Tales of my life as told by me.

  • Bouncy Ball in the Bathtub

    Harvey likes bouncing a bouncy ball around the empty bathtub after his baths. It’s like a wild race track ride for the ball, and makes for lots of laughs.

  • Thanksgiving and Christmas Tree 2015

    We build Lincoln log towers and had Thanksgiving supper at the John and Nancy Fruit & Nut Farm and then capped the day with gingerbread house decorating at Grandma and Grandpa R’s. Harvey and Carson’s house won, “most creative.” Katy and Taylor took home the “decorating excellence” award for the second straight year.

    On Friday, we found three perfect Christmas trees (for each of our respective houses) and then proceeded to decorate the whole house.

    I went to the UM v OSU game on Saturday, and explored campus with Zack. It’s changing more and more, and the feeling of “it was just yesterday” is fading a bit.

  • Harvey’s Hems

    Harvey likes to hold hems . . . his own or anyone else’s. Feeling the texture of the thread and shirt edge must be a tactile comfort.

    A reminder for our memories.

  • University of Michigan – My First Website – Archive

    The following content is from my first website, which I created while at the University of Michigan . . . sometime in 2003 or 2004. They are taking the web hosting offline as of October 30, 2015, so I’m posting the content here to save it.

    From the page of the website titled, “GOLF THOUGHTS”:

    I started golfing when I was nine years old. My dad took me to the local junior golf lesson camp and I was instantly hooked. The next year I played in a few nine hole tournaments, which was fun except for having to talk to the other kids in the group. Eventually, the interest grew into obsession and throughout high school I ate, breathed and played golf. Golf is more casual now, though I plan to play in a few tournaments this upcoming summer.

  • The Devils Dive 5k

    Lindsey and I ran the Devil’s Dive 5k on Old Mission Peninsula this morning. I finished in 32 minutes; she, just under 38. It was a beautiful, cool, windy morning. The views of West Bay were a treat and almost completely distracted me from the  tough uphill finish.

  • Saturday Adventures

    Fire station open house with G’ma Robbi, G’pa Terry, Aunt Katy, Uncle Taylor, me and the boys.

       
     

    Corn maze and line dancing with G’ma Peg, G’pa Dan, Kathy & Doug, Farm G’ma, Marge & Lee, mom, dad, and the boys. Harvey loved running through the maze.
