      Grammar Nazis Untie

      I admit I'm a bit of a grammar nazi. I don't take it to the extreme, but there are certain words that drive me nuts. I blame social media and the fact that the dumbest members of society are also the most vocal. Here's a list in no particular order: 1. Affect / effect (Shooting without...

      My wife (47) went in early last week for her routine mammogram. 3 visits and a biopsy later, we got the call today she has Lobular Carcinoma breast cancer.

      I’m a grandpa!

      Even got the shirt to prove it. My daughter and her husband welcomed a baby girl on Thursday 10/20. Baby was 11 days overdue, so they induced her. After 36 hours of labor, she still wasn’t dilated, so they took the baby c-section. Baby was in the NICU until this morning due to low oxygen and to...

      Where to buy a flag

      I want to replace the flag at our church as it is getting frayed and faded. It flies 24/7/365, so I need one that will hold up to the elements. I’m willing to spend good money as long as it’s good quality. I’m looking for 5’X8’ or 5’X9’6” size. What’s the best material? I’ve seen cotton...

      Gave my daughter away

      My oldest daughter got married this weekend. She has always been a daddy’s girl and we were extremely close. Dads, if you haven’t done this before, all I can say is there is no way you can prepare enough. Lots of emotions as I sent my baby into the world. I know this is what kids are supposed to...

      Rhino would be proud

      I was opening up some packages this afternoon with my Kershaw Blur which I had just sharpened the previous day. Apparently 2020 wanted to get one last jab in and seized the opportunity.
