To my bro Mark (themarke)
Hey Mark?
Since you are going to be giving Mindy away at the wedding, that means you will be standing in as her father. Since the father typically pays for the wedding, you want to cut a bro a break and help fund this soirée?
Aw, c’mon… I’ll call you Dad if you want!
Still discovering the joys of life
This weekend, though incredibly busy, was one of the best weekends of my life.
It was the first time Mindy and I have flown together, and it was to New York City!
We roomed with ficklechick and wickedpissahyall. Renee is an old friend in Internet terms, and it was wonderful to finally meet face to face. Tracey is a newer friend but is now a friend for life. These two women were and are now...
Not so STM for Stacey and Erin
You two need to come to New York with us at some point after the wedding. We know where to stay, and thanks to Meyechael, we know lots of great places to visit and eat.
We miss you guys, a lot. We must plan an extended trip soon!
“As long as I’m strapped in to something, I’m good.”
– Tracey
“Go a little tighter, okay?”
– Renee to me, just now.
I'm a bit pissed
As we were approaching LaGuardia today, the plane lost pressure too quickly and our ears couldn’t adjust. Thanks to that, I am now mostly deaf in my right ear and hearing at about 40% in my left.
I am sitting at the table with six beautiful women, and I can’t hear most of what they are saying. However, they are all major hotties, and they aren’t really talking to me much...

you are about my age Im guessing.
If your age is approaching 55 in the next couple of months, then that would be about right.

"Don't like the weather? Wait 5 minutes and it...
No matter where we live, we all have a version of that weather truth. I’ve lived in New Mexico, Ohio, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Alabama, and now Utah, and it was a fair statement in each location.
However, Utah has added a caveat, which is “Or drive 5 miles and it will change.”
Saturday was a cloudy day when we headed out for breakfast, but no precipitation. About 3 miles down...
Valentines Day this year has been the best one I have ever experienced. We didn’t do anything special, we didn’t buy each other extravagant gifts… we were just together.
How could I want any more than that?
Scones
Why does this manna from heaven not exist in the southeast? Fried bread with honey butter? Yum!!!!

Just wanted to put this person’s blog out there for everyone to see.
Truthful Tuesday
Earlier today, I told a dear friend something I have discovered over the last year or so… the more you love, the more love you have to give.
Honestly, I can blame this on tumblr. First, there was my friend Cathy, who introduced me to the world of tumblr, and who helped show me that not only did I want to find love, but it was possible to find that love.
Then I met Mindy, and it was like my...

Sappy, but no apologies
So I’ve been here at my new home for about a month and a half now, and we have settled into a daily routine during the work week. I normally drop Mindy off at the train around 6:45, then either take The Girl to the house or The Boy to school. I will then return to the apartment to start my workday. At some point I’ll pick up The Girl to get her to practice or a game. Then I pick up...
It’s amazing how fast this old ass can move when we hear that bedroom door open…
Just saying.
Truthful Tuesday?
And I was too busy to even realize it was Tuesday. Wow…

Wow! I’m packing my bags… be there by midnight!
Bev, we’ve always told you you are welcome here, so what are you waiting for??

I am experiencing the whole blended family thing for the first time. It’s not easy! I am glad the kids get along.
Actually, the kids of the two families haven’t met at all, since Mindy’s are here and mine are in St. Louis and Alabama. They will all meet for the first time at our wedding in July. THAT will be an interesting meeting, to...

so sweet, my son reacts the same way until he gets to know the person better so I always prepare my dates (if it is long term like you and Mindy)
Mindy had warned me that he might not warm to me immediately, but it was still somewhat of a shock to see his reaction that day. He did warm to the situation some later that day when we all went...

Four months later
Four months ago I met Mindy’s kids for the first time. She had undergone the same vetting with my kids when she came to Alabama in July. She hit it off with my oldest (Hayden’s mom), but wasn’t exactly sure how well the other two accepted her. We ate with those two again when she was back out in September, and came away feeling much more comfortable with them (she even received...

I’m doing homework and he’s busy at his computer. I ask if he wants to see my boobs and he doesn’t answer, just continues typing - ON TUMBLR!!!! Wondering if I should worry… ;)

Truthful Tuesday
I had a couple to share today, but I’ll save the other one for later… maybe throw in a Truthful Thursday just to keep everyone on their toes.
Anyway, I have discovered a couple of character flaws recently, and I know the subject of this TT is due to conditioning. You see, from 1987 on, I was solely responsible for all familial living expenses when I was still married, and of course...
Lunch with Mindy's sister
She wanted to get to know me better, so the two of us did lunch at Chili’s today.
I think she is still happy I’m part of the family now.
Actually, it was quite fun, and we get along great. I’m looking forward to our next lunch.
Made it back from Heather's party
Driving through Ogden was treacherous tonight. A storm dumped around 6 inches of snow in a very short time, and the roads weren’t plowed at all. Visibility was bad, traffic was bad, and it wasn’t any better coming back. However, there was no snow in Salt Lake City itself, and maybe three inches at most where we live, so the adage I heard today was true… if you want the weather to...

Anyone busy on July 14th and 15th?
Just curious… see, Mindy and I are planning this little social gathering* in Montgomery Alabama, and we’d like as many of our tumblr friends there as possible.
* Oh, and the name of the social gathering? How about “Mindy and Rick get married”?
