The Great Oz has spoken!

Pancakes anyone?

Do you ever notice, life seems a lot simpler when we slow down and eat together?  In the late 90’s with 3 small children, Connie and I started a tradition that goes on until this day.  For those of you that know me, you’ll not be surprised that it revolves around food. It started in…

One of these days I’m really going to accept who I am. There’s something about being “that guy” that grows tiresome. I took my car in for an oil change last week. Could have been a Victoria’s Secret supermodel and not have gotten any more looks. They must have wondered, “how did that guy get…

Music to my ears!

Posted on Blog Uncategorized

Do you remember me telling you that my oldest son, Grant, set me up with some tunes for the first few months of this ordeal?  Since that time, even with improved vision, I’ve gotten more into listening to music.  You name the type of music and I think I’ve listened to it.  Pop, Rock and…

Looking more relaxed

Posted on Blog Uncategorized

There’s no way for me to sugarcoat it.  The last 10 months have been rough.  It’s taken time getting used to my dynamic eyesight. In December I met with, Ken Kreager, an old friend of mine from work that had suffered severe burns, in a gas explosion, when he was 8 years old.  Upon seeing…

One leg at a time

When I was in college there were many times that I was about to give up.  I had tried many different ways to learn and take tests with success.  After a few years of this the University of Toledo told me, college may not be for you.  They sent me a letter indicating that my…
