Home repairs are a never ending chore. Sometimes you can wait a bit longer, but eventually maintenance is just required. We’ve been in our house for 13 years now and got it new.

Corvin wanted to take his girlfriend on a date. He chose bowling. Since he’s not 16, he needed a ride. The whole family plus his date went. They got a separate lane and did their own thing while Danelle, Sonora, and I bowled on our lane. Danelle getting ready to roll a strike!

I purchased tickets from CineConcerts to see the St. Louis Symphony play “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”. The jest of this is that the movie is played on a large screen while the orchestra plays the musical score of the movie live in front of us. We also took Danelle’s parents with … Continue reading “Harry Potter at the Symphony – 4/14/2019”
Corvin had a track meet at Kirkwood High School. His grandparents live a few blocks from the school. We parked the car at their house and walked back to the house. For this meet he was in the first (4x800m), middle (1600m), and last (3200m) events. That meant that we would be there for the … Continue reading “Kirkwood Track Meet – 3/27/2019”

I got a top box for my motorcycle and tried to install it. With the bike up on a stand, I found out that the mounting hardware wasn’t the right size. I have not decided what to do, but it still isn’t installed. And when I took the bike off the stand, I knocked it … Continue reading “January – 2019”
We had a large snow storm hit St. Louis and I decided it would be fun to go out driving in the snow. Corvin was excited to join me as he also wanted to drive in the snow. I picked a decent sized street and started heading west. I had an idea where we might … Continue reading “Snow and the Wrong House! – 1/11/2019”
We celebrated New Years at Kelly and Jeff’s house this year. Jake looks stumped. Somehow I convinced Kelly that the mess wouldn’t be too bad for this party toy… Sonora got Maggie to spend the night, so when we went home, we took Maggie with us. Then Maggie and Sonora went ice skating. Seems like … Continue reading “New Years – 1/1/2019”
