A quick insight to my world, 500 words (or less) at a time!
If you know me, then you know how much I’ve enjoyed becoming deeply passionate about the game of hockey. Five years ago, I could have probably named you just two players that played in the NHL at one time. I probably would have told you that both were still playing, although one retired in 1999…
When I started watching hockey religiously in the 2011-12 season, I would have never dreamed that I would be playing hockey one day. Actually, it had never crossed my mind. I didn’t even realize that they had beer leagues for adults. About a year ago, some friends started playing in a beer league. I went…
It’s that time of year again. I hope to be chasing that little white ball around courses pretty frequently this summer. Here is my first of the season and I’m still trying to break that elusive 100. My goal for the summer and fall is to drop my average score to 95 a round. …
A lot of people will be celebrating today on the lake or at cookouts with friends and family. I am one of them. A lot of people look at Memorial Day as the start of summer. But what is truly is, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service to the…
I received a “Happy Anniversary” card in the mail yesterday from the Nashville Humane Association. Has it really been a year since I adopted this adorable puppy? Apparently it has been. I picked her up a year ago at the Bridgestone Arena prior to the Nashville Predators/Chicago Blackhawks game. I adopted Zoey before the game…
Almost fourteen years ago, I made a decision that completely changed my life. Two years earlier I made a decision that would have me bouncing around from job to job. Dropping out of college was definitely not the best idea, but as a young newlywed, with a baby on the way, I did what I…
It’s that time of year again! Basketball is just tipping off. Hockey is gliding along. Football is in mid-season form. And baseball is rounding third and heading home. Turkey Day is just around the corner and Santa’s big visit will be here before you know it. Cancer awareness is at an all-time high. It seems…
Took some time today to hit my home course. I started on the back nine by request of the club house. I normally hate starting the back nine just because of the typical disastrous outcome. Today was no different. I lost a sleeve of balls on hole number ten and was eight over par after…
There are some family traditions that you just look forward to more than others. I never look forward to family reunions. I do, however, love spending time with the Kiddo during his Christmas break and the times we hit a local golf course. But I guess my favorite family tradition started just a few years…
Just like any other employer, the Tennessee Army National Guard gives me paid time off (PTO). Over the course of any given year, I receive ten Federal holidays and around four administrative days. I also receive 2.5 days of annual leave per month totaling thirty days a year. That is 44 days a year that…
