A baby became a toddler, learning how to talk, how to jump, how to ice skate, and how to snowboard. A boy was offered a spot on two separate hockey teams after a week of grueling tryouts. He sharpened his skills in multiple summer camps and he’s now playing at a whole new level. AContinue reading “Thank You God for 2025”

The Quiet Week
Between Christmas and New Years sits a beautiful 7-day period. (If you want to get technical, it just depends on what day you include in your counting. The point isn’t the math here.) During this period of time, many businesses are still open. Many people still report to work. But, many businesses also run skeletonContinue reading “The Quiet Week”
Does It Make A Sound?
If I didn’t take a picture of it and post it on social media, did it even happen? The answer is yes. My family and I do dozens of cool things every year that I don’t post on social media.

A Nod to Goats
I saw a post saying that it’s been 28 years since Kobe and MJ faced off for their first game. MJ was a dominant force at that time. It was 1997. Remember the streak? 1991, 92, 93 NBA championships. Leaves for 1+ year to play baseball. Comes back and wins championships in 96, 97, 98.Continue reading “A Nod to Goats”
More Talk = Less Truth
You ever put your foot in your mouth? I’ve put my foot in my mouth more times than I can count, usually in conversations with my wife. Anyone who knows me, knows I try to stay quiet most of the time. In fact, I’ve had many people tell me they wish I’d talk more. ButContinue reading “More Talk = Less Truth”
