Love Shack Photos


Blog

I thought about it this morning, I should have posted some photos of the Love Shack. These photos are from earlier this summer, before we took the wall out and put up a new one. The Love Shack is where the magic happened back in the day. If I grew up in the 70s in […]

Weekend building is done for the year


Blog

Helped my dad this weekend for what is probably the last time this year. Outside at least. There will probably be smaller projects here and there but no more big ones are planned, like building the new deck. This weekend, we tore off one side of the garage because the boards were rotting out. After […]

Social Media Pokémon Exchange


Blog

This might be the best exchange I’ve had on social media to date. Sometimes, my mom is just hip to the references. Or rather she’s quick to jump on the Pokémon references.   For what it’s worth, I’ve been on a Pokémon playing binge lately. A friend of mine and I are training teams so […]

Worst Fans in the World Come from Wisconsin


Blog

When you think of Wisconsin, what do you think of? Cheese? Cows? Beer? Lake Michigan? Maybe the yooper accent which is quaint sounding but really limited to a small part of the population? What about the Green Bay Packers? I bet a lot of people have this idea that people from Wisconsin are really nice […]

Becoming a Godfather


Blog

When my first niece was born in March, I was more than delighted to learn that my sister intended to name me as her Godfather. I’ll admit, part of my delight came from taking up the mantle as head of the family just like Michael Corleone did in The Godfather. The other part of me […]

Washing Dishes Might Have Just Gotten Easier


Blog

It’s no secret that I don’t like washing dishes. Ask my girlfriend. I think I’m great at washing dishes. I know this because I worked for a couple of years in a few different kitchens and I was really good at washing the industrial dishes, like really good. For one of the jobs, that’s all I did […]
