In high school, I had four good friends – Uggie, Brad, J-Rock and John.  We pretty much spent the better part of our days and evenings together from middle of our sophomore year on.  We always made a point of getting together when we came back from college on breaks and in the summers.  BradContinue reading “Running with the Wind(s)”

Katie’s crew of 4-5 year old dancers were back at it again last night at the girls basketball game.  They provided the halftime entertainment with this little number:     Enjoy!

On the last blog entry’s theme of TV shows, I’d be remiss if I didn’t talk about Becky’s favorite shows.  She loves just about everything on Bravo.  One time when I looked at Dish network channels, she said any package without Bravo would get vetoed by her.  Her favorite shows of all are Top ChefContinue reading “Top Chef”

People ask me what shows I watch on TV once and a while, and the answer is pretty simple.  There are really only two shows.  During baseball season, I watch the Win Twins Win (Katie’s name for the Minnesota Twins).  Due to the sudden interest in this household in all things Dora and Doodlebops, weContinue reading “The Office”

For my mom’s 39th birthday for the 21st time, our family celebrated by going back to the Thumper Pond Waterpark we went to last year in February (here’s that story: http://enewell.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!444015D56683B8E9!314.entry).  Last year, Katie had a good time, but took it fairly easy and Amelia was scared pretty much the whole time.   This yearContinue reading “Water Park – Year 2”

I have three interesting (at least to me) stories to tell about my shopping experiences leading up to and after Christmas.   1) I go to Best Buy to pick up a couple DVDs for my brother for Christmas.  I get there at about 12:15 and I need to be back to work for aContinue reading “Adventures in Retail”

This past weekend was my 9th in the series of card weekends where I get together with 7 friends from college to play cards and rip on each other.  We play the card game 500 which we played all the time in college (and I only play once per year now).  Each year we rotateContinue reading “500 Weekend #9”

My best friends throughout the years have always remained my friends from high school – Uggie, Brad and Kelly.  The first two are married and have two kids just about the same age as our kids.  We’ve always managed to stay in touch and we get together 8-15 times per year.  One thing we’ve startedContinue reading “Jazzy Fox & Super Sunday”

This weekend, we headed back to Becky’s home town of Onida South Dakota to see her family and to play one of the best private golf courses in America, Sutton Bay.  Take a look at this write-up for the perspective of Golf Digest – http://www.golfdigest.com/courses/critic/index.ssf?/courses/critic/suttonbay.html. Becky’s mom was nice enough to work with a localContinue reading “Sutton Bay”

On Saturday, I made the long trek to the Cities for Dave’s big bachelor party.  I must really be getting old if my baby brother is getting married this week.  We had the great fortune of holding the party at my other brother in-laws house.  To say their house is amazing is a bit ofContinue reading “Dave’s Bachelor Party”
