Wow. You know, I have often mentioned here on this blog how busy we are. We just really, really are. That is about to change. We are restructuring some things in life. Learning from past choices (not bad choices necessarily, just choices…) and deciding to do things a bit differently. On Tuesday morning, we were…

Today is an anniversary. 12/23. Not all that significant… but perhaps it is? We have now had an account with our bank, Canandaigua National Bank & Trust, for 8 years. Since 1996. Yes, that is mostly insignificant, but just thought I’d pass along that little bit of trivia. And, a recommendation of a cool local…

Can you believe that?! McDonald’s food will make you fat!!! Really! I’m serious! 🙂 We watched the movie SuperSize Me with some friends a couple weeks ago, and it was actually pretty funny. The whole idea is that a guy who is in very good physical shape wanted to see if he could prove that…

Just wanted to share a photo of us with Santa at WalMart last Saturday 🙂

He said, “I just wanted you to know you guys were great.” I said, “Thanks!”, not really expecting anything further. He quickly followed with, “And…

I have been noticing again that we are really good at recognizing sin… in others. We are so good at seeing what is wrong in our neighbor. And in a way, that’s not bad. Wrong is wrong. But the problem is, we see the wrong and say, “I can’t believe they did that!” when the…

“I just can’t wait to be king….” A familiar tune. You may be singing it right now? 🙂 From the Lion King, where Simba longs for the day when no one will tell him what to do, HE will be doing the telling… the ordering around. I was noticing today that I like to be…

After starting the season 0-4, then 2-6, our Bills are making a season of it! Yesterday they won their 3rd straight game, and 2nd straight on the road. And in convincing fashion! They are 6-2 in their last 8. Amazing. And fun! It’s just fun to see your team doing well. Two weeks ago (Nov…
