Back in younger days, my family would sit down to watch cheesy sitcoms. Those late 80s/early 90s shows were part of family night with my mom, dad, and sister. When Cheers ended, a secondary – maybe even tertiary – character spun off his own show that lasted for eleven seasons. Frasier premiered in 1993, better … Continue reading Frasier Reminds Me of My Dad

Vacation Over!
2018 has been a strange year so far. With illnesses, work projects, and family, I've been going, going, going. In addition to work, I've been reading, writing, and reviewing. While the year has been extremely productive, I've gone a little Charlie Day pinning stuff to walls lately. Vacation Luckily, my in-laws planned a trip to … Continue reading Vacation Over!
Life is Short; Chase Your Goals
Ever since my father passed, all I can think is that life is short, and I have so much I want to accomplish. To do this, I first had to figure out what my goals were, what goals I've accomplished, and what goals remained open. When I followed this process, I found a list of … Continue reading Life is Short; Chase Your Goals
2017 in Retrospect
2017, on a personal level, has been a good but busy year. On a national level, it’s been a disaster, but there are many people talking about that in a much better way than I. It’s a bit early to do a year in review for me. There is a lot of good things happening … Continue reading 2017 in Retrospect
RIP Morgan
This past weekend, my family said goodbye to Morgan Primm. It was heartbreaking. There are many ways to describe Morgan. He was a father, husband, son, brother, grandson, cousin, and friend. He was a business owner, a diesel man, and an avid truck puller. But those words fail to capture who he really was. What … Continue reading RIP Morgan

A Baseball to the Head
My father once took on the thankless task of being our baseball coach. It was my first year out of tee ball, which meant the big leagues for us. We needed no assistance to make contact with the ball. Now, my father, at this time, played slow pitch softball with his friends on the weekend. … Continue reading A Baseball to the Head
We Cut the Cord
Before my lovely partner Sue moved into our house, I didn't have cable or internet in the house. It was fantastic. I owned DVDs, had Netflix delivery, and read. I also read and read and read with a pinch of video games thrown in for fun. When Sue arrived, she wanted cable for fun and … Continue reading We Cut the Cord
A New Start
2016 was a difficult year. I don’t know anyone who would disagree with that. For me, it was difficult because my father lost his battle to cancer in May. I struggled with it all year and still am. That grief was bigger than I knew what to do with, and I withdrew from life. My … Continue reading A New Start
