Gloomy Friday

We’ve made it to another Friday. It’s the working persons favorite day of the week. That is, unless you work one of those 4 day on, 3 day off schedules, then I have no idea what your favorite day of the week is. It’s definitely mine, followed shortly by Saturday. Sunday? Debatable. We’ve been in […]

The Dogs In My Neighborhood

Ever since our middle child moved back home last August, a daily walk with her dog Celeste has become habit. And when I say daily, I mean several walks…daily. They’re good for us, and really good for Celeste. She’s a 60 lb Staffordshire terrier mix, so she’s got lots of energy to burn off. They’re […]

Cemetery Walk, Olivia Rodrigo, and Feeling The Feels

I was still feeling sore today. Not enough to stop me from being active, but enough for my brain to talk me out of being active(damn you, brain.) Still, common sense and the need for some quality sunshine prevailed over ‘Lazy John’ and his whispers of “nah, just go home”. I headed to the Beyer […]

November Walk

Not much to report. After work yesterday I got a 3 mile walk in. I hit up the Chinworth Bridge Trail, which is just a couple minutes from work, and took a very windy walk. The temps are bouncing up and down here, so the wind is to be expected I suppose. It was in […]

Weekend Update : Indy, Books, Walks, Yard Work, Oh My!

It was a pretty decent weekend. Thursday night the wife and I drove our 20-year old to the Indianapolis airport. She had a 9pm flight from Indy to Newark, NJ. From Newark she took a cab to Manhattan where she spent the weekend with her best friend. A trip long overdue and one very sorely […]

A Weekend In Photos

It was the perfect fall weekend. Despite Friday getting near 80 degrees and me turning the A/C on after work because the house was near 75 degrees inside(neighbors were burning so I had to close all the windows), by Saturday morning the cold air moved in. It was blue skies, chilled air, and a sense […]

Father’s Day Walk, Big Bird In A Tower, And Appreciating The Little Things Everyday

I slept in till a little after 8 am on Father’s Day. I slept in till a little after 8 am on Saturday as well. It’s kind of out of character for me to sleep in that late. Usually 7:30 am is the latest I’ll sleep in before either the sun fills our bedroom with […]

Graduation, Walks, Records…

Last Friday night my wife, myself, both of our daughters, and my son’s girlfriend sat in the bleachers of the WCHS football field and watched as the boy shook hands with people we don’t know and received his diploma. Despite the near 90 degree heat we were relatively comfortable, our backs to the west as […]

Lockdown Memories : Favorite Moments of 2020

Despite this year being what it was, there were little pockets of normalcy. Even enjoyment, if I may be so bold. There was plenty of anxiety, panic, confusion, and even desperation at the beginning. “Do we have to wipe everything down from the grocery store? Like set up a table in the garage and assembly […]
