Weekend Travel Notes
It was Adult Fall Break time for S and me, the first time we’ve done this in a couple years. This was for a medical conference, the first time we’ve done that since before Covid. We spent Thursday through Sunday in Clearwater Beach, FL, staying right on the beach. Like in a hotel, not in a tent or something. The…
Weekend Notes
What a weekend, filled with swings of mood and weather. KANSAS FOOTBALL!!!!!!! Kansas 38, Oklahoma 33. LET’S GOOOOOO!!!!! One of the biggest wins in program history. That alone would make Saturday’s win over the #6 Sooners memorable. It just had so much of…everything, I guess, that no KU fan who watched it will ever forget it. This feels like a…
Weekend Notes
It was a pretty good fall break/long weekend around our house. It included another trip to Cincinnati, a new family toy, and a variety of news on the high school sports front. Let’s dive into the details. CHS Fall Break C and L were off Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for their fall break. L had basketball practice all three days…
Weekend Notes
Another very good weekend that was focused on travel, football, and friends. For the second time in three weeks I left Indianapolis to attend a Big 12 football game. This trip was to Cincinnati to watch M’s Bearcats take on Iowa State. Making the trip even better, I would be hanging with my buddy, Super Clone Fan #1 Sean, and…
Weekend Notes
Going to flip things up a bit, as our family had a rough week that’s worth getting caught up on first. Squad News Monday M got diagnosed with mono. She’s been sick for weeks and it took a turn last weekend, so she went and got checked. She told us she could see the test turn positive from across the…
Labor Day Weekend Notes
It wasn’t that long ago when Labor Day weekends were big, involved deals for us. When we were lake house owners, that would always be the last blowout of the year. Lots of friends or family down for two final days of floating, swimming, boating and fun. We’ve backed off that pace quite a bit and these weekends are much…
Friday Football Notes
A rare Friday post about something other than music promoted by the beginning of college football and an interesting night at a high school game earlier this week. KU Football I was thinking last night that there have been very few falls in my life when KU fans were genuinely excited about the coming football season. I’m talking about the…
Weekend Notes
Even down a kid, it was a pretty busy week. Although some of that activity was due to the missing kid. Jinxed Myself I mentioned in last week’s post that I was off the hook for driving to/from school for awhile. Well, not so fast… C got rear-ended leaving campus by another student on Monday. No injuries, thankfully. Her car…
Weekend Notes
Lots of lasts and firsts over the past seven days. Let’s see if I can get through them all without getting too wordy or emotional. First Week at CHS L had her traditions orientation last Sunday evening and then a half-day schedule walk through on Wednesday before Cathedral began the school year on Thursday. When we picked her up from…
Weekend Notes
No major events from the weekend to share. We were busy, though. The weekend was all about preparing to be social then actually being social around the pool. Saturday night we had L’s basketball team over for a final get together to celebrate the season. Eight of the nine girls came and most of the parents hung out. The girls…
