Happy 24th Kevin!!!

Happy birthday, Kevin! You will always be my best dude!

Fantasy Football mom

I’m sure it goes back further, but my earliest memories of my mom screaming shouts of encouragement at the TV were when I was about 12. That would be around 1967. (Yeah, I’m old, shut up.) And it was ALL about the Green Bay Packers. Don’t ask me why. I don’t know that she has [...]

Labor (Day Weekend) of Love

It was our first trip back to Toledo since we have all moved down to NC, and I think we made the most of it!

Our first stop was to visit Ginny in Cincinnati. We bought her an area rug for her birthday for her apartment living room, so we brought it with us from Winston [...]

Sunday Scenery – via nephew Ben

This awesome picture comes from my nephew, Ben, who is an accomplished and creative photographer. He has a wonderful eye! And that is coupled with a wanderlust that has taken him to many unique and out of the way corners of the world.

This shot was taken at his current place of employment, as a scuba [...]

Happy Father’s Day!

2nd Round Madness

Well, an exciting round 2, and I’m shocked I’m still on the board. #7 out of 20.

I am still in a suspended state of disbelief that Wake Forest lost in round 1. I can’t accept the humiliating way that turned out. When I get back to Winston-Salem, I might just have to stop at Wake [...]

Round One Madness!!

Thrilling and agonizing! This may be as good as it gets for me, #2 out of 20 in The Crotte Family Hoops Pool as of the end of the first round! You’d think I’m on a roll, but my most important pick LOST in the first round!!! Arrrggghhh!!!

My home team!! The [...]
