It is 3:56 PM on Tuesday, June 4th. This is the last week of school for my oldest and he has started bringing his classroom items home. This was always such a magical time of year for me when I was a kid. The weather became very nice, the pool opened and those final days…… Continue reading Journal Entry 4.4.19

42 Years Old
Today I am officially 42 years old. There doesn’t seem to be any difference physically or mentally with being 41 but I guess I’ve got a year for the verdict to come in. I have been paying more attention to what my body is telling me as I get older. I’ll always remember my Dad…… Continue reading 42 Years Old

It is just after noon on Friday, May 24th 2019. This weekend is my birthday and while I have a few spare moments I wanted to get a post in while I’m still 41 years old.

Coming from San Francisco there weren’t any direct flights where we would make it to the 1:00 start on time so us West Coasters flew in yesterday afternoon. I’ve been to Tennessee once in my life and that was…… Continue reading Nashville Tennessee

This is what I’m used to doing ever since kindergarten so I’ve just continued doing it. I like being with…… Continue reading The Non-Greeting
