Dinner With Siblings We found ourselves with a rare night without kids, one went camping with the Boy Scouts and the other to a friend’s house for a birthday party. We met my siblings at a Mexican restaurant. The food wasn’t that good though unfortunately! We honestly didn’t take advantage of not having kids on …

Back To School For The Boys, and Me! My two week summer break is over and my next class is starting up. This next particular class will be on IS strategy and organizations. I suspect I have a leg up given what I do but I’ve found that it’s not good to assume anything about …

End Of Class I spent the entire weekend finishing up my second MBA class, and really didn’t do much this week except classwork. The last week required the standard financial paper, but instead of being worth 50 points, it was worth 100. Even though it was requested to be done within three pages, it was …

Cincinnati Zoo I feel like with school I’ve not spent much time with the boys recently, so I took the two of them for a day at Cincinnati Zoo and lunch at Skyline Chili. We had a wonderful time at the zoo. Being able to get there before the general public enters gives you plenty …

Catching Up After being away from home for 9 days and catching up at work again, I don’t have much to report. Everyday has just been the same, get as much work done as possible. I did return from PTO with some major changes at work, which I won’t discuss here, and I needed to …

Boy Scout Camp I am back from the Randsburg Scouting Reservation (RSR) and wow, what a week. I am so glad to be home as I am totally exhausted from the trip. I did adjust my schedule to accommodate school. After driving some Scouts into camp on Sunday, I left Monday evening and went home. …

Cub Scout Camp This is the week I’ve not been looking forward to for awhile. This week, and next, I will be at two summer camps for Scouting. The first three days of the jaunt will have me at Cub World with Ben and the Cub Scouts. This will be two nights of camping. Then …

Red, White, and Boom We attended the Red, White and Boom concert at Riverbend to see the Cincinnati Pops. It was also the event where the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award that was presented to John Morris Russell, the Pops conductor, would take place. They had over a hundred Scouts there to march up and down …

Leave For Kodak, TN We were able to depart a half day earlier for our trip than originally planned on Wednesday, roughly 5 hours earlier, which was greatly appreciated by all. Because I worked on Juneteenth the week before I parlayed that into an additional half day off, so instead of arriving around 10:30 at …

Queens of the Stone Age I’ve been on a bit of a concert kick recently having several shows lined up this summer. One of the benefits of the streaming era is that groups need to perform live to supplement income now, no more half-effort touring like they are the Beatles. There are many groups large …
