Bring on the Hot Stove

The off-season for the Yankees is almost always as exciting as the season itself. There has already been a whirlwind of speculation, coaching changes, free agent talk and trade rumors. With A-Rod heading off into the sunset in search for higher paychecks and less wins he leaves behind a hole I am excited [...]

Shaking the Dust Off My Cleats

I hate the Red Sox. Hate is not a strong enough word. However, I tip my cap to the 2007 World Series Champs. They were the best team in baseball (by far) this season.
What I hate even more than the Red Sox is the way A-Rod and his agent [...]

Living Up to the Skype

I usually stay current with new technology and where it is heading but I am way behind on Skype. I made my very first Skype call today with Brent Foulke. For the handful of people who are there who are even further behind than me, Skype basically allows you to make calls from [...]

My Bad

A couple weeks ago, Jose and Nicole Lopez (friends from Indy), stayed with us for a few days. I had heard a lot about the grand opening of Ikea 15 minutes north of us and asked if they wanted to go and check it out. They did.
We made the drive and [...]

Several members of my family are coming down to visit this week. My sister Daria, her husband Dave and my two-year old neice, Reagan are flying in this afternoon and I can’t wait to see them. Daria and I were very close growing up. Daria taught me living as a Christ follower [...]

Not only is she taking care of the external communication (brochures, websites, enews) but she has been doing things above and beyond her job description as a “part-time” employee of the church (all this on top of her role as [...]

I came prepared wearing my Edgerrin James Colts jersey.

I Made the Herald!

A few weeks ago I blogged about my new interest in boxing. Shortly after that blog, the Miami Herald showed up at one my classes to interview Danny Santiago, an accomlished boxer nicknamed “The Bronx Bomber,” who recently fought on ESPN’s The Contender. Danny was telling me how he grew up across the [...]

Blast from the Past

I was flipping through the channels tonight and saw the episode of The Weakest Link I was on. The show seems so dated now but it had a nice little run back in the early 2000’s. Anne Robinson was a trip and she made me look like a moron several times but I [...]
