A new Boat
This boat caught my eye at the Fred Hall show in 2007. It seemed to have a key trait that I need in a boat; fit in my driveway. The Bayrunner was, and still is, a great boat, but priorities have changed a bit with the growing family and my own personal age. Read more →
Chance Encounter with my Knee Doctor
Dr. Behr is a man I truly appreciate, but he is not one I want to see on my own accord. You see, when it is time to visit him, it means something is bad with my knee. This time it was a pleasant surprise. Read more →

36 And a Birthday in a Retirement Home
Last weekend we had a small family reunion of sorts for my side of the family. The girls saw their cousin for the first time in way too long and had a lot of fun. As a reminder that I am not getting any younger (no I don’t forget very often), mom had a birthday celebration for me Saturday night. … Read more →
