My first thought was about the Saturday evenings I spend with my oldest daughter, her husband, and a few friends. For the past few months, we spend Saturday being superheroes. A fun little role playing game based on Marvel […]

If you’ve been reading my blog lately, then you know that I was away last week camping with my family – my husband, 4 kids (ages 9, 5, 2, and almost 1), and 2 dogs. Camping for the entire week with 4 little kids has its ups and downs; mostly ups. But one of the
No, Sci-Fi channel (or should I say SyFy?) didn’t renew Stan Lee’s reality show for a third season. But apparently 106 5th and 6th grade students in Berwick, Maine wanted to be superheroes. Or at least dress up as them. After a university in the UK set a Guinness record of the most people in

Many people know that I really enjoy my coffee. My dear wife and I used to frequent a local coffee establishment until her death. During the many years of enjoying the coffee and company, I found that I know a thing or two about a good cup of joe. I was sad on the day
On Tuesday I was on my way to a job and had to choose a route to take. One of the routes, the one I didn’t pick, was blocked with police tape and vehicles, which I found out when I passed it taking the other route. Like accidents and such I pass from time to

… happened just the other night. It’s really frightening and a huge reality check to know that you could be sitting somewhere (camping and enjoying the beautiful outdoors in my case), totally relaxed, and the very next minute, there is a life or death emergency – literally. Before you fret, let me disclaim that everyone
