Back In Business

Hello everyone. It’s been a minute since we talked. It’s actually been one whole week. That’s the longest I’ve gone without posting in a very long time. I’ve been on vacation. Had Thanksgiving and the Friday after off, then took all of the following week off. It was a full week for sure, filled with […]

Long Weekend, Under The Weather, Sad Dad Blues

Decided at the beginning of last week that I was going to treat myself to a four-day weekend. Work hasn’t been very busy, so it seemed like an opportune time to take a Thursday and Friday off and give my brain a break from the 9 to 5. I’d been itching to dig into some […]

It’s Time To Move On…It’s Time To Get Going

It’s feeling better around here. Things are starting to settle into our new normal and it feels good. There’s still things that need to be done, like painting and installing a cabinet in the main bath so our daughter can store all of her hair and make-up products. The spare room downstairs needs some shelving […]

Work Space

Man, it’s been a very long time since I’ve had a solid work space at home. I’ve had several spots over the course of the last few years, but nothing that didn’t require moving this or that around in order to make things in that one space. My old spot, since before we had kids, […]

“I’m Going Through Changes”

It’s been a weird year so far. No big vacations, no big events like graduations, and nothing standing out as monumental. It’s been quiet, but not in a peaceful sort of way. The last two months have been dominated by health issues our daughter’s been dealing with, and the last two weeks were by far […]

Monday Check-In, 3/10/25 : Spring Preview, New(Old) Jazz, Under The Weather

Hello all. Monday has returned in record-breaking speed. Maybe the fastest Monday turnaround yet. I’m trying to decide if Monday arrived quicker back in school, or as an adult. I’m leaning towards adult. When you were in elementary school, or even middle and high school there were some weekends where it seemed to drag on […]

Been A Minute…

Hey all. Sorry for the absence. It’s that time of year where I put in some vacation time and unplug, spending my time off recording music, painting, watching movies, and spinning records. Also, just attempting to rid my brain of all the toxic waste that’s left in my head thanks to working for a giant […]

Really Feeling Time Pass Lately

I’ve really been feeling that creaking of time. How it slips through the cracks, slips out the window in the middle of the night, and generally leaves without saying goodbye. One minute I was kind of struggling to stay afloat with three little kids in the evenings while my wife worked second shift; cooking, cleaning, […]

“All The Children Are Scattered”

Been feeling everything a little heavy lately. It was a nice four-day weekend, albeit we skipped out on that Van Hagar concert Friday night. My wife and I decided that neither of us wanted to stand in a field at 93 degrees for three to four hours, so we opted to just pick up our […]

Gone To The Dogs

It was another decent weekend. Weather wasn’t all that great, as by Saturday afternoon it clouded up and started raining, but overall I was with people I wanted to be with and that’s the most important part. Thursday after work I hit the roof and yard. Living in a pine tree forest we get the […]
