I know it’s actually Sunday as I post this. Shut up. May has been an absolutely crazy month. As I have mentioned before we have moved out of our hose for the remodel. With a new baby our unpacking and settling in has been quite a bit slower than we would have liked. On top…
August turned 11 last week. Our life has been so busy and hectic I haven’t had time to have a post up in time. Here it is, a week late. Sorry. It’s been a heck of a year. Finishing up 3rd grade and leading into 4th grade the academics really ramped up but you were…
Ranking right up there with “All Time Stupid Decisions” is the one to have our house remodeled to the point where we have to move out of it for 8-10 months immediately after having a baby. Pretty much the whole house had to be packed up and moved. It started a few years ago as…
What a crazy couple of weeks it has been. Hopefully we’ll find some sense of normalcy this week but these last two weeks have been major upheavals, one right after the other. I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to write anything down about what’s going on. And boy has there been a lot….
Hot on the heels of what is arguably my best Music Monday post yet, I offer up another of my”quick and kind of lame” posts. Perhaps the only redeeming thing about this entry is I finally am featuring music more recent than the 1980s. “Everything Is Awesome” is of course the song from The LEGO…

I’ve mentioned this band before, most prominently when ex-front man Charlie Chesterman died last year. A bit of country, a bit of punk, a bit of folk and roots rock, maybe a little rockabilly – Scruffy The Cat was a little hard to define. That might be way “alternative” radio at the time never got…
A couple of great events happened over the last week, so let’s jump into it. First off, no, the baby hasn’t arrived, but here’s Laura at 9+ months, ready for the baby to arrive. Any time now. Last Saturday August had his Cub Scout pack’s pinewood derby. He came in 1st place for his den….
It’s that time. Things are imminent. Her due date was Sunday. Oh, we’re not on pins and needles, a watched pot doesn’t boil and if we sit around staring at her belly it won’t help matters. Besides, all of the kids that she has given birth to have been late. The earliest was Ciaran at…
I agonized over this one. I don’t know why. I guess because I was thinking I should showcase something new, or at least within this century. Well, I do buy new music, but that wasn’t where my head has been at lately. So what to share? How about something from my favorite band? Oh yes,…
