3D Glasses and Playing Hookie
3D Glasses, Popcorn, and an Afternoon with Gabby Working on Saturday has never been a favorite of mine. Being a glass-half-full kinda guy, I look for the good things and hold on to them tightly. When I work on Saturdays, we flex time out. That means that I get to feel like I’m playing hookie on a weekday afternoon. I abruptly remember by Saturday morning why I should not feel guilty. This week I was scheduled to … Read entire article »

Kids in the Park
Kids in the Park We took the kids to the park the other weekend. The weather was awesome. That cool crispness of spring. The flowers everywhere and the smell of cut grass. They had a blast. (and so did we). We got to show off our parenting teamwork (or the lack thereof) when Evan realized our “park time” had cut into “meal time”. Peas and Rice…. Everywhere. … Read entire article »

Are you adding a note or a person? // Are you adding a note or a person? // iNo Ninos En La Canasta! No Children in Basket! She’s really is a mild mannered kid. No seriously.

That Day at the Beach
I’ll never forget that day at the beach. It was Gabby’s first time going. We had spent the weekend with my dad in Jacksonville. We wanted to take Gabby to the beach. Pop wasn’t feeling like the beach so we took her on our way home. She was crawling, but I think walking was still in the future. She had this little white bathing suit with cherries on it. … Read entire article »

Worth the Wait? | Cheddars Restaurant Review
It must be tradition for the Augustan people by now. Every time a new restaurant opens that is good, it is packed for the 1st couple of months. What I don’t understand (at first glance) is why the Cheddars on Walton Way Ext is still packed and has a 45 minute wait as soon as the doors open at 11:30AM each day that grows to 1:45 minute wait for dinner. The food is excellent and the service … Read entire article »

Now Augusta has close to 500,000 people in the Metro Area, but no re-certification centers. So I HAVE TO drive to a town made up of 50,000 students that has tons of wings and beer to get re-certified. So I decided to leave Augusta the night before … Read entire article »

Dominos is All New? Read This…
It’s been 12 years since I’ve ordered a Dominos pizza. We use to order 1 once a week when I was a kid. I can still remember the number (229-247-6341) from the Dominos in Valdosta GA. I saw the new ad and decided after working all day, coming home to Amber being sick, and having nothing left to give that I’d give the Dominoes in Grovetown GA a try. They were nice. They were fast. The price … Read entire article »
