A few days ago I received a nice email from my aunt. Part of it read: Funny…I am in my room and Madison just came running in. “Hurry, turn on 110.3 FM. Cousin Brian’s song is on!!!” I turn it on and start laughing, because of course
Cole is quite a fun boy to be around. Since I run my business mostly from home, I get to take Cole breaks during the day to play with my son. I consider it one of the best perks of my job. Cole has four things that fill up most

A short list of thoughts: * I think that the whole world eats toast the wrong way. Try eating it with the butter side down. If you’re going to get the calories anyway, let your taste buds have that butter bath. * What is it about the Beach Boys music that
A popular gift for Christmas is always a gift card. I received a few this year and I look forward to using them. Stores love selling gift cards because so many of them go unused. So, your friend or family member gave the store $40 for the gift card, and
Cole is fast approaching 6 months. He is playful and kind. He smiles within 15 seconds of waking up and doesn’t stop all day. (I think he gets that from Candace.) Click on the image below to watch a short clip Cole talking and laughing with his mom.
I wish they’d solve the Holloway case soon. Each time I open up CNN it seems like I’m looking into a mirror from a few years ago . The “you look like…” emails have been pouring in. Don’t they know, if it was me in the picture the
Candace and I went to the James Taylor concert on Saturday night. It was a nice evening. As usual, Candace looked beautiful. As we were wading in the Mandalay Bay of Immodesty , she stood out as a woman of value and morals and that makes me adore her more. Before
Every once and a while a blogger just needs to throw up a post of random thoughts. None of these are worthy of posts on their own, but maybe they are interesting enough collectively. * I always get a little nervous when I pull onto a city highway and don’t
Last night, Candace threw a super halloween party for our family. I think she officially became the Halloween Queen with all of her eyeball desserts and with finger cookies. Hopefully she’ll share her secrets on her blog. I was only in charge of the photos. The Stucki Pirates My
Cole turns four months old today. Everyday it gets more and more fun to be with him. Candace and I feel incredibly lucky to have such a pleasant child. I love that he is observant and patient with the world around him. Yesterday we took him to the park. We
Last night I went to sleep with a canker sore in my mouth that hurt so bad it seemed to define my existence. Today, I woke up and it was all healed. I had completely forgotten about it until I saw the numbing medicine on the counter. Two months ago
Candace and I were so excited to watch the Red Sox win the AL East pennant on Friday night. Once they won their game, we were waiting on every pitch to see if the Yankees were going to lose. As soon as they did, it clinched the division for Boston.
At the beginning of the football season, Candace surprised Cole and me with some new Oklahoma Sooners gear. We were so excited. Next week, Oklahoma plays Texas in one of the biggest rivalries in college football. This one is especially exciting since both teams are in the top ten. Well,
I feel like it is my duty to let everyone know that James Taylor has announced a tour for the western half of the United States. The dates are slowly coming together, though he’s already announced the date in Las Vegas will be on November 10th at the Mandalay
I’m very meticulous on managing memories. I think it’s a very important thing to do. I guess my thought has always been “If you plan to live a life worth talking about then be sure the story can be told.” Computers make organization much easier than it has
I’ve had a lot of emails about my post on finances a few days ago. Since money is obviously an issue of interest for everyone, I thought I’d share one more tip. For the last few weeks, I’ve been a beta-tester for Mint. Mint allows you to
