Blue And Gold, Cub Master, Outdoor Soccer

Cubmaster Induction With the official Blue and Gold dinner, aka the Crossing Over Ceremony, I am now the official Cubmaster of Pack 808. The current Cubmaster will pass over with his child to the Boy Scouts. I volunteered to help out here because T has two years left, and then B will be a Lion …

Tae Kwon Do Tournament, Visit To Cincinnati Museum Center

Tae Kwon Do Tournament, Visit To Cincinnati Museum Center

Tae Kwon Do Tournament B’s first TKD tournament and we had fun. He came in first place in his form, just like all the other kids as well (I think even the shy kid who cried and didn’t get up got a medal too). It was fun, probably more for the parents though. I’m not …

The End Of Indoor Soccer, Cincinnati Zoo, The Perfect Pork Shoulder

The End Of Indoor T’s first season of indoor soccer season is over. He really loved the experience and I think we’ll do it again next year. This is also the last team I will coach.

Visit To TQL Stadium

Visit To TQL Stadium

Visit To TQL Our first visit to TQL this season to watch an FCC game and it was a blast! I love this stadium and the experience it provides. The first thing I like is that it’s not on the Ohio River. What is the point of putting those two massive stadiums there? Paul Brown/Paycor …

Visiting Scene 75

Visiting Scene 75

We met up with my sister and her husband for my nephew’s birthday party at Scene 75 in Milford, OH. What a fun place for kids. We’d visited once before, several years back, and they’ve clearly added more attractions. I was really surprised how much there was to do there. Beyond the standard video games/ticket …

Cub Scout Derby, Tae Kwon Do

Cub Scout Derby, Tae Kwon Do

The Cub Scout Derby was a success. Next year I will be running this show so I was paying close attention to the happenings. First off, we will need someone available who can fix derby cars as they come in to get weighed. Perhaps we can circumvent this by better communicating what the cars should …

Cub Scout Hike, Quitting Twitter For Good

Cub Scout Hike, Quitting Twitter For Good

I took my Cub Scouts hiking as part of their last required belt loop. It was a good time and they enjoyed it. We had some really hilly terrain to deal with but it was a beautiful, albeit chilly, sunny day. They are so funny and had me cracking up the entire time. This has …

Monster Trucks, Movie Reviews, X-Box Game Pass

Monster Trucks, Movie Reviews, X-Box Game Pass

We attended the Monster Truck Glow Party at Northern Kentucky’s arena and the boys enjoyed themselves. B is really crazy about monster trucks so this was more for him. The concept here were monster trucks of course, but were designed clearly to be marked via Mattel’s Hot Wheels collection. Not a big deal, I buy …

Indoor Soccer Season, Retro Gaming On The 3DS, New Profile Pic

Our first indoor soccer season campaign is underway and it’s been fun. T really likes this a lot. He loves the shorter field, the walls, and not being outside in the cold. I used to play indoor and it is certainly a lot of fun for those reasons. He’s enjoying it so that’s all that …

Cub Scout Night At Perfect North Slopes

Cub Scout Night At Perfect North Slopes

What a fun night with the Cub Scouts at Perfect North Slopes. We had a wonderful time snow tubing down the slopes. This is only the second time I’ve been to PNS but it was fun. T wants to come back and snowboard and I think that’s great. I would love to experience that with …
