When we were getting ready for this trip Noah badly wanted for us to pack a basketball so he could use it and at least dribble around at times. We were pretty tight for space and there wouldn’t really be any spot to use it while we were staying in hotels and other rentals soContinue reading “Basketball Withdraw”

Week of Theme Parks
At the beginning of this week I was contemplating about just how much I going to regret all the money we spent on this week of our trip. We had ambitious days planned to take in five Orlando Theme Parks in four days. The heat was already bothering me, and I’ve not typically been aContinue reading “Week of Theme Parks”
A trip almost 15 years in the making
Coming up on 15 years ago Jen and I for completely random reasons ended up choosing New Orleans for our wedding destination. Neither of us had a burning desire to get married in New Orleans or even visit but I’m ever so glad we did. We were planning our wedding and we knew we wantedContinue reading “A trip almost 15 years in the making”
Meds Reminder
With my last post I talked about having to take eye drops every hour when I’m awake and then an ointment for while I’m asleep. I thought it would be hard remember to put them in and keep track if I had done it for this hour yet or not so I wanted to setContinue reading “Meds Reminder”
Eye have had a tough week
For over a week now I’ve been suffering with an eye infection. Just before last weekend my right eye started itching and I could tell something wasn’t right. From there over the weekend it continued to get worse swollen and red. I’ve had eye infections a few times over the years and usually over theContinue reading “Eye have had a tough week”
Childhood Excitement
Last night I had a bit of a strange dream. In it, I was a young child again, probably about Noah’s age 9-10, and I randomly ran into and was able to meet Fred VanVleet. For those of you who don’t know Fred VanVleet is a basketball player for the Toronto Raptors, and someone IContinue reading “Childhood Excitement”
Proud Dad / Coach
This weekend has caused me to fill with pride, not because anything I’ve done, but because the effort and growth Noah and his whole basketball team has made this year. Last year I had told the coach of the Little Dunkers group Noah was in that I’d be happy to help out with anything IContinue reading “Proud Dad / Coach”
Dial-up Internet
Sometimes I miss the beautiful singing of dial-up modems communicating with each other and negotiating the terms of their courtship. A brief thread in Slack at work had us joking about old technology, even though some of it isn’t all that old, but it had me try to be poetic about the days of dial-upContinue reading “Dial-up Internet”
That’s not your email
Over the years I’ve gotten a lot of email that is meant for someone else. The majority of the time it seems it’s people who don’t seem to know their own address. I signed up for Gmail near when it first came out, it was still invite only. Though I wasn’t lucky enough to knowContinue reading “That’s not your email”
This guy wouldn’t let the cold stop him
Yesterday I didn’t move very much. Right up until about 9pm my Fitbit was only showing about 1200 steps, that’s pretty lazy. Earlier in the day when it was even lower than that I was chatting with my team about how I should go out for a walk but that I was being a wimpContinue reading “This guy wouldn’t let the cold stop him”
