Spring is in the Air
May 15, 2011After a week of hitting close to 90 degrees and then dropping into the 40s, today the sun was shining and a great opportunity for some outdoor shots. The family pictures are from Easter.
Spagmare
June 2, 2010Spagmare – def: A nightmare about waiting tables at the Old Spaghetti Factory… usually involving getting overwhelmed with tables and falling behind your orders. For the first time in years I had a spagmare. Last ...
1 2 3 4
April 14, 2010This is my own real life LOST… at least once a week (sometimes multiple times) the numbers 1 2 3 4 appear somewhere. A clock, mileage,license plate, songs, statistics, and so on. I would dismiss ...
Weak Armor
April 14, 2010What I like about the ladybug is that it’s wings appear to be armor… but they’re not really armor. Ladybugs are easy to smash.
Egg Crack-KING
April 2, 2010It was a close finish. Shannon seemed unstoppable at the beginning but was overtaken by Lonni. In the end it came down to three eggs and my egg destroyed the others. I won the traveling ...
Baby Ben
March 20, 2010An old clock from Jill’s side of the family captured on our dining room table. Its name makes me think of Jill’s younger brother.
Bowling B-day
February 8, 2010We went to PINZ (local bowling alley) for their all you can bowl special from 9-midnight. We had a blast and the lanes were treating me well for my birthday. I averaged 208 over 5 ...
Before and After
May 8, 2009This surprised me pretty good this morning at work… a better jolt than a cup of coffee.
Migraines Suck, Chuck
January 26, 2009I got a migraine last night and nearly hurled. The most comfortable position I found was standing against a door frame with my head against the wood. It felt good for some reason. When I ...
Jeans
January 2, 2009When I was a young boy I never wore jeans. I always tried to wear sweatpants. I had a pair of jeans once, but they were way too tight for an active kid like myself. ...
Firsts
December 8, 2008It was a weekend of firsts. On Friday, Jill and I went to see Bolt in 3D. It was the first time either of us had seen a movie in 3D. I’d highly recommend it. ...
Good Morning
October 9, 2008This isn’t an actual picture of what greeted me as I walked out our door this morning, but it’s a accurate representation. Needless to say, I was quite stunned to open the door and find ...
Half Marathon
September 25, 2008In a little less than 12 hours I’ll be running my first ever half-marathon. I raised over $500 in pledges for this and will still take pledges and/or donations if you want… just e-mail me ...
Blown Speakers
September 8, 2008We just had to pay to replace two blown speakers on portable sound systems we have at work. Speakers are blown when someone turns the volume too loud for the speakers to handle. Here’s my ...
The Wonder of the Olympics
August 14, 2008Staying at home over vacation has inevitably led to hours of Olypmics watching. I suspect I am like many other Americans who only watch swimming, gymnastics, diving, and women’s basketball during the Olympics. Somehow the ...
Airports
August 13, 2008Remember the days before 9/11 when you could pass through security and see people off at the gate? I kinda miss those days. Sometimes I would drive to Detroit Metro airport with friends and we ...
Comfort Food
July 2, 2008You don’t hear much about guys having a comfort food. Mostly it seems to be the girls who can escape in the taste of chocolate or ice cream or something. As I type this, I’m ...
Sports Moments
May 7, 2008Thanks to a rain delay I’ve been able to watch the Twins play in Chicago. Carlos Gomez just hit an infield single to complete the cycle. The last Twin to hit for the cycle was ...
What goes around…
March 3, 2008I led worship at a youth group last night and volunteered to participate in a game. It was the same game I happened to make students play years ago at a Fall Retreat. Now I ...
Beth and I
February 14, 2008We went to TGIFridays tonight after church for a birthday dinner for me with our friends. We happened to have two servers because we caught one on the tail end of their shift. When each ...
