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 [...]

5:00PM starts the beginning of another 4 day weekend. With this being the second consecutive one, I can honestly say that I could so get used to it. I think that most everyone could as well, except for those diehard “I love my job more than anything” type people. I work with a few of [...]

I don’t know what it is about some people, but some don’t appreciate a thing. For some people, a genuine ‘thank you’ is all that is needed to let them know that you appreciate what they have done.

Only the absence of one person can tell his true value in your life.
