It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… (Sorry Mr. Dickens) But then again it was. This weekend families gathered to mark similar yet different events. On Saturday, my nephew celebrated his birthday. He has reached his teen years, and is more interested in the presents, food and television then the […]

A few weeks ago, we learned a friend from way back was going to be in the area on his way from Illinois to Florida with his family, so he came by and brought the fam. That in itself was very unusual – after 10 years of friendship and various business associations and partnerships, we

I spent some time at my eldest’s house on the 3rd of July. With my two youngest daughters, and the youngest son-in-law we (and a few others) climbed on the roof to get a better view of Maumee’s Fireworks. It was a wonderful location. A bit far to get the full effect of the detonations,

It was a happy and sad time today. Our show ended and we ended the day tearing down the set. Life outside the theater can begin again. Things can be accomplished, chores done and life again resumes. There are movies to see, books to read, daughters to tend to. From daughters and their new families,
I received an email from my college roomate. It has been 28 years since we graduated from college, and we still try to stay in touch. He was a religion and history major in school with an avid interest in music, theater and comic books. I was a Math/Computer major with an interest in girls

What was that game? The one I liked? I remember what it was about, sort of. No that wasn’t the game, but it was like that one. I think this is it, but I don’t remember that rule. Ok, has that happened to you? No? I guess you don’t play any of the large
