So, this happened last Monday. The boy took his first official college visit to Villanova. Granted we have been there several times in the past. But when a last minute opening became available, we jumped on it. It was nice to hear from an actual student perspective. Key sticking points, 90% of their students have …

WIR: Feb 10
With so much hate everywhere, the Walking Monks arrived at just the right time. They are on a peace walk from Texas to Washington DC. They arrived today at the capital today in the bitter wind and cold, spirit not broken. I’ve been watching their journey on social media. They carry with them a message …

It’s been a week since the prep for snow Armageddon. We were forecasted for close to a foot of snow. And well, that semis to drive out the crazy in people. It started with my normal early morning grocery run. The parking lot bring a little full should have been the first indicator. When I …

Happy New Year. Personally, I have never been happier to close out a year. It was a tough one, and I’m not entirely sure this year will be better, but it’s here and I’m ready to go. We headed back from Ohio after new year. It was a cold week, full of snow and wind. …

WIR Halloween

We’ll still handout and watch the little ones scrambling around the neighborhood So, I have been on furlough from work. We’ve hit the one month …
Fall Season
After a long, warm fall, it’s starting to feel colder. The sun is setting earlier. The leaves are changing color. The birds long gone. But in this mist, the boy is well into his Sophomore year. Last weekend, he attended Homecoming with a couple of his buds. Unfortunate for the ladies, he was more interested …
First Game Day
We started our day with a morning walk in the beach. Actually, I ran first and then walked the pups (JuJu and Reecie) on the beach. Did I mention that it’s hot even at 7am! Pop Pop and dad made a brief appearance as well. We then headed to Shipyard park. Our game was supposed …
Isle of Palms Day
The next day, Mike’s parents joined us. Pretty cool, two sets of parents. The baseball boys went to the beach while we toured around the isle. Fort Sumter was on our to do list. We walked around the area. Very big cannons. Fun fact, first shot of the Civil War was fired here. We capped …
