Well, okay… Jingle Bell Run Most of It. As you, the seven people that have visited here the last few months, know, Ian spent much of the fall running on his school’s cross-country team. And doing very well, I might add. More than his running a...

Okay, first of all… we were told that the Jacksonville course Saturday was roughly 1.8 miles, so I figured Ian’s finish time would have been about 16:12, had the course been a full two miles. Still, that’s a pretty good race time. I mea...

Yesterday was a big ol’ invitational meet in Jacksonville (it’s about 30 miles west of Springfield, for those of you who ain’t from around here). Lots of schools involved. Grant, Washington, and Franklin from here in Springfield, but con...

Yesterday’s meet was a smaller meet at Lincoln Park. The schools represented were LMS, Franklin, Riverton, Athens, Christ the King, and Johns Hill, which, I’m told, is in (or near) Decatur. My mom and dad attended this meet. With my dad being ...

Today’s meet was at Lincoln Park. I wasn’t there for the beginning- and it killed me- but since Dawn’s only been to one meet so far, and I’ve been to all of them, I sent her and I picked up Adam at the bus stop and then broke sever...

Yesterday was an invitational meet in Franklin, IL. Hence the post title. There were [I'm guessing] in the neighborhood of 15-20 schools represented at this meet, including Grant, Glenwood, and St. Agnes/Blessed Sacrament from the Springfield area. ItR...

Okay, we all know Ian’s not going to break his best time every meet. He didn’t today- but he did today. Today’s meet was at Lincoln Park, hosted by LMS. There were several schools there, including Grant, Washington, Jefferson, Little Flo...

Meet number two was today at Lincoln Park. Ian said that his coach wanted all runners to try to cut 20 seconds off their times. Twenty seconds… in a cross-country race, twenty seconds is a friggin’ eternity. Like I explained to Ian: picture yo...

So today was Ian’s first cross-country meet. Okay, technically his second, but his first one was canceled last Thursday do to the heat being equivalent to that of… say… Alderaan’s those last few moments before it evaporated. It was...

Not THAT kind. I’m just not good at coming up with pithy puns for my post titles, like newspapers (especially the sports sections) do with their story headlines. This post isn’t about lower-intestinal problems, it’s about running. Actual...

Last year, the family took a vacation to North Carolina to visit the Earthshine Mountain Lodge. I wrote a post about it here. We had such a good time that we decided to go back again this summer. It was just as enjoyable this summer as it was last time. I...

Today is Ian’s last full day of school (technically, the kids get out an hour early, but they only go for 90 minutes on Monday–provided I decide to send them) as an elementary school student. I went to school today to see Ian’s author pr...

I’ve done a few charity events in my time. I’ve done the Bowl for Kids’ Sake, I’ve taken phone calls from donors for the Children’s Miracle Network telethon, and I’ve done quite a few trivia nights which have benefitted...

There is an old expression that says that eventually, we all become our parents. At what point does that occur, exactly Once we become parents ourselves Not only do we become the parents of our children in a physical sense, but somehow we transcendental...

Last night, the family got together for its fourth trivia night in about five weeks. And we won our fourth trivia night in a row. For those who don’t know, trivia nights are contests where teams of ten people, for $10 a person, compete against other...

I used to read a lot as a kid. Â Mom maintains to this day that I “taught myself to read” when I was 2, though I very seriously doubt that assertion. Be that as it may, I remember reading a lot as a youngling. However, once I got into high sch...

Okay, so this past weekend was Dawn’s company’s annual “management appreciation” weekend in St. Louis. Â I’ll spare the details, as that’s not important to this story. Â Suffice it to say that this year’s theme wa...

Do any of you give a damn about [potential] customers The storms we had in late June knocked a couple good sized limbs off the ash tree in my back yard, one of which came down on my deck and smashed my patio table and umbrella, though did not damage the ...

You ever have one of those times where your preconceived notions of something are proven totally wrong, and you’re okay with it  That’s what happened to me this past week while on vacation. When Dawn first told me she was going to take two w...

This past Sunday was a day not unlike most other Sundays when Dawn is working. Â The kids watch a little TV, go outside and ride bikes and scream at each other and fight, I work on laundry, and then Ian has piano lessons at 4:30. THIS particular Sunday wa...
