• Back From Colorado

  December 28, 2013

  We just got back from our Holiday visit to Colorado with the In-Laws and Joan. Overall it was stress free, which was surprising with 5 children under 11 to try and entertain for a week. Christine and I stayed in Susie's room this week as she spent most of the time at her Dad's and…

• Poor Jeep

  November 26, 2013

    My poor Jeep didn't start this morning. It tried, but it didn't turn over. Didn't see that coming. It ran fine last night. Usually, I notice symptoms of something bad coming.    Anyway, I was forced to walk to the train station and get my wife's car so I can get to work. Luc...

• A Good Little Band

  November 24, 2013

    This weekend was mostly uneventful. On Friday, I had planned to take my wife to a leisurely dinner and a movie, but my mother called before my wife got home. She was trying to order one of those personalized wine bottles where they etch your personal message onto the bottle, but was having...

• Trivia Night

  November 20, 2013

     Went to trivia again last night. Unfortunately, it was only Eric and I. Our big weapons didn't have babysitters for their children. While we were there, Eric told me his wife was pregnant, but that it's a secret, so no one else knows yet. I guess that'll make my wife and I the o...

• Changes At Work

  October 21, 2013

     A few months after I started dating Christine we had a company-wide meeting at work. The Senior Vice President of the bank pulled us all together and notified us that our small, tight-knit community bank had been sold. To us this was devastating news. Everyone was afraid for the...

• First Month of Dating

  October 12, 2013

    Christine and I had gotten serious pretty quickly, but it felt so natural. Like it always should have been. I had never been in a relationship that was so easy and neither had she. We were sickeningly cute and lovey dovey from the get go and everyone said it.    Before the first ...

• Our Second “First Date”

  October 4, 2013

    A few days later would be the originally set first date. The plan was to go out for a quick dinner and then catch "The Corpse Bride" at the local movie theater. We laughed and talked the whole time. We were really hitting it off extremely well.   After the movie neither one ...

• “I Walked Into a Door.”

  September 18, 2013

    I know that there is a rule that you aren’t supposed to call someone the day after you get their number and things of that nature, but the day after the BBQ my roommate Melissa had extra tickets to a band called “The New Jazz Project” on Wednesday night.  Christine a...
