Leave For Kodak, TN We were able to depart a half day earlier for our trip than originally planned on Wednesday, roughly 5 hours earlier, which was greatly appreciated by all. Because I worked on Juneteenth the week before I parlayed that into an additional half day off, so instead of arriving around 10:30 at …
Queens of the Stone Age I’ve been on a bit of a concert kick recently having several shows lined up this summer. One of the benefits of the streaming era is that groups need to perform live to supplement income now, no more half-effort touring like they are the Beatles. There are many groups large …
Drive In Movies – Starlite I wanted to visit the Starlite Auto Theater in Amelia, OH for Father’s Day. The boys wanted to watch “How To Train Your Dragon,” a live action remake of an animated movie and franchise they enjoyed. It was a nice pleasant evening weather wise, the rain stopped right as we …
Birthday Fun We celebrated my youngest son’s birthday with a spectacular birthday weekend. The poor fella’s had a few lousy birthdays, people just out on vacation because it falls during the summer months, etc., so we wanted to make it up to him. We first celebrated by doing our normal birthday celebration, dinner at your …
Bin Building We are finally finished building the bin with only finishing touches to be done, like adding in the windows and painting, which aren’t that difficult of an undertaking. I am excited to be able to put this behind us. It took four of us to finish the project and I think all of …

Ted’s First Solo Campout Because of the storm Friday, leadership decided to postpone Ted’s campout until Saturday morning. I brought him and a neighbor to the drop-off where they loaded the trailer and left for Walnut Ridge. I drove there with another scout, also a friend of Ted’s, and found the campground. It was odd …
MBA Acceptance It is official, I am going after my MBA with a focus in Data Analytics. I am really excited about it, a little nervous, but excited. I am going to take one class first to get my feet wet, and since I’m paying out of pocket, this is the easier approach. Northern Kentucky …
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 …
