It was a day of unparalleled heroism, unspeakable loss, desperate unity, and….. family.

Technically it’s not my office, but I do work here. Any guess as to what my “day job” is?

This is the final post from the opening night of our local high school’s marching band/football season.

As promised, here is a very special and delightful football fan from last Friday’s season opener. She totally has the cute market cornered and made my night!

For this post (and perhaps the next): a little slice of home town life. As Summer makes preparations for Fall to arrive, and school hallways are filled with students, the fields come alive with football teams and, our favorite, marching band! This was taken at tonight’s home opener. It is senior year for our youngest son and we are looking forward to a great year of Friday night games and competitions.
