Opportunities Ahead?

Morning Kiddos This is an important post (at least I think it is), but you are probably too young to fully grasp it or maybe I just think it’s important when it’s not? That said, I believe it is important and hope some of it sinks in and that you remember some of these words?  […]

Love – of course!

Dear Daughter & Son Love is the most obvious “why life is great” posting, but I wanted to wait until today to post it because it’s mom and dad’s 25th wedding Anniversary.

Best Time & Place to be a Woman!?

Dear Daughter This is sadly a serious post and a failing on my part for not having discussed this with you before. It’s seriousness mandates lots of words, that’s why you’re getting it on a weekend. I know you’re busy at school, but there’s never a right time for this one. It’s about sexual harassment! […]

Silliness Makes Life Great

Dear Daughter I have many photos of our family and this one is one of my more favorites photos of you to date.  It’s you just being spontaneously silly, which is what I think really makes Life Great. The photo next to yours is of another silly guy, so maybe it’s in the genes. Hang […]
