Upon Further Review, October Ain’t Bad Either
I’ve written before about how I think September is becoming one of my favorite months. The weather can still be warm but not hot and humid. However, I’ve noticed a few friends posting this week about their love for October and I have to admit that they are winning me over. The main thing of…

The New England Adventure Continues
Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, and boy are we doing lots of stuff! For those of you that don’t know, mommy and I have moved in with Grammy and Grampy while my daddy is away on the big boat. By the way, we started the countdown! Anyway, we’ve been really busy! First it was my…

They Grow Up, Don’t They?
In some ways it seems like it was just yesterday. It’s 5:15 a.m. on a Saturday and the alarm is going off. After a busy week at work it would be so nice to sleep in, BUT, there’s a softball tournament today. You go downstairs to shower and wake up the little softball player who…

Why?
I really don’t know when it started. I think it was before he turned three. Suddenly my grandson, Liam, is constantly asking “Why?” I had forgotten all about this phase. I even had to ask my wife, Priscilla, “Did all of our kids do this?” To which she replied, “Oh yeah!” For those of you…

Military Deployments Can Be Tough For Everyone
I’ve been getting a first hand look at the struggles military families face when a loved one is deployed. I’ve known about it but I guess I never really appreciated it until I saw it affect my own children and grandchild. Almost two years ago I was in Virginia Beach to help with my grandson.…

Slowly Becoming My Favorite Month
I guess it’s that time of year again. No, not the holidays. That’ll come soon enough. No, not back-to-school though that is a thing now. It’s time for my yearly, “Wow! September is pretty awesome” column. It took me a few years to really appreciate it. When I was younger I wasn’t a big fan…

Clean Up In Aisle 2!
I was amazed today when I went shopping at a local store and it looked like a tornado had blown through before I got there! Well maybe not that bad but it was a mess. I won’t name the store but it’s one of the more popular. You know….the one with the big red balls…

Well At Least It Was A Nice Night
It was a fun game to watch… except for the score! My wife Priscilla and I just returned from a trip to Baltimore where we watched the Red Sox lose 15 to 10 Friday night. There were plenty of fireworks in the game between the Baltimore home runs and Xander Bogaerts and Alex Cora being…
