Christmas 2015 has come and gone. It seems like there is so much preparation and stuph that goes into the event, only to have it zip past us so fast, we don't even realize that it is over. The other day I went into Starbucks, ordered my drink and got into the car feeling like …
A Six Year Old Kid…
I decided to check out my blog today, just to see what was up. In the corner was an icon I hadn't seen before (or it was so long ago, I didn't recognize it). It was a trophy... weird. I clicked on it, and was surprised with a "Happy Anniversary" message from WordPress... Kidstuph was …
A Father’s Day Retrospective
This is a little late, but still worth the post . Two weeks ago was Father's day. I don't know about all fathers, but for me, sometimes Father's day can be difficult. I don't live with my kids anymore, and they are grown, living their own lives and stuff. When I do see them I often go through …
Son of The Father
Out of all that was said, one thing stuck with me, and continues to ring in my head. My friend said, "I am honored to be the son of my father." Hearing those words stilled me... even reflecting on them now, they still do.
Rockin the Peacock…
Last Saturday, the sleepy town of Sunnyvale was awakened by the sounds of hip hop, and a lot more at the Peacock Lounge. Normally a sports bar with amenities such as pool tables and darts, as well as a great bar, on Saturday the Lounge was turned into a showcase of local hip hop talent from …
Memories and Tough Love
I wanted to do a Memorial Day post... well, I wanted to, and I didn't. This year it is different for me, having a son in the service. Over the past few months since he got back from training, we've had some interesting conversations about military service, deployment, and other such topics. When I came …
Important Stuph…
Yesterday, a friend of mine asked me to go walking. I really didn't want to, cuz I'd have to drive a long way, I'd get there late, blah, blah, blah, but I reluctantly consented. While I was driving there, I suddenly realized something that totally bummed me out... my favorite tv shows were on that …
Kid Stuph about kid stuph…
My daughter just got home last night from being half way around the world on a mission trip. She was so excited! I loved hearing the stories during the ride home. Some amazing things happened on the trip, and at some point I'm sure I will see the 2000 + pictures she took (no fooling... …
It’s all about Kid Stuph…
Some time ago, I was working out in the gym early in the morning. They had the big screens going, and I really wasn't paying too much attention to them, but something on CNN caught my eye. Maybe because it was out of the ordinary for CNN (or at least what I thought CNN would be …
“Why” is the question… “What” is the answer…
 When my daughter was about 5 years old, we stopped into a fast food place. Next to us in line was a young guy, early 20's, leathered up with a spikey mohawk.  To see that now is no big deal - I see 8 year olds sporting the Do, but then it was pretty risque'. Anyway, …
