Yesterday when I got home from work - Drew was excited to tell me about these ‘Resurrection Eggs’ he had from school.  It was funny because he kept saying ‘Daddy - come see my SOMETHING eggs’ but I couldn’t make out what that something was.  Sarah finally told me what he was saying.  So Alyssa, [...]

First of all… My brackets are DONE.  I’m left with only 1 team in the Final Four even though I did pick Ohio St. to win it all.  Wisconsin dissappointed me tremendously showing why many thought they were overrated to begin with.  UCLA I had losing in the 2nd round and they put a whoopin [...]

Finished my first fantasy baseball draft of the year last week.  It was good but took forever (as usual).  This is the league I’m in with co-workers at Cat.  It started at like 8:00 PM and didn’t end until 11:30 PM.  Yikes!  I was pleased with the results:
My Keepers:

Was a great weekend to be outside. Saturday the temperature was nice but it was a bit rainy. That didn’t keep me from running though. I had a nice 3+ mile run in the rain - and believe it or not - it was very refreshing. Was just nice to get [...]

Thursday night Sarah and I went out to Manito for the Doo Wop Diner community musical.  Why?  My brother Randy had a nice role in the production and we wanted to support him.  The cast ranged from little 4th grade girls, many highschoolers, college kids, community members and more.
They did a great job with all [...]
