Lost and found

Five years ago this week, I signed up as a volunteer for the Special Olympics Kentucky State Basketball Tournament. Next weekend, I’m going to be watching a team I coach participate in that tournament. Four years ago, I was starting to get more involved with the organization – but hadn’t yet found my place. IContinue reading “Lost and found”

Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That

Alternate title: Thoughts That Run Through Your Head During Bronchitis-induced Night Sweats I get Bronchitis twice a year (at least) like clockwork. Usually in the fall – Bronchtober – and again in the spring because I live in Kentucky, specifically the Ohio River Valley where the pollen blankets the ground like fresh-fallen snow and itContinue reading “Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That”

Faves on faves

This past year was a light one on posting. Well, 2013 was I mean. I think from January 2014 to now, I’ve posted more than I posted in the entirety of the last calendar year. Why? Because life.

Best Week Ever. Greatest Hits.

I’m just about done telling/showing you about the Jamaica trip. Except for one more thing to tell you about later that’s such a big deal it gets its own post. And here’s a hint: It involves crossing something off my List. But that’s for another time. I took almost 1000 pictures that week. Well personallyContinue reading “Best Week Ever. Greatest Hits.”

Craft skillzzzzz

You guys, normally I am so not crafty. I am crafty with words, yes. However, if you were to give me a few popsicle sticks, some feathers and some glue, I would do the following: – Chew on the popsicle stick on account of I sucked my thumb for a while when I was aContinue reading “Craft skillzzzzz”

The best day

It’s my favorite day all year. My family and several of my friends get together the first Saturday in May for betting, eating, drinking, cigar smoking, cornhole playing, volleyballing, chilling and yelling at the television once every hour. It’s the Kentucky Derby and I love every second of it. The weeks leading up to itContinue reading “The best day”
