Our visit to Kings Island for Father’s Day was one of the best visits I’ve ever experienced. For once, and only once, I was allowed to set the agenda for the day. This meant puttering around, eating every 45 minutes, people watching, watching my kids ride rides, and not standing in any long lines. There …
Garden – My garden is taking shape. Every year it gets a little better. I’ve really fine tuned the seed starting process with a timed grow station in the basement. I’ve carved out a lot of space in the backyard, having purchased a roto-tiller. I still haven’t figured out the timing yet. Every year it …
A Night At The Movie – We made it back to the Starlite in Amelia, OH to watch Jurassic World Dominion. It was absolutely packed! I’ve never seen the drive-in as busy as that night. They had them packed all the way to the last row and were still letting in people. The rule with …
Memorial Day Weekend is traditionally the kickoff to summer. This year I wanted to actually celebrate Memorial Day the way it was intended, which is really more of a solemn holiday than a festive one. First we went to Independence’s Memorial Day Parade. I marched along the route with our troop 808 Cub Scouts down …

Training – I am now weight lifting pretty regularly during the week. I tend to go during lunchtime and get about 45 minutes in. There is a terrific private gym minutes from my house. The equipment is well maintained and the gym is kept very clean. I am mostly hammering on the bench press, with …
We visited Kings Island on Friday evening to celebrate its 50th Birthday Party. I am glad that we did because Kings Island holds a special place in my past and I wanted to be there for this event. I have a lot of happy memories of going to Kings Island as a kid with my …
Foodie report – here are some notable food experiences I’ve had recently. Yes, I am a food dork but everyone has something I guess. Here’s my top five from recent dining visits. Ole Times Country Buffet – My favorite stop in Macon, GA. We arrived right at noon. Evidently they role out the meats at …
We are back from a terrific week at Indian Rocks Beach, Florida. The weather was perfect everyday, with a little wind earlier in the week. By the time we left, temperatures were in the 80s and the water was like glass. Unbelievably we didn’t get any rain during this week, a rare occurrence in Florida …
