On To The Next Adventure!
Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, and we are off to Texas! Grampy says I should do a reset. I have no idea what a reset is but here goes! My daddy had to go out on the aircraft carrier thing and then he was going to be sent to Texas soooo… we sold my old…

Happiness: Is It Really A Choice?
We had a “Thought for the Day” Friday that has stuck with me. If you don’t know, I do a podcast with my son, Matt, every Friday. We’re live on YouTube at 8 a.m. and “you can also catch us wherever you go for your favorite podcasts.” One of the weekly features is a Thought…

We’re Not Okay, But We’re Trying
I was thinking the other day that, for a lot of us, we’re not okay…but (hopefully) we’re trying. We are so programmed that when someone asks, “How are you?” we respond with, “Fine.” But how many of us truly are? If you’re a new reader…Welcome! Glad to have you! You may or may not know…

Guess Who’s Back??
Guess who’s back? No, not Grampy. He’s been here. Usually in his chair. Making Grampy noises. My daddy’s here! My daddy has been away with the Navy on a big boat since the summertime. Mommy used to email him every day and sometimes I could talk to him on the FaceTime thing but now he’s…

Youth Sports Parents: The Insanity Needs To Stop
I read a disturbing story this week about a man who died after a brawl at a middle school basketball game. It happened in the town of Alburgh, Vermont and the details are still being investigated. Apparently a brawl broke out that involved quite a few adults during a 7th-8th grade boys basketball game in…

When You See Something, Say Something (Positive)
I had to call my doctors office this week and I got put on hold. Okay! Stop! Where do you think I’m going with this? I was left on hold for days? They dropped the call? The announcement kept saying, “Your call is important to us. Please hold.” Nope. Not this time. I called with…

It’s Not Fair! But It’s What We’ve Got
I ran into an old colleague the other day. (Well not literally. That would have hurt.) I hadn’t seen him in years. We worked together in the 70s and 80’s. I asked him how he was doing and he sighed and said, “Oh, hanging in there.” He looked tired and didn’t look like my strong,…

What Would Happen If You Looked For The Best Everyday?
I saw an interesting Tik Tok yesterday —- I’ll pause for my wife to roll her eyes. She picks on me for going on Tik Tok. I know people have their opinions about Tik Tok. Either it’s a waste of time or the Chinese are spying on us or it’s not for people my age.…

Is It Time For Sunday Dinner?
Welcome to National Sunday Supper Day! It’s celebrated every year on the second Sunday in January. It’s to encourages families to get together and enjoy a meal and conversation. When was the last time you had Sunday dinner? If you’re a fan of the CBS show “Blue Bloods,” you’re not alone if you’ve been envious…

This Feels Incredible!
It may be hard to believe but I think I’ve found something even better than “New Sock Day!” I’ve written before about how I love new sock day. And I should probably point out: I’m talking about athletic socks. New dress socks are nice but I mean the socks you wear with your sneakers. They…
