I was at the park this evening with my two older boys and I took a walk around. There was a group practicing soccer. There was another group playing basketball. There was a third playing softball and yet and fourth practicing cricket. These groups were made up of young and old people. Black and white people. Males and females. The were all there… and it got me to thinking. This is the America I’m proud … Continue reading
Apologies in advance for a sappy post. You’ve been warned. If you know anything about me you know that my family is the most important thing in the world to me. I don’t blog about family stuff all that much these days partially because I’m a bad blogger and partially for privacy and security reasons for my kids. I’ve got three boys who mean everything to me. I’ve got a Wife who is so far … Continue reading
As has become my tradition (at least since my 35th birthday) I wanted to take a few minutes to sit down with my computer and put some thoughts together. If you’re interested at all, you can look back at the last couple of years worth of babbling: Thoughts At 35 Thoughts At 36 Thoughts At 37 38 And Counting (My Blessings) So, I’m another year older and I suppose another year wiser. I’m certainly another … Continue reading
I’m sitting here at Panera on a Saturday morning as is my normal routine, working on stuff for clients, catching up on email, etc. What’s a little abnormal is that it’s my 38th birthday. And while I’ve got a HUGE list of stuff to get done, I’ve got to take a minute to put some thoughts down here on the blog. I started this “tradition” when I turned 35 and I’ve continued it with Thoughts At … Continue reading
I saw this float across one of my social media timelines the other day and I feel compelled to share it. Apologies to who originally shared it… I can’t for the life of me remember and I’d love to give you credit I’m sharing it because it’s got a great message and I wanted to make sure that message gets heard. I also wanted to have it available to me at a moments notice (via … Continue reading
Not sure how it happened, but we’re through July and as I flip the calendar I realize it’s once again August 2nd, and I’ve turned another year older. Sadly… the immortality pill hasn’t been discovered in this past year :). I’m absolutely floored by the number of folks that have taken time out of their day to drop me a note on Facebook, Twitter, text, etc. to wish me a happy birthday – thanks you … Continue reading
I’m several weeks late on this post, but I wanted to make sure that I put a recap post together from Pip’s yearly trip to Cleveland. Unlike recent years we actually had some semblance of an agenda that we miraculously managed to stick to! I find that as the years go on I tend to look back on these posts more and more. I’d like to say its because I want to look back at … Continue reading
Ran across this beauty the other day and just had to add it to the blog for Beer Shots. I’m a HUGE fan of Yuengling Lager and during last year’s family clam bake it was my beer of choice. I’m happy to say that after some scheduling issues, we’ve got a date for this year’s get together in late June. Can’t wait!
There’s a bunch of stuff going on in the world and in my personal life right now. My heart goes out to those affected by the bombings at the Boston Marathon yesterday. During these times I often turn to music to get me through. Today my iPod shuffled to an outstanding song called Kama by Sammy Hagar which I just had to share. Per Sammy, the word “Kama” is the Sanskrit translation for “love”. He wrote the … Continue reading
As I said in a previous post I had a couple of things happen recently that were less then stellar from a customer service perspective. Unfortunately this one took place at my favorite airport in the world Akron Canton (CAK). Thankfully, it had really nothing to do with the airport, and everything to do with poor customer service from AirTran Airways. The family and I recently went on what has become our yearly trip to Naples, … Continue reading
