Dear Mom, Happy Mother’s Day 2011! I tried to write another sappy “You’re the Best!” Mother’s Day letter but I think I’ve told you every year about how much I love you. You really are the best and, as much as people think it’s a joke, I’m very proud to tell people, “I’m my Mother’s [...]

Remembering UJ
Posted in Easter, Family, UJ on April 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Easter is upon us! The most underrated holiday of the year – seriously St. Patrick’s Day gets more pub than Easter – is often overshadowed by a giant rabbit that lays eggs! Oh boy! As a Christian this holiday should be just as important as Christmas yet I don’t get a day off from work [...]

Happy Halloween to everyone out there! I won’t be participating in any festivities this year because I work both jobs tonight. Nine to 6pm at job No. 1, 8pm to 11:30pm for job No. 2. Halloween will forever remind me of the kick arse time my brothers, Wes and I had in 2002 when we [...]
A Long Time Ago… – April 4, 2008

I’ve started, then stopped, then started, then … you get the point … numerous blog entries since the last time I posted on March 6. I wanted to tell you about how excited I was that the NCAA tournament and March Madness how arrived. I wanted to tell you about how I forgot to take [...]
Valentine’s Day ’08 – Feb 14, 2008
Posted in Holidays, Valentine's Day on February 15, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone out in the blogging world. Valentine’s Day is always a funny “holiday” for me and part of it might be that Lis and I don’t go all out with gift-buying or going out on dates. Could it be because we’re married? This year I did surprise her by buying her [...]
Merry Christmas from the Johnson’s – December 26, 2007
Posted in Christmas on December 31, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Merry Christmas to you all! I hope everyone out in the blogging world had a blessed Christmas and that you all had a wonderful weekend. I’m back to work, though its not all that bad. I’m actually tired of four-days of snacking and laying around the house. Odd to think that I headed to work [...]
Holiday Traditions – December 15, 2007
Posted in Christmas on December 17, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Now before you all get excited about me saying “Holiday” rather than “Christmas” let me explain to you that I’m going to be talking about New Years, thus lumping my Christmas and New Years traditions into Holiday traditions. Now that that is out of the way allow me to explain to you about how I [...]
No Post in a Month! Yikes! – November 28, 2007
Posted in Church, Friends, Nonsense, Thanksgiving, Work on December 12, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Allow me to dust off my fingers as it’s been over a month since I’ve last posted. It’s partly because I just haven’t been feeling it. There are two things I must be “feeling” when I sit down and write. I’ve got to have a plan of attack on what I want to write about, [...]
Five Years Later Bustin’ Still Makes Me Feel Good – October 31, 2007
Posted in Halloween on October 31, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Each year I put the CD into my CD player and the music begins. As the opening bars play I begin to get chills on my neck. It takes me back five years to a time when – for one night – we ruled Halloween. Every Halloween from now until I die I will remember [...]
Happy Father’s Day 2007 – June 17, 2007
Posted in A Kevy Favorite, Dad, Father's Day on June 18, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Last year I made a list of the top 10 Father-Son movies of all-time. This year I couldn’t think of any thing “special” to do for Father’s Day. But an idea popped into my head as I drove into work on Friday morning listening to sports talk radio. They were asking callers to call in [...]
