Doesn’t it seem like things we use all the time, we just take for granted, and don’t think much about their origin or original design? You know – things are just what they are – stoplight design hasn’t changed much since it’s inception, US cars have drivers on the left, TV’s have bulky, easy to […]
When it comes to snack foods, I gotta admit I’m a champion. And if it involves dipping, just move aside, as I rock. You name it – cheese, veggie, fruity, chocolate, spicy, sweet, creamy – I pretty much like ‘em all. But, during the summer, for me, there’s nothing quite like all kinds of salsas […]
All of us have those special childhood times and events we remember that bring great memories. So, here’s one for you… Where were you (and who were you with) when you had your first Slurpee (and associated brain freeze)? For me, it was at K-Mart back when they were called Icee’s, pretty sure, with some […]
The Fourth of July isn’t just a day off; it’s a celebration of everything that makes America unique: our freedom, our resilience, our sense of community, our families, and our friends. From early morning parades to late-night fireworks, the day is filled with moments that bring us together in meaningful, memorable ways. “The 4th” is a time to pause […]

Let’s be honest—us dads don’t always get the credit we deserve. We’re not in it for the glory, but every once in a while, it’s nice to be seen. So, this Father’s Day, I’m putting in a good word for all the wonderful fathers out there. The ones who raised us, and the ones we’ve […]
For me, sometimes starting the day with a tasty, fresh smoothie has to include peanut butter and spinach. Quick, light, and packed with just what I need to get going and begin solving your PIA (pain in the @%$) Jobs! When I get together with my buds, or the family for breakfast, it seems like […]
If you are a parent or a grandparent, you know just how wonderful these words are. I LOVE IT when my grandkids ask me to join them to play. The “Grandpa, do you want to come play with me?” never gets old! It doesn’t matter if we’re making pretend food, squishing playdough into balls and […]
Each year, on Memorial Day, Americans come together to honor the brave men and women who have served, or currently serve, in our military. It is a day dedicated to recognizing the commitment, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication of those who protected our nation. Let’s all take the time to express our gratitude to all active-duty […]
