By the way, this is what Macy looked like when we got there - she woke up just in time to [...]

It’s been a busy few weeks! I was sick for like a week and a half - I was only down for a couple days, but I felt pretty gnarly the whole time. Anyway, I missed blogging a few things and just thought I’d catch up.

Last week my dad turned 60! I know, that’s pretty [...]

This is a new blog series that I’m going to work through.

Oh how I would get my mouth washed out with soap 25 years ago! But our boy, Miles has been in Taekwondo for the past month or so and is making some cool progress. Since Rich posted this, I had post this! Miles, we’re so proud of you!

Last week was the Miramar Airshow. I took Miles there two years ago and he loved it so I called up my good buddy, Chris, to see if he wanted to go. We ended up meeting down there for a great afternoon of brain numbing jet engines! I brought Miles and his sister, Macy - [...]

Last month me and my brother inlaw were hanging out with John Mayer when this happened:
