Things on My Mind…A List
- Spring snow is futile and only short lived.
- A lot of maladies in life are that way too.
- Given that, they are still pains.
- I would love a giant cast iron skillet/pan.
- Before someone dies you have the good and the bad from them.
- After they die you still have the bad but now you don’t have and miss the good.
- I spent one winter in Florida…it was nice.
- I was beating myself up for being at a community college when I realized it was 70 degrees in January.
- I golfed a lot.
- I don’t golf a lot now.
- Rachel and I talked about having to get the kids ready for playing in the snow.
- Albeit a sweet memory, we don’t miss duct taping their pants to their boots and gloves coming off.
- Life does go fast though.
- Over the last few months I would shave my dad with my electric razor.
- I would now like to shave without remembering my dad in those days.
- Yes, I cared for him and was a good son but he was not at his best.
- A tree fell just behind our backyard last night.
- It fell backward, had it fallen forward it would have snapped every wire leading to our house.
- Why do you suppose that Dr. Phil wears SO much makeup?
- Joe and Bella are doing fine in the post Poppi era…I think.
- It’s hard to deal with something that makes sense (Dad dying) following something that doesn’t (Trey).
- I really enjoy my guys volleyball team this year…good guys.
- It’s a real blessing to be in the lives of young men growing and maturing.
- What would the world look like if we just kept trying to meet others needs?
- It helps me a ton to be there for others.
- Money is nice too…just saying.
- My brother has a great line about winning the lottery.
- He says, “That would bring a ton of problems. I’d like to try those problems though, I’m tired of mine.”
- I haven’t skied in a very long time.
- I bet it would hurt more if…if I fell.
- I have started playing volleyball again.
- I had stopped for years because my shoulders were too weak/hurt.
- Turns out doing my physical therapy exercises does in fact strengthen my muscles.
- To that end I was quite sure I’d rip a muscle in my legs.
- I say that because I remember my coach, Mr. Brown, doing that when I was in high school.
- He’s in better shape than me now.
- I would like to go back to Indiana University in Bloomington, my alma mater.
- I have had dreams about both my dad and Trey.
- In those dreams they are already dead but alive in the dream.
- Adam Carolla always talks about having grit.
- I wish I had more grit.
- I have realized that I have a TON of grit when things happen to me.
- I’d like more in regards to things that I would like to improve upon in my life.
- Kennywood will be open again soon.
- Joe is at the age where we can let him go around by himself with a friend or two…scary.
- Then again, he can get his drivers permit in two years…yeah, scary.
- Life is fast. Then again, a year is 1/45th of my life now. That’s not too much.
- I apologize to those of you who read my statements about helping others and wonder why I haven’t helped you…
- I really like our “coffee shop” ish room that we have our 9am service in. It isn’t even done yet.
