Cincinnati Museum Center and Jungle Jim’s We visited Cincinnati Museum Center. It was 50s Day and they had some cool cars there and people dressed up in period attire. Rain kept us away from Kings Island the Cincinnati Zoo this weekend so I think everyone decided to come here. We also saw two Imax films, …
Master’s Program Review I’ve been on the fence about going back to school for a master’s degree but I believe I’ve made up my mind. I want to go to NKU, where I got one of my undergraduate degrees because they have an online program that is very affordable. I am stuck between an MBI …
Lots Of Work I didn’t get much done this week as I was on a project for work that needed to get delivered on time (I got it out). I coached Ben’s soccer team for a practice and that was fun. I’ve not coached a soccer team in awhile and it was my favorite players, …
Indian Rocks Beach We spent the better portion of this week recuperating from our one day at Magic Kingdom. I will say, I am glad I spent the time walking and exercising my legs before this trip. We did around 8 miles walking that day and I was able to fit into every ride that …
Indian Rocks Beach We left the house Friday for the first time ever on schedule, which made the drive down much less stressful. We stopped at Buccee’s and grabbed our road snacks and dinner, then off to the Hampton Inn in Fort Oglethorpe for our first stay of our trip. This is roughly a 1/3 …

Cub Scout Game Day One of my favorite events of the year and what I got to add as Cubmaster. Game Day is really a Pack bonding experience where all the scouts get together and play various games together. The people leading the event now are really expanding it and adding chess tournaments and a …
Morning Swim I started morning swims and it’s really become a routine I’ve been able to lean on. I tend to go on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I am adding another swim on Sunday. I usually swim an hour and put in 2000 m. It’s been wonderful for my cardio. I tend to just freestyle …
Merit Badge Challenge We now have an official pre-teen in that we purchased a line for my son. When we upgraded our iPhones I gave Ted my old iPhone. He’s used it at home mostly on wi-fi, like you would an iPod. Now that Ted will be going on more independent adventures with the Scouts …
Student Awards Both boys did incredibly well during student achievement awards. Ben nabbed several including a special selection for art and showing respect to his teachers. Both boys landed attendance awards, we are good about getting them into school. I am surprised how much school some children miss. The first step to success is simply …
