As most of you know Mary Ellen and I moved up to Fishers from New Palestine this past October, and I knew before hand that the traffic would be bad. I didn't know that it would be this bad...

The U.S.S. Indianapolis left its mark in World War II history twice. It was the United States' destroyer that delivered the first atomic bomb to the island of Tinian on July 26, 1945. With it being so close to the end of the war...

Call me a throwback, un-hip, un-cool, etc. but I really enjoy good old fashion folk music. While I'm not an officisianado on folk music I thought it would be fun to at least give my layman's perspective on some of the folk bands I listen to. I'll break this out into four blogs so...

Continuing my journey through folk music I come to a man many of you probably heard in his earlier years with The Band, Levon Helm. The Band had such hits as “The Weight,” “The Night They Drove Dixie Down,” “Up On Cripple Creek,” and more. A think a lot of Southern Rock...

Well we had another food breakthrough with Liam getting him initiated to boyhood. Last night Mary Ellen and Liam were having hot dogs with Liam having his cut up on the plate and Mary Ellen eating hers in a bun. So Liam looks up and says...

This time Greg and I though instead of going to a Civil War battlefield for our bi-annual trip we would go to the Smoky Mountain National Park, and I think the change was well worth it. Though Greg couldn't find his...

All I can say is just wow! This trip was one of my favorite of all times and now I can only think about going back for more. Greg and I left on a raining Thursday, but once we got to Knoxville...

All the way through grade school to college I have always followed the space program, not as much of late but I still keep a keen eye to news coming out of NASA. As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of humans...

On July 21st Liam had his first official swim lesson over at the YMCA, and after starting out a little nervous with out his mommy or daddy in the water he did a great job. He is in a kiddy pool so he can actually touch the bottom, which...

June and July went by so quick that I'm still trying to take it all in. We took a short trip to King's Island and Great Wolf Lodge with Liam and Charles which went really well. Liam loved the old Beastie which is now...

I figured I might as well write a review for this movie since I have already seen it four times. Now mind you I had to watch it once to preview it for Liam and then the other three times Liam wanted to go of course I didn’t put up any arguments. Thought I might also give some brief feelings on the...

It starts with Dad's and Uncle Jason's birthdays, and continues with Liam's birthday along with our wedding anniversary. We had some real fun these past couple of months as Liam finished up...

I love my cat Jake, but he is a little special and probably one of the world’s most annoying creatures. Some things he just can’t help like his bum knee that causes him not to be able to jump like a normal cat or the fact he is just so obese that he cannot...

This past Saturday we took are usual annual trip to the pumpkin patch with Liam. This year he kept complaining that he just wanted to stay home and play because he thought the pumpkin patch was boring. We however....
