We Bought a Zoo

One of my favorite movies in the last few years was a movie with Matt Damon and Scarlet Johansson called We Bought A Zoo.  I know, if you saw it you probably thought it was ok, or just, whatever... But for me, I don't know, it just hit me differently.  It has a bit of everything,... Continue Reading →

Valentine

Valentine's Day was incredibly perfect this year, and I saw my wife for maybe 15 minutes total.  We worked all day, and by the time the wife and kids and I all got home my oldest daughter and I had a date.  See, we watch Survivor together.  If you read my blog it's probably been...

Better Than Ezra

My youngest daughters favorite song right now is Fast Car by Tracie Chapman.  If we go anywhere that takes more than 5 minutes to get to that song will always be played.  I wonder if she knows that song was played about 40 times in a car that was driven way too fast by a... Continue Reading →

2 AM

The official passing of the torch occurred last night.  It wasn't when I would wake up in pain from nothing more than sleeping, it wasn't that I now actually get cold in the winter time, or the fact that in less than a month I can put a 4 in front of my age.  It was... Continue Reading →

50

My daughter sent me this quote the other day.  "Forty-three years old, and the war occurred half a lifetime ago, and yet the remembering makes it now.  And sometimes remembering will lead to a story, which makes it forever.  That's what stories are for.  Stories are for joining the past to the future.  Stories are...

On a Farm

I've been listening to this song recently about a guy who stumbled onto something he was good at.  He never knew he was good at it, and was only doing it for fun.  He started to get a little money or publicity from it, but the guys who had done what he was doing their... Continue Reading →

10 Minutes

We NEVER get to sit and have a family dinner with just us.  Just myself, my wife and our two daughters.  Everyone is always so busy.  My wife never stops moving.  Going from work at one job to the next or meeting with my daughters cheer gym as she is one of the "team moms"... Continue Reading →

Dead

One of my high school teachers passed away the other day and it caught me off guard a bit.  I know people get old and die, and I know that I went to high school over 20 years ago, so death isn't shocking or anything.  But, this teacher had an impact on me.  I was... Continue Reading →
