Two big wins last night with the Varsity Girls winning 15-11 and the Boys with a shutout 18-0, with a whopping 13 different players scoring goals! 2 and 3 both played well, but an extra shout out to Number 3, who started her first Varsity game. Now it is time for some rest

We are back! Back to posting, after a short derailment from a snowstorm and work, but more importantly, back home with the family. Overall, not a bad work trip, almost got a chance to see history. There is a lot going on in the world, but for today, for here, I am going to

Big day yesterday for the household. Number 2 made the varsity lacrosse team! While that was not exactly a surprise, the fact that we found out that not only did he make it, but Number 3 did too! Varsity as a freshman is kinda a big deal. Congratulations to you both. Not

Normally, I don’t think much about the passing of famous folks. I don’t really run in those circles, so I guess it should be expected. But with the passing of Robert Duvall, I am reminded of a time when I was a child. My timeline might be a little off here, but I

I don’t think that I am that different in that, like most dudes, I like to solve problems. I don’t necessarily go out of my way to find problems to solve, but there is a level of satisfaction that is achieved by being confronted with a challenge and working
