Blog

Back in my days in radio, I used to write a blog for the Steve and DC website called “What I Think I Know.”  Every Sunday I would write a few hundred words about something that hit me that week.  Topics ranged all over the board, from how sucky it gets going to a grocery [...]

So when I was diagnosed with cancer almost eleven years ago, I had no idea what would await me on my journey.  At the end of that journey, I had no idea what had just happened.  To be honest, it scared me a little bit.  I usually pride myself on being prepared for any situation [...]

So this morning I was helping Stephanie get our boys Sam and Ben ready for school.  In our part of the country, it’s a bit of a weird weather day.  When I let our dog out this morning, it was freezing.  Yet Steph said, “It’s supposed to be warm today.” So I turned on the [...]

So whenever I open Facebook, I see people who update each November day with a Thank You of some sort.  I, myself, don’t do this because I know I have neither the patience nor discipline to pull this off every single day. So on this day, the day before Thanksgiving of 2012, I’m going to [...]

So there I was in the drive-thru line, waiting.  I [...]

So as I write this, it officially Movember 2.  What’s Movember?  Movember is the movement where men grow moustaches to help raise funds and awareness for men’s health issues.  So when you see a ton of men around looking like 70’s porn stars, know that they are doing their part for the cause.  Unless they [...]

So if I were to begin to tell you about all of the quirky side effects that chemotherapy elicits during the struggle against cancer, you’d cry…and laugh.  But then if I were to tell you all of the stupid things that I ended up doing to myself during the struggle against cancer, you’d cry…and laugh…and [...]

He had stood there before, alone, his defense behind him, his destiny in front of him.  He processed the sound of almost fifty thousand united parts of a screaming mass urging him to fail.  His foe was the most ferocious hitter in the majors…a man capable of turning a dominant outing into the answer to [...]
