Hockey
Since it is fresh in my mind after watching the Bruins vs Maple Leafs game 7 last night I thought I would write about the beautiful game and what it means in my life. I’ll just set the scene from last night a bit. I was home screaming at the tv. Wife was upstairs because … Continue reading Hockey
Racing Time
You know that feeling when you are playing a game and the hourglass is getting close to emptying to the bottom and you start to hurry and maybe get one more correct answer in before your turn is over?

Enjoy The Middle
A few years ago my brother in law took an internship in San Francisco. It was a CRAZY move by all of us back here on the East Coast.

Serenity Now
A couple years ago, I decided to change my outlook on life wherever possible. I was incredibly negative about almost everything, probably just an awful person to be around.

When you are an 8 year old kid, you want to be 10 to be able to play baseball. When you are 13 you want to be 16 to drive, and 18 you want to be 21 to drink (legally). Then everyone tells you it is all downhill from there. Work till your dead....I don’t … Continue reading Stages
