I love spending time with my kids. Corvin is in town for a bit between college and house sitting. Today, he was willing to spend some time with me. We started by going to Jos A Banks to get him some dress shirts for an upcoming wedding. We walked in in t-shirt and gym shorts. … Continue reading “An Evening With Corvin – 5/26/2026”
Just a week ago, we saw Corvin graduate and moved his stuff home. Just a week later, I’m back at U-Haul renting another trailer. This time, its to take Sonora to her first college apartment. She was already in Springfield for work, meaning we packed her stuff without her. Then Danelle, Corvin, and I drove … Continue reading “Sonora’s First Apartment – 5/23/2026”
Danelle, Sonora, and I packed up the car and headed up to La Crosse, Wisconsin to see Corvin graduate college. He was going to graduate with 2 majors in 4 years, quite the accomplishment. We arrived and quickly checked into our VRBO. Other than the creepy dead animal theme, it was acceptable. It didn’t take … Continue reading “Corvin’s Graduation – 5/15/2026”

This year it was held in Gulfport, … Continue reading “USA Triathlon Collegiate Club Nationals – 3/28/2026”
Spring break started out with a small logistics problem. The hybrid battery on Corvin’s car died. The car would drive, but the dash was lit up with about every warning light it has. It was under warranty, but they would not honor the warranty unless the car was in St. Louis. Ultimately, we rented a … Continue reading “Spring Break – 3/13/2026”
Cold months generally have us indoors. This may be reflected by the number of photos we took of the cats. While Sonora was home, we replaced the headlights on her car. It was a bit involved taking several things apart to get to it, but Sonora was up for the challenge. Hogan Haake
Sometimes the cards just fall into place. In our case, Corvin’s car started having issues with the hybrid battery. We had the battery replaced once already. We started thinking that the car was getting older and maybe it was time to get him a newer car. The wheels turned and before we knew it, we … Continue reading “A New Car – 2/18/2026”
