Thanksgiving is upon us. In a mere 14 hours I will be sitting on the couch, belt undone, sleeping off another amazing Thanksgiving meal. It will be my fourth of the year, but definitely the best and most special.
Last year I spent Thanksgiving in Nepal. Now don’t get me wrong, I greatly [...]
I love Halloween. I don’t care what people say. Its not an evil holiday, its not satanic or whatever else they want to say. Its fun. Dress up as your favorite superhero and get free candy. I don’t see a problem with that!
For the past two years we’ve had our [...]
There are many reasons why I’m happy to be home. But here are two specific ones: babies and fall.
Except the babies aren’t babies anymore. My niece was seven months when I left. Not she’s a year and a half. That’s a big difference!
These are my two nieces. One is as [...]
Well, I’m back home. Good ole Cincinnati. Had dinner with half of my family, the other half is sick with fevers (not H1N1, though, no worries).
Its strange being home. I feel that I’m not really here yet. Hard to explain, though. Hopefully after a good night’s sleep (in [...]
Tonight was a fun night. We had a surprise birthday party for a friend. Her birthday isn’t until next Sunday, but its a lot easier to surprise somebody when their birthday is still a week away. As she walked up to the door, we flung them open, cake in hand, and started [...]
Football here is that sport where you kick a ball around. The real football, however, is the sport where you throw and kick the ball the around. And there’s nothing like a little Saturday college football. Unless, of course, its Sunday. I woke up at 5:30 this morning (Sunday) and a [...]
Where is my mind these days? I’ve always had problems concentrating, and these days its getting worse. Maybe its an iron deficiency. I do hate broccoli after all, but I really think its because my time in Nepal is growing short.
In two months time I’ll be heading home. Where has the [...]
That’s me and my oldest best friend, Nate. We were maybe nine years old? I just reconnected with him on Facebook today. Before today, I hadn’t seen or talked to him in five years or so. He now has two kids and is living back in the same house he grew [...]
Well, not my babies, but my sister’s babies. Today is Joshua’s second birthday. I can’t believe he is two years old. He was born on the day the Colts won the Super Bowl. A team that deserved it, not like those Steeler schmucks. But I digress…
(My sister is gonna love me for that one!)
I wish [...]
