It seemed that my 5 day weekend was a couple weeks long. When your sports teams don't win, the time can almost seem forever. First my Kanas State Wildcats didn't finish so well in the Old Spice Tournament in Florida. The snagged a fourth place finish. The football team did worse by loosing Saturday. The Jayhawks started ...

I just celebrated my last birthday this past weekend. While my wife and kids went to the parties sponsored by family members, I stayed home. Instead of hitting the birthday party circuit and jet skiing, I wasted my time in bed recovering from the flu. I got some pretty cool gifts and the cards gave me a chuckle. My mother-in-law gave me a card ...

If you are considering going to a water park and you are pondering whether you should go to White Water or Oceans of Fun, read this before you decide. In my decision making process I considered area, price and family fun. I have been to both and hands down my family and I like White Water much more than we did Oceans of Fun.

My trip to Branson with my family was fun and action packed. The first two days we stayed in a cabin close to Table Rock Lake. The first day we took out a pontoon boat and our sea doo. We pulled each other on the tubes, did a lot of swimming and cruised the lake. After a couple days of fun in the sun on Table Rock Lake, we moved our adventure to ...

I planned on camping at the lake this weekend with my boys and some friends; however, that was scratched after driving through the park. The water at some spots was 25-30 feet above normal. The water covered all of the sand beaches and covered up most of the ...

Chandler's first game on his new team was cancelled this evening due to rain and tornado warnings. Hopefully, CJ's game tomorrow is right on schedule. Tonight we went to Zio's Restaraunt. They have changed their menu. The meal tonight was awesome!

I have an idea! I keep getting these e-mails saying that I just won a million dollars. Actually, I just received an e-mail that I will receive 27 million dollars. All I need to do is deposit $5,555 in a bank account. Seems pretty easy, doesn't it? Great rate of return. I plan on using the money to help first time home buyers buy homes. Now ...

Soon after the Kansas Jayhawks just finished their second round thumping of the University of Kentucky Wildcats, my wife began yelling and my guest and I ran downstairs. My 14 month old daughter went from being a KU cheerleader to a sick child. She hurled her milk a couple of times so my wife wanted me to grab a couple things at the Gardner ...
