In the summer of 2006, I was working with a youth group and took them to Cleveland for  a work trip. During that week, we worked with Habitat for Humanity, served in a homeless shelter and lived in "intentional community". (That means we gave up junk food, sodas and flip phones, saving parents roughly $300 … Continue reading Cleveland ROCKS! →

This is not a post about Kenny.  It's a post about Alice, and her restaurant. Not really. *** My dad was not a funny man. I take that back.  He was not funny when he tried to be.  He was not the guy at the party who would hold court, telling stories and jokes, everyone … Continue reading You Picked a Fine Time… →

So, I love my doctor. The guy is great.  I've seen him pretty much since we moved to Georgia, and I love the guy. Calls it like he sees it and has a great sense of humor. (Or at least my kind of humor.) Example: For whatever reason, I have a really low resting heart … Continue reading I’m not a doctor, but … →

I wrote last week about turning 50, about being grateful for what's behind me and looking forward to what's in front of me.  There is a lot I am looking forward to, but today, I am thinking of one date in particular. June 6, 2023. I can't wait for June 6, 2023. What's so special … Continue reading Looking Ahead →

20 years ago, the most beautiful set of blue eyes I have ever seen said to me, "I do".  Since then, wherever we have been, as long as I've been able to look into those eyes, I have been home.  We have added three more sets of those eyes over the years, and anywhere I've … Continue reading Home →

Last week I wrote about Roger Staubach and visiting the NFL Hall of Fame.  The event was amazing, and I felt like a kid again walking through the museum. As I mentioned I grew up a Steelers fan and was eight years old again when I saw the bust of Mean Joe Greene.  How I … Continue reading Hall of Fame and Heroes →

I have been a Pittsburgh Steelers fan all my life.  (I thank God, Dave, and Peggy for that.)  Growing up a Steelers fan in the 1970's meant we basically had a singular enemy, the Dallas Cowboys. America's team, my a%%!  Now, my parents were two of the kindest people I ever knew, but they had nothing, … Continue reading Steelers and Staubach →
