I would have gotten killed if I didn’t put this post up. It actually should have gone up before the Eamus Catuli one… But my weekend of baseball started Thursday night at Kauffman Stadium right here in Kansas City. Ashlee Reid and I (famous from the JW Discussion Board and instigator in my buying a Toshiba Pocket PC) went to that game against the White Sox (the Royals kicked their butts – for the last time ?!?!) The fun part for me is that Ashlee and I can talk the talk of baseball. It’s awesome. She loves the sport, is … Continue reading
Most people probably have no idea what “Eamus Catuli” means… but if you’re a Northside Chicago fan, you have no doubt. Northside Chicago fan? you might say… I’m talking a Chicago Cubs fan.

The project, perhaps the largest Design/Build project in Kansas City right now at a residential property, will be … Continue reading

I’m not sure why – I mean I know why – it’s called this little job I have. But there are deeper questions out there that are plaguing me right now. I feel I have some major decisions to make. And I know what they … Continue reading
This morning, while I was getting ready to go to the office, I started crying in the shower thinking about sitting on the edge of my bed watching the biggest tragedy of my young life unfold in front of my eyes two years ago.
