2024/11/29 11:00 Fun day at the Zoo.
2024/12/10 17:00 Adison: Sadly, our team fell in a heart-pounding game that came down to the final seconds, with a score of 24-18. Though the outcome wasn’t what we hoped for, we couldn’t be prouder of how hard our boys fought and everything they’ve accomplished this season.
Hold your heads high, Falcons—you’ve made us all proud! Enjoy the rest of your time in Florida—you’ve earned it! [🏈] [💪]

2024/11/27 15:00 A second yard of crushed stone. Took five days for me to move the first load.

When November hits, you realize the squirrels were onto something with all that hoarding.

Years ago when my daughter was little I gave her this stuffed animal. It has been passed down to her daughter, my granddaughter. My little Abigail has named the stuffie Tiki. Sleep tight.
2024/11/23 15:00 Elliott's team, the Cicero Falcons, lose their game in Pennsylvania in the final few seconds.
2024/11/16 10:30 We are headed to Rochester. If Elliott's team wins today next game is in Pennsylvania.
2024/12/07 11:30 Winter stinks. I hate it. Doesn't seem to bother the kids too much as they play on the trampoline.
2024/12/01 23:00 I am not ready for winter. I checked and Winter does not care.
2024/12/07 14:00 Elliott is in Florida for the Pop Warner Super Bowl. They just beat a team from California 19-12 to advance in the playoffs.
Birthday girl.
2024/11/25 10:00 I was driving with my two oldest grandkids. Brother and sister, they were bantering as always. Arguing about something from a video game Alice said, “Tristan what you are saying is baloney. It is so much baloney I could make sandwiches and feed a village.”
2024/12/10 07:45 Adison: Today is for redemption [💚] [💙] Let's go Cicero!!! One more win and Elliott and his team get to play in the National Championship!
2024/12/12 11:30 Grant and Abigail have been staying with us while their Mom and brother are in Florida for football. I drive them to school in the morning and pick them up when school is out. Abigail gets to have her hair done.
We have been watching Christmas shows at night. We watched “Emmett Otter’s Jug Band Christmas”. It is a cute tale (maybe a nod to “The Gift of the Magi” by O. Henry). There is a band of delinquents and ne’er-do-wells; the river bottom “Nightmare Band”. My favorite lyrics from the miscreants:
“We don't wish to learn
But we hate what we don't understand”.
The weather has been miserable. It has been cold with a lot of rain the last couple of days. Today it is much colder. The doors on the van were frozen this morning and the kids had to climb over the front seat. I suspect that it is not going to get any better any time soon.
2024/11/24 13:00 Abigail's birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese.
2024/12/10 13:00 Elliott's team the Cicero Falcons are in Flprida. They lost today in the final 5 seconds. Really close game. They made it to within 1 game of the national championship. Great season.
2024/12/11 11:00 Got our Christmas tree yesterday. Alice has been our tree elf carrying the tree to our van in years past. This year she is continuing the tradition but with some help from little tree elves in training cousin Abigail and cousin Grant.

2024/12/08 18:00 Last night I watched the 1964 Christmas classic “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” with my grandkids Grant and Abigail. It features the song “There’s Always Tomorrow For Dreams to Come True”. I used to believe that was true. I wish I still did. Now I know dreams die first. That’s not as sad as it sounds. If you don’t want to be completely miserable you have to adjust to smaller plans, smaller goals, smaller dreams.
This is the latest iteration of my rants, rambles, and ravings. What, if anything matters? I am sure I will be sharing too much. I am most likely as weird as I have ever been. I am sure that I am still incredibly boring. If you decide to keep reading and you feel later that you wasted your time I don’t think I will be sorry. It was your decision to read on and I do not feel responsible.
