Think, Laugh, & Cry Each Day
When I was a kid and first started learning how to ride a bike, I kept falling. I got the steering thing down pat. I just couldn't steer with the handlebars and pedal the bike at the same time. I would weave and veer and fall over onto the macadam. I scraped one knee, then... Continue Reading →
My wife and I have marked our calendars. We’ve put a big X mark on the year 2069. She can’t wait. Oh, we’ll probably be long gone, past 100-year-old mark, taking up space in the ground, but we want to be sure that our friends and family celebrate and have a party. What’s the big...

I try to be a glass half-full kind of guy. I wrote last week in my post, Back to Work!, about how my wife broke her hand in December and couldn't wait to get back to work. While that was a frustrating experience for her, I loved having her home with me. As I've mentioned... Continue Reading →
March is finally here. I've always found it to be a strange month. It starts off cold and wintry and then somewhere along the line, the trees start to bud, plants and flowers to pop up out of nowhere, and spring is here before you know it. For the record, Spring 2023 starts on Monday,... Continue Reading →
I watched my boss through his plate glass window office. I had already put in a 12-hour day, I was tired and frustrated.

I’m not talking about a “yea, right laugh” full of sarcasm, I’m talking about a full-blown belly laugh like it was the best... Continue Reading →
When my wife and I were just starting out, we scrimped and saved for our "house fund." When we got the news that my wife was pregnant, we had been trying for a year, we knew that we needed to speed up our efforts and find something more permanent. We searched and soon put the... Continue Reading →
My wife and I are different. If it wasn’t apparent to me before now, it became clearer this week. Yes, she's smarter, kinder, and more loving. She's friendly to everyone she meets. She's beautiful inside and out. Yea, yea, we know about all of those things, while I check none of those boxes, but I'm... Continue Reading →
Sixty years ago today, on February 25, 1963, The Beatles released their first single, Please Please me in the United States. Many have come after them, but few have had the influence of the Beatles. Their music still has a sway and power over people of all ages. I can’t think of a better way... Continue Reading →
