Hello everyone!  I’m writing this from the hotel room in Iowa!  Why can’t life be one big vacation?
Last weekend Momma and I took Ace to the Center Of Science and Industry, commonly known as COSI.
This place is sweet! (especially for a big dork like me).  Ace is kinda little for most of the [...]

Friends, some days I wonder what they are good for!  Other days I know for sure, but Friday when I needed someone to cry to, a “good” friend of mine didn’t have the time to listen.  I’m always aware of how people are feeling, this is a personality trait I suppose, but I thought maybe [...]

The rain stayed away and we were able to go to the zoo! Thank goodness the weatherman is wrong 99.9% of the time!
Instead of boring you with my rambling on and on about the fun times we had, I’ll illustrate our fun time with a boat load of pictures…

If you know Ace even the slightest little bit, you would know that if you found him sitting still for longer than 0.163 seconds with his eyes open and the TV not on Noggin, that something is seriously wrong!
Well that was the scene when I arrived home from work a few nights ago.  Momma called [...]

Vacation! It’s coming soon!
Do you know the last time we went on a real vacation? A real getaway? Me neither.
In a few weeks we are going to pack 900 pounds of stuff into the back of Momma’s truck, and guess what…it is all Ace’s!
Seriously, how can such a little guy require so much stuff? The [...]

Okay so like the rest of you I’m hooked on xbox4nappyrash and his struggle to conceive a baby.  Apparently this is pretty common, at least in our house it is!  In case most of you forgot, or didn’t pay attention, we started “not trying” back in September 07.  Well here it is, May 08 and [...]

So, I’m pretty sure Momma is going to kill me! Why? Because, I have a weakness for FREE stuff. Especially free stuff with wheels and an engine.
In the past year I have acquired an 87 Chevy Blazer, a 77 Honda motorcycle, and 4 old push mowers that I didn’t pay [...]

We all have what I call our “early memories”. The ones from our early childhood that we will never forget.  What are some of mine?

Climbing a fence because a snake chased me up there.  I yelled for my Mom until she came out of the house and chopped the snake up with a shovel!  She [...]

April was a  busy month! 
With the weather getting nice we could finally take Ace outside to play.  He digs the outdoors, probably more than me!  Of course, as Ace learns to do new things, I learn new things as well…like performing the Poop-endectomy!
While traveling down to Louisiana for work, one of my favorite drinks was infested [...]
