Bucket List Concert – Garth Brooks

Maybe the first country album I owned was No Fences from Garth Brooks. I can remember camping at Salamonie State park, sitting in the bunk above the couch, reading a Star Wars book, listening to Friends in Low Places, New Way To Fly, Two of a Kind. Before that I wasn’t much of a country […]

Two Weeks In Ohio – Part 2

So after the fishing trip, we planned another get-away to the Buckeye State, and another first for me and the fam… The Ohio Renaissance Festival! We planned the trip on Thursday before going. It was on a whim, since we had tickets from work. A few years ago, I saw an inspirational quote online…Spend your […]

Two weekends in Ohio: Part 1

So a few weeks back we planned a “He-Man Women haters club” fishing trip. It was me, my brother, my dad, and two family friends. Destination, Lake Erie! Target: Perch! Roll call was issued at 4AM! That’s even earlier then I get up for work. We met at my folks house, and loaded up the […]

Two Years? It’s been two years since I have blogged?

OK, to be honest, I got WAY busy with kids, work, soccer, baseball, and a new business the wife and I have started from home. But two years have gone by. Let see… Both kids are in school…Thank God for no more childcare payments for a while. Both played baseball during the summer. Both are […]

A new home…

This is the excerpt for your very first post.

How did I become a "Soccer Dad?"

Fall in Indiana use to mean football…but for this Hoosier dad, it’s all about Soccer. My oldest, Eli just finished up baseball. Second place in the championship, I was proud of our team. But just a week after we hung up the mitt and bat, we got the shin guards and cleats out for the […]

Just trying to help…It’s what I do…

So we all get those scam calls on our cell phones. “You qualify for the government to give you three million dollars!” “A rich lady in South Africa wants to send you a bazillion dollars, all we need is your social security number!” Most of the time you just hang up…not be! I love life. […]

A change for the better!

So with a new year, a lot of people join gyms…and my wife and I are no different. We started in the middle of January. And so far, I have to say, I LOVE IT! I have no dreams of being a body builder, or even running a marathon, but I want to get in […]

Leah is on the move!

So earlier in the week, Leah turn 9 months old. And just days before she did, she started crawling. This is going to mean lots of getting up and down to keep her out of things. Sarah and I were thinking back to when Eli started crawling. He was a really good baby. Not getting […]

Another Trip to Cleveland..

Last year JB, one of my co-workers invited me to a Cleveland Browns game. Since I am a Titan’s fan, I said sure. The Titans took it to Cleveland, and we got a big win. So last week, I asked JB if Cleveland was at home on Sunday. He said they were, and asked if […]
