Time flew the fastest this summer and I'm both kinda sad it's over and glad for it. Prior to this year we'd travel a little bit and...

I don't often get sick, and when I do it's not often all that bad or for all that long. Most of the time when I sense a bad headache or a...

Last week we were in Alaska again and, while it's always a good trip, it brings some challenges both physical and emotional. From MSP...

As a kid I was relayed the old wives' tale that men inherit their hair from their maternal grandfather and, since mine was completely...

I'm sure I've said in the past how kid #1, our son, is basically my Mini-Me. It's not a reference to how he looks, it's that he generally...
