Almost a year ago today my wife and I were at the Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona and heard the words: you’ve been diagnosed with ALS. It is a phrase that no human ever wants to hear, and as we were reeling and mentally grieving, one of the first questions that my wife asked was:…

Well we are now residents of Ohio! We packed up all of our earthly belongings and put them into a moving van. Most of those things went to storage and a few of them went to a small one bedroom apartment where Lisa and I are enjoying apartment life again “ha ha”. Never say never…

Well the moving van comes on April 21 and on April 22 I fly to Ohio while my son, wife and possibly son-in-law drive east. We are moving in to the same complex in the Mason, Ohio area as my son for now while our home here in Henderson sells. So many emotions! After 28…

So I am now officially retired! I loved my work, my co-workers (at least most of them) and making a difference for the future of the city that has been so good to me and my family. ALS is not exactly how I would have written the story but we are working to trust the…

It’s been far too long. Christmas was busy with lots of amazing time spent with family and friends. It’s crazy how much of our focus the Christmas and New Years holidays take. Totally worth it but I feel like it takes me more time each year to recover. 2026 has come in with some relatively…

Incredible! I was so tremendously blessed recently by the strong presence of our community. We had the walk I have been mentioning for a couple of posts previous to this and the turnout (over 75 in person and many more virtually), love, and support was incredible. Thank you for all the participation videos sent from…

It’s been a good bit from my last post, for all of the right reasons really. My wife and I had planned a two week trip to do a few things. Top of the list was to get everyone together to “witness” and celebrate my youngest daughter’s engagement! Yay!! We are so excited for them…

A really nice morning for me is to wake up and pretty quickly find myself sitting on my back patio. I love to be outdoors and even though I am totally NOT out in the wild in my back yard, being surrounded by mature trees makes me somehow feel in touch with nature. The songs…
