Splitting wood reminds me of marriage

Posted on June 25, 2013 Blog Uncategorized

Are you serious? Yes, I am. You may remember in my last post I told you about the other man in our house, my oldest son. Grant and I had the chance to talk a little last week while he was splitting wood. I loved to see him working hard. Seeing his shirt…

Do you hear that?

Posted on June 20, 2013 Blog Uncategorized

Picture this, I’m in my office (in our basement) with the window slightly cracked for a little fresh air. It’s in the 80’s just before noon. As you might expect it’s another humid day in Ohio. Off in the distance I hear a “thud”. Ten seconds go by and I hear another “thud”. This happens…

The Position Has Been Filled!

Posted on June 11, 2013 Blog Uncategorized

OK, the position was never “officially” posted but I’m happy to say that I’m no longer in need of a seeing-eye-dog (for the purposes of golf!). My good friend Cary Allion has stepped to be my seeing-eye-“slink”dog. You may have seen my request last night. If you didn’t, please reply to this note with…

Do you want cheese to go with the wine?

Posted on April 19, 2013 Blog Uncategorized

I try not to whine, but some days are hard. This time I opted to leave out the “h” and just have wine and it was good. Connie and I met with Dr. Katz, yesterday, and he told me that he had been thinking about me quite a lot over the past few weeks. This…

Annoyed? Get over it.

Posted on April 18, 2013 Blog Uncategorized

As many of you know, I’ve had several surgeries over the past couple of years. Since my last post, on April 2nd, I had an appointment with Dr. Katz, my Neuro-Ophthalmologist. It happened to be the day after my 2 year anniversary of brain surgery. Maybe I was feeling a little extra punchy. Maybe I…

Ahhhh! I’ve got a brain cramp.

Posted on March 4, 2013 Blog Uncategorized

I know that I have things that I need to tell you. I’m just not sure about my delivery. I can’t tell you how many times I wake up in the middle of the night and think about things to write. But, here I sit on Sunday night wallowing in a lack of words. I…

Grant’s 18 in 10 days

Posted on February 24, 2013 Blog Uncategorized

Holy Cow! On March 6th, my oldest son will be able to vote. His seventeenth birthday meant that we couldn’t claim him as a deduction on our taxes. This means that he has to register for the Selective Service which, among other things (I think), makes him eligible for the draft. The next thing…

Who left the lid up!?!

Posted on January 27, 2013 Blog Uncategorized

Normally, those 5 words make the males in my house very nervous. We’re all trying to retrace our footsteps and remember where and when we last went to the bathroom. It is tough, considering we can’t even remember what we had for breakfast. We have new toilets at our house that prevent the lids from…

Film at 11:00

Posted on January 17, 2013 Blog Uncategorized

What does “Film at 11:00” mean? I’ll get to that. What it doesn’t mean is that you’ll be seeing me post my current picture any time soon. I’m happy to report that the surgery went well. Connie spoke with the doctor and he seemed content. I suppose the healing process has begun but, for now,…

What we have here is a failure to communicate!

Posted on January 15, 2013 Blog Uncategorized

Well, I’m in trouble. I forgot to tell my mom and, secondarily, all of you that I’m having the Frontalis Sling Surgery on Wednesday morning. It will be an outpatient procedure with “general” anaethesia. In case you don’t remember, my last post ended….. “My appointment was on Monday, the 31st. He told me that it…
