I know this is silly, and probably has already been discussed too much, but the reason for this page was to share (and document?) my random and wandering thoughts. So… This weekend I was returning from a visit to the grocery store that is less than a mile from our house. I was in a…
My Day (or two) As A Mom
I think I have written here before that when Jen has babies, I take a week or, last time, two off to take care of the other kids while she can focus completely on the baby. And of course, I take care of her too. 🙂 So, I am no stranger to being the “Mom”…
NFL Playoffs Start With A Bang!
I have really just one favorite team in the NFL. It’s the Bills. Really I’m not even much of an NFL fan besides any game that directly impacts the Bills. However. I do have two other teams that I would say I almost always root for. And one was playing tonight. First are the Bills….
National Hot Tea Month
I learned from my wife last night that January is national hot tea month. Now, I am known to have a cup or two a day… I am a fan of many kinds. (Big Train Chai is another favorite drink!) But with it being National Tea Month and all… I suppose I shall have to…
Cinderella
A friend of ours can’t stop talking about this song, and I have to agree with her. As with most all of his songs, Steven Curtis Chapman is simply a great word craftsman. We listened to it New Year’s Eve and it had Jen crying while holding Kirstie. (Which I think confused Kirstie, cause you’re…
Don’t Go To Church?
I know I said I was trying to get away from ending titles with question marks, but perhaps it says something about where I am in life at the moment. Maybe as I begin the trek toward middle age (or, am I already there?) I am beginning to realize I have more questions than answers….
Mister(s) President(s)
I almost put a question mark at the end of that title, but used my superhuman will power to resist the temptation. (Really. It was very tough! Not sure why I’ve been on a question-in-the-title kick of late.) 🙂 I was watching NBC’s Meet The Press this week (Via podcast, of course. I don’t really…
State Of The Union?
In a somewhat surprising move, the NFL decided to allow CBS and NBC to simulcast the Patriots vs Giants game that was scheduled to be broadcast on the NFL Network this Saturday night. The NFL is not known for its generosity, but the NFL Network is in such a small percentage of homes, and this…
A Wet Christmas?
I thought the song said White Christmas…. We did get a lot of the white stuff for the whole month of December. Probably the first three weeks straight. OVer a foot of the good stuff. I think I heard that we’ve gotten around 38 inches so far! BUT… for one week before Christmas we had…
In The New Year?
It’s nearing the end of another calendar year, and this is the time everyone thinks of “new year’s resolutions.” Perhaps I am no exception. They are not really “resolutions” necessarily, but here are some things I am hoping I will have/make more time for in the very near future. Read books, especially the gospels. Want…
