On Folsom Koen Blues
Boys, The thing about harmonicas is that they’re an easy instrument to sound decent at without really having any technique. That’s not to say that a skilled harmonicist (that can’t be right) can’t be incredible at their craft and their passion and all that. A harmonica is kind of like a piano with only the…

All good trilogies know you have to end with a bang. This one is no different.

On Ten — Part 2
Boys, So we got in and decide we’re going to leave on a Wednesday when the event is scheduled for Friday (our anniversary is also on Friday. So we got that going for us, which is nice). There is also some kind of glow ball event scheduled for Thursday night, but otherwise, most of the…

On Ten — Part 1
Boys, Normally I like to write about you two and what is going on in your lives, but I feel like sometimes it’s important for you to get a peek into what is going on in your mom and my life. Last week, your mom and I went to Palm Springs. It was kind of…

On Being THAT Dad
Boys, This past Saturday, sometime between the hours of 10am and 11:30, it hit me that I’m THAT dad. You know, the one you yells louder than anyone at their kid’s basketball game. I didn’t even realize I was that dad until your mom looks over at me with this, “you need to take it…

From Ryan to Rogue
Boys, I know I’ve written about Rogue before, it was actually about this time last year, but a lot has happened in his life since then, and most of it hasn’t been great. Rogue is a big dog and big dogs get old fast. He has arthritis in his hips (and probably everywhere else) and…

On January 14, 2024 – Best Day Ever!
Boys, Lot to get into with this one so buckle up, buttercup. Today, we went to the train show at the Columbus Fairgrounds. This is the second straight year we’ve done this, and we’ve even recruited some friends to come with us this time. You, Miles, and Nash all got these paper train conductor hats…

On Why I Love the Lions
Boys, This is kind of a stand alone post, but also part of an emergency bang-bang post. What’s a bang-bang post? Well.. Hence, if a bang-bang is when you eat a full meal, then go somewhere else and eat another full meal, a bang-bang post is when I write one post, then have to write…
From Ryan to Reagan and Koen
