Hanging With Friends In Low Places
I love live music. Attending concerts is one of my favorite past-times. The excitement heading into the performance hall as the crowd anxiously anticipates the show, escalating up to the time of the opening act, then reaching a fever pitch once that act is done, there is nothing like it.

Pizza, Wine and Rock n’ Roll
My fifteen year old son decided months ago to procure himself a job in anticipation of the upcoming monthly expenses when he turns 16 and gets his driver’s license. Though it was very responsible on his part it sometimes puts a kink in our weekend evening plans since we have to take him to work…

Reigniting a Post-Thanksgiving Tradition
Many years ago when the kids were much younger we had a family tradition of attending the Dallas Stars hockey game each year on the Friday after Thanksgiving. However, as the years moved on my son went from playing recreation hockey to select travel hockey. That meant that literally every holiday throughout the year he…
