An announcement from Mark and Lori came in today (Mark is my brother). They’re having a GIRL! Thus, I will have a niece and a nephew :-)

It’s been a long week. I’ve played catch-up at work, readjusted myself back in Indiana and recovered (almost) from a cold/sinus thing. Friday – I left work early to pick up the kids from school. We stopped off and picked up some hamburger for the local grocery. I should’ve picked up lettuce, but didn’t think [...]

Sunday – Woke up around 8am and got ready for the day of traveling. I packed up everything and was ready to go by 9am. Kyle got up around 10:30am. We were in the Jeep close to noon and on our way to the airport. Kyle hung out with me until the security check point. [...]

The day started off around 9am. Most of the morning was spent watching NCAA highlights from the night before. Kyle is in a pool and is the scorekeeper, so he’s been checking scores all week. For lunch, we tried a new pizza place that just opened. It had a great Italian theme going for it. [...]

Woke up around 10:30am to the sounds of pounding, slamming, and hammering from the upstairs apartment. Before I got through my first cup of coffee, there was a knock at the door. It was a couple of insurance people ready to take pictures of some water damage Kyle had about a month ago. He left [...]

Thursday – I was up at 8am. We didn’t get started until about 1pm. Our plan was to go to “Trader’s Village”, a large flea-market place on the west side of Dallas. It took us about a half hour to get there, only to find it’s a weekend-only place. Oh, well. On the way over, [...]

Wednesday – I get up around 9:30am, eat some breakfast, have some coffee, check my email, etc. Me and Kyle take Maxine for a walk and then try to plan out the day. By the way, I am feeling 100% better in the morning compared to the night before. For lunch, we go to a [...]

Ok, so you can’t really have jetlag with only a one hour time change, but wow, what a first day in Texas. Tuesday – I got up at 5am and was out of the house by 5:30am. I stopped at McDonald’s at the I-70 and St. Rd. 1 interchange, then headed on into Indianapolis. I [...]

Monday Evening – I left work around 3:30pm, grabbed a mocha from the Blue Bottle for the ride home and got out of Muncie. My first stop was the post office in Farmland which closed it’s window right as I pulled up. So, I turned the car around and went home. In the mail was [...]

Saturday – I spent the morning cleaning up the house in preparation for the kids coming over. They were delivered around noon. We had lunch, hung out, took a nap and then I got ready for my gig. I took the kids down to my parents around 4:30pm, came back home and loaded up and [...]
