Typical Weekend
Pretty busy weekend for us as we started out having dinner with family to celebrate my uncle’s birthday on Friday night. We went to Frankie’s, a local rib place. I love me some good BBQ. Then on Saturday, I got up early to meet my Dad at our house to do some yard work. We…

You choo-choo-choose me?
I finally got my train up and running, after years of sitting in a broken-down box, season after season tucked away in an attic. I tried to get it working a couple of weeks ago. There engine would run, but the gears wouldn’t turn, so I dropped it off at a local train store to…

I Don’t Care If I Ever Come Back
We’re heading to a minor league baseball game tonight. I’ve been to a few Tides games in my life, but I haven’t been to one in quite a few years. Harbor Park is a really nice place to see a ball game…too bad Norfolk doesn’t stand a chance to get a major league franchise. Monica’s…

When I am not around….
I left for Chicago last Thursday a little apprehensive as to what might happen at one of our most hectic meetings of the year. Although, the meeting was in fact really hectic and tiresome, I cannot believe everything that happened to everyone I know while I was away. As soon as I get to Chicago,…

We interrupt this program…
Well, my weekend of home aloneness came to a screeching halt before it began. I received a call on Thursday evening that my Dad was in the hospital, and my mind frantically began thinking of what could have happened. It turns out that during a visit for one minor problem, a smart doctor detected a…

Philly Trip
We went up to Philadelphia on Saturday to visit some of Monica’s family: her uncle and his wife, her cousin and his wife and son, her second cousin, as well as her mom and brother. It was a good visit as Monica hadn’t seen some of them in years, and they were meeting me for…
