Olympics. Not as much as I used to, having kids does limit how much one can watch the Olympics, but I still am an Olympic enthusiast. However, if you are a fan of Olympic Baseball and/or Olympic Softball then you are out of luck. That’s because the 2024 … Continue reading The Olympics are quickly approaching. →

Small Things

Why can’t we be as nice to each other as complete and total strangers as we are when holding open doors for each other at a convenience store? No, seriously. Hate and anger is so prevalent these days, but when you see a total stranger exiting a WaWa or a RoFo with a try of … Continue reading Small Things →

I Like to Read.

And as we get ready to go to Florida and a trip to Disney, I’m looking forward to maybe (MAYBE) going to the Hall of Presidents. I don’t know how many times I’ve been to Disney and The Magic Kingdom, yet, I’ve not done this attraction. I couldn’t bring myself to put my daughter’s through … Continue reading I Like to Read. →

All This Time

Sometimes I get a bit busy. Sometimes I literally need to be two places at the same time doing two different things. Jeez…… My wife and I will often say to each other, “We’re too busy to be this broke”. You know what I mean? But I did it. I found a way to actually … Continue reading All This Time →

It’s a Sign.

I like traveling. Seriously – who doesn’t? I like flying but I also like driving. Kate turns 19 and it’s her 1st birthday away from us and it’s weird. So off we go.  Lisa and Charlotte left earlier than I because I had pickup trouble. A few hours behind and now I’m driving to Savannah. … Continue reading It’s a Sign. →
