12 Days of Christmas
Some of you may not know that there are really twelve days to Christmas. The 12 days mark the time from Christmas to Epiphany. Epiphany is the time the Wise Men came to deliver their gifts to the baby Jesus. For more information read Matthew 2: 1-12. Some cultures celebrate Epiphany with a King’s Cake […]
2011- The White World of Sports
I just wanted to take a few moments to reflect on 2011. It was an exciting year in sports. The St. Louis Rams got us excited thinking they were gonna make the playoffs to start the year. St. Louisans got all revved up in the time leading up to that one Sunday evening in Seattle. […]
Christmas Letter
This is my Christmas blog. It is going out to over a thousand or so people who have read this little blog already. If you got a Christmas card from us, you may recognize some of the content here. Our year started by going to Disney World with our friends the Rohmans and Millers. Was […]
I’m a Muppet of a Man
Ok, let me say I really really enjoyed the movie ‘The Muppets’. If you saw my Facebook comment on it right afterwards, I called it ‘The best movie of all time’. After a bit of reflection and being talked down to earth by my wife, I will have to say that it is now just […]

Being Cardinals Red Far Away– Part Two of ‘A Life Bleeding Cardinals Red’
Ok, I was born and raised bleeding Cardinals red. But what happens to a Cardinals fan when he moves away from St. Louis and has to live in the non-baseball area of Southern California? Well, he moves back home to Cardinals Nation as soon as he can. On September 5th 1989, I left St. Louis […]
Born and Raised Cardinals Red – Part one of ‘A Life Bleeding Cardinals Red’
In my initial blog I talked about one of the references to the name ‘Born Bleeding’. This was that I have been a St. Louis Cardinals (1) fan all of my life and I know I was born bleeding Cardinals red. I do remember not being a Cardinals fan growing up so I can honestly say I […]
