We met up with my sister and her husband for my nephew’s birthday party at Scene 75 in Milford, OH. What a fun place for kids. We’d visited once before, several years back, and they’ve clearly added more attractions. I was really surprised how much there was to do there. Beyond the standard video games/ticket …
The Cub Scout Derby was a success. Next year I will be running this show so I was paying close attention to the happenings. First off, we will need someone available who can fix derby cars as they come in to get weighed. Perhaps we can circumvent this by better communicating what the cars should …
I took my Cub Scouts hiking as part of their last required belt loop. It was a good time and they enjoyed it. We had some really hilly terrain to deal with but it was a beautiful, albeit chilly, sunny day. They are so funny and had me cracking up the entire time. This has …
We attended the Monster Truck Glow Party at Northern Kentucky’s arena and the boys enjoyed themselves. B is really crazy about monster trucks so this was more for him. The concept here were monster trucks of course, but were designed clearly to be marked via Mattel’s Hot Wheels collection. Not a big deal, I buy …
Our first indoor soccer season campaign is underway and it’s been fun. T really likes this a lot. He loves the shorter field, the walls, and not being outside in the cold. I used to play indoor and it is certainly a lot of fun for those reasons. He’s enjoying it so that’s all that …

A great couple of days recently. I took Friday off because I worked on MLK Day due to a client meeting. As such I was able to spend a day by myself doing what I wanted to do and it was glorious. If I could get one of these a quarter I’d feel so relaxed. …
We recently enjoyed our first dinner out as a couple in a long time. We’ve taken to trying to get to one nice restaurant a month for a date night as part of our 2023 resolutions. Our first stop was Sacred Beast, a restaurant I’ve been dying to try since before the pandemic. Why? They …
Great day with my Bears learning some life skills at Dutchman’s Rod and Gun Club. We spent the day earning two belt loops. We started learning knife safety, then how to prepare a simple meal, and then how to put up a tent. Knife Safety The traditional scout way to teach knife safety is to …
I honestly can’t believe that 2022 is at an end. I remember sitting in a high school history class, thinking about what my life would be like in the 2020’s. The subject that day was imagining the future and the challenges we would face. Some of it was pretty poignant – computers and technology and …
