While leaving work earlier today to head to lunch, I was struck with the unpleasant reminder that summer is quickly fading to fall.

I am horrible at putting off a few things that should be taken very serious and never put aside. It’s so easy to say you’ll do it next week or next month, and before you know it a whole year has slipped by. Yep, I managed to let an entire year pass since I was supposed [...]

I’m not a big fan of having my picture taken at all, but my oldest brother is wanting to get us all together and go get some family photos taken since we have all grown older. The last ones we had taken were at the old firestation next to our Elementary school probably 18 years [...]

There’s nothing like a slap in the face from the hand of reality to make you realize how quickly time passes by. I got a message from a friend that I went to high school with a few days ago that our 5 year class reunion was coming up this summer sometime. I think I’ve [...]
