Basketball season is upon us once again. This season, seems shorter than last season…thankfully! Last season we did a lot of driving around in the bitter cold with lots of snow on the ground! This year David is doing so much better. He’s understanding the mechanics and nuances of the game much better and [...]

You’ve heard the old joke, “What are the 3 most important things to know about real estate?”, right? Yep, location, location, location. You want to know what the 3 most important things are when navigating your child through their education? Question, question, question. Only, I’m not joking.

Where to start? Hmmm. So our house is physically put together, the walk-through was done on Friday, and I have house keys…four to be exact. Four separate house keys; a different one for each doorknob lock and each deadbolt. When a “model” house is built for a showroom, they just slap knobs and deadbolts on [...]

As the parent of a child who has been picked on and taunted, it was so very [...]

David’s Spring Concert was last night. This is video of the choir singing his and my favorite song, “Sing with Jubilation” by Jerry Estes. The choir sang a total of 8 songs with one being a “Suite” of four songs called “Four Seasons” – no relation to Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons”. Then the Guitar group came [...]

“WARNING, Will Robinson, WARNING!! DANGER!! DANGER!!” Rant ahead…whining, complaining, kavetching rant ahead. I think I’ve mentioned before that my son’s school really doesn’t have much in the way of parking. Primarily it’s street parking along the perimeter of the school. This year, it seems, that there are more, a record number, of parents driving their [...]
