2010 Miami Triathlon Report
It is once again that time of year – time for another triathlon report from TPMHTDM! I know my faithful readers have been waiting for a full report, and while I will attempt to blame external forces, the delay in the writeup for this race is mostly due to laziness. As always, you may also…

Day of Good Deeds!
Okay so I know it’s been awhile for TPMHTDM. Like Carolyn has said – facebook is killing my blog. (Softly. With its song) But Saturday was my “Day of Good Deeds!” As you will see if you read on, it proved to be a good deeds day of mixed success. The day started out like…

In which I was mocked for recycling
First off, I know Carolyn has mentioned this already, but Facebook really does seem to be killing my blog. I guess that’s the way things go – always something “newer” and “better”. Take email – to someone my age or even a bit younger, email is the way to go to communicate things. Someone older…

2009 Staycation, Part 4
Part 4 of the Great 2009 Staycation (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3). Sorry for the delay in getting this up, but I have finally gotten around to it. So, Tuesday, we originally were going to head downtown, but for various reasons, it didn’t work out great. So instead we just took kind of…

But it wasn’t so much relaxing since we had tons of shopping, cleaning, packing and preparing for our weekend trip up to Cleveland! Friday we got up early (well normal…

2009 Staycation, Part 1
So we have been planning a “staycation” here in and around town for awhile, and this past week we started it off. First off was a Reds game on Tuesday night. It rained pretty much the entire day and it was not looking good for a game, but about 5:00 p.m. the clouds lifted and…

An interesting perspective on parenting
So, I had an interesting thought on a different perspective on parenting while sitting in Priesthood class last week at church. Within the past few weeks, Carolyn and I were talking about our kids (of course). And Carolyn was mentioning how you can’t treat kids as “little adults”. Meaning, that you think that you can…

$100 in coins!!!!!!
So as many of you are undoubtedly aware, for the past year or so (okay, okay, it’s been exactly 380 days according to my nerdy detailed spreadsheet), I have been trying to find $100 in coins. Well, actually it started out being just coins but I expanded it to just any found money. I went…

Fathers Day 2009
So I thought I would share some things I got for Fathers Day. Of course not the big chocolate candy bars that I got at church – I’m not sharing those! Well, actually come to think of it I did share them with Carolyn. But they’re gone now. Anyways…. A few comments. The first one…
