Well, as I mentioned on Friday, we were under a high alert for severe weather over the weekend. Fortunately, the weather did not get nearly as bad as predicted. We did get a lot of rain, and quite a few people sustained damage due to flooding, but the Oklahoma City metro didn’t get hit with any tornados over the weekend. However, that didn’t stop us from being prepared just in case. Stuff I Learned Yesterday Episode 281-Be Prepared

I am currently 39 years, 2 months, and 19 days old. I hope that I am currently only half as wise as I will be when I am twice my age. Although there are days when I go to bed and feel like I haven’t learned anything that day, most of my days do include learning something. I’ve even discovered that on days when I felt like I didn’t learn anything at all, I actually gained experience that will pay off down the road.
Even though I know I’m still young and have a lot to learn, there are some things that I am certain that I know with absolute certainty. Read More…

When I was 10 years old my family moved to Cornwall Ontario. It was a big adjustment for me moving to a city where I didn’t know anyone. My dad knew I loved watching hockey and he wanted me make new friends as well as learn how to skate. So to kill two birds with one stone, he enrolled me in the local hockey association’s house league. Read More…

Remember a few weeks ago when I tried my hand at making deep-dish Chicago style stuffed pizza? That was a fantastically delicious experiment. However, it definitely did not go as planned.
I don’t cook much, and I’ve never baked anything, so the idea of making pizza from scratch was a little bit daunting and a little bit exciting. The only tricky part seemed to be making the dough. I wasn’t worried about making the sauce or finding the right ingredients. So before I embarked on my pizza making journey, I did some research. Read More…

273- Childhood Milestones

Nobody ever said parenthood was easy. Just like everything else in life, there are ups and downs to raising children, and if you’re lucky the former outweighs the latter.
Along the road that is child rearing there are certain childhood milestones one may encounter. Your child’s first words, first solid foods, and of course first steps. There’s also a flip side to that, in your child’s first tantrum or first scraped knee.
Either way, these childhood milestones are something to be remembered, with laugh or sorrow, as stories of who they were at that time of their life.

Today’s story begins on the morning of April 13, 2015. I’m currently sitting comfortably at 45,000 feet above the earth as a highly trained Southwest Airlines pilot takes me from Oklahoma City to Las Vegas.
My day began when my alarm went off at 5:30am. For a guy that normally stays up until after midnight and sets the alarm for 7:45am, hearing that alarm this morning was not a welcomed sound. On top of that, it was raining. It was a nice steady rain, almost the kind that makes you want to stay in bed all day and just enjoy the dulcet sounds of raindrops meeting rooftop. If not for the occasional but steady clap of thunder and flash of lightning, the rain would have been perfect. Read More…
