Excision, The Nexus Tour I was checking the local music venues for something interesting and came across Excision’s Nexus Tour. It was coming to a new local music venue that I’ve not visited yet, so my impulse control fell to the wayside and I purchased a ticket. I’l admit, I put the ticket back on …

Blue and Gold Ceremony Thus ends one of the most interesting, endearing period in my life. Wow, I loved being Cubmaster. After this ceremony I will become the Pack Committee Chair and work more on Cub Scouting itself. I don’t foresee me going up through the Council level though, although I will be getting more …

Cub Scout Leadership Awards I received a few awards at the recent Trailblazer District Dinner. The first was a training award, which is a common knot that leaders wear on their uniform. You typically receive this when you do your training. The second was a Silver Acorn, which you receive a nomination for and is …

Return To NKFF I returned to a monthly meeting of the Northern Kentucky Fly Fishers. It is hard to explain how much this organization meant to me in my own development. I was very active here, and at one point its president. The 100 or so members during my time became a big portion of …

Knotty Pine On The Bayou Since we weren’t able to get our usual Fat Tuesday meal since Dee Felice’s closed down in Covington, we made a trip over to Knotty Pine on the Bayou to dry out their dinner menu. I’ve not been here in awhile. The restaurant is kind of run down but the …

Cub Scout Skit Night We launched our first ever Cub Scout Skit Night. Skits and songs are a big part of scouting, and unfortunately often overlooked. I wanted to bring in a workshop to teach a few scouts a little skit they could do or song they could sing at our April Campout. Oftentimes younger …

SEA Cuisine It is no secret that I am a big fan of Vietnamese food, but it is a rarity for me to be able to get it. Where I live there just isn’t many places to eat, so I was overjoyed when I drove past a local elementary school and saw a food truck …

Trip To The Cincinnati Zoo I wanted to make my 2024 resolution going to the Cincinnati Zoo once a month. I made a massive mistake in January in scheduling it for the last weekend of the month, and our schedule couldn’t swing it. No worries, this trip made up for that missed opportunity. The best …

COVID Strikes Again Yes, I have COVID. This is my second run in with the old Rona. I’ve not been too sick and feel much better than I did with the first go around. I didn’t even realize I had it until I started feeling a little disoriented and checked my temp to find that …
