Can You Do It? Yes You Can!

On July 10, 2022 (yesterday as I’m writing this article), I ran my first race in which I had to pay to participate in. It wasn’t actually my idea. I have two older brothers who wanted to do it and they asked if I wanted in. Now, there was now…

Party Crasher

The day started out like any other. I was working in the garage, the kids were playing in the yard, and my wife was in the house working on her business. It was summer and everything seemed alright. For a time. That feeling ended when we called the kids in…

I’m Going to Miss These Days? So Far, that’s a “No.”

This past Halloween, I did something I haven’t done in 14 years: I stayed home. My oldest son took the younger kids Trick or Treating while I hung out at the house and passed out candy. …

What I’ve Learned By My 19th Wedding Anniversary

This June will make it 19 years since I conned a pretty woman into marrying me. While that may not be long compared to some couples (like my parents who have been married for 40+ years), it’s nearly half my life span. I’d like to think I’ve learned a few…
