People talk a lot about how the internet has made the world a much smaller place. We’re all so in touch now with things happening all over the world and many of us find ourselves with friends in all corners of the globe, many of whom we’ve never actually met face-to-face.
I’m a member of an [...]

The Crazyheads Go For the Championship!
Posted in Family and Friends, Sports, Uncategorized on November 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Let’s just fast forward because I don’t have the energy to TR the entire day…
Saturday was the end-of-the-season tournament for Sidra’s soccer team (which I coach) and we didn’t play very well at all in our first two games. In part because our leading scorer (Farrah) missed the first game and barely played in game [...]
Quick Start for the “Crazyheads”
Posted in Family and Friends, Sports, Uncategorized on September 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
it’s going to be a looooong, looooong season… FOR THE REST OF THE LEAGUE.
4-1 beatdown today of the team I think is probably the 2nd best team in the league.
Funniest part:
It’s 2-0 at the half and I’m talking to my team and look down to see this little, pony-tailed girl sitting in the middle of everyone.
Me: [...]
Heaven’s a Happier Place Today

Almost 11 years ago, I woke to weight on my chest and an increasingly wet face. Sky had brought home a little Airedale puppy named “Petite” from a local breeder and I was instantly hooked. Sky and I had just gotten married earlier that year and were still unpacking boxes from our new home… and [...]
Feeling A Draft

No, not for fantasy football (I’ve got those coming up soon too), but for my 3rd/4th grade girls soccer team! (I’m not kidding)
I’m coaching Sidra’s soccer team again (4th straight year) and when you hit 3rd/4th grade you DRAFT YOUR TEAM. So we get a sheet with all the girls sorted by rankings (Very Strong, [...]
An Anxiety-Based Ambulance Trip

I wasn’t really going to share this for multiple reasons… but I guess I changed my mind based on a couple of conversations I’ve had…
A week ago tonight, I hosted my weekly poker game as always. Things wrapped up relatively early (before 11:30pm) and I was exhausted so I just went to bed.
At 1:00 a.m. [...]
The Legend of Zalen the Photographer

A few weeks ago, Zalen advanced to the State level in a nationwide photography competition… well this week we received a letter informing us that Zalen has advanced to NATIONALS!
Only one entry in the K-5 group advances from each state… so Zalen beat out everyone in the state of Illinois from 5-years-old to 10-years-old!!! If [...]

(Compilation of posts on 67 about Sky’s entry into WSOP Circuit Event #4: Ladies Only)
5:55 p.m.
My wife and her friend, Karyn, drove down to Hammond today to play in Event #4 (Ladies Only) and amazingly ended up being seated at the SAME TABLE.
She called me at 2:45pm (event started at 3:00pm CT) and told me [...]
Soccer Season is Here!
Posted in Family and Friends, Sports, Uncategorized on September 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Up bright and early this morning for soccer pictures (8:00am) and our first game (9:00am). It’s amazing how quickly fall has arrived… I feel like we were just doing this a few weeks ago.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this team this year. Sidra and a few of the other girls had obviously moved [...]

Zalen is officially in kindergarten!
Our baby boy stepped onto the school bus for the first time this morning with his big sister and was whisked away to school… Mommy and daddy, for our part, took lots of pictures and video at the bus stop before rushing off to the school to get more pictures and [...]
