I’ve always known ConnectiCon to be special, but something about this week has made me realize just how important this show is to me. In Tuesday’s blog I briefly wrote about how tired I was from the lengthy travel to-and-from Nebraska, only to turn around two days later to exhibit at another convention. Two shows … Continue reading “ConnectiCon, Here I Come!”
Traveling to-and-from O-Con Expo this past weekend wasn’t as stressful as I thought it was going to be, but it was certainly tiring. My son and I arrived home late last night thanks to a delay with our connecting flight home. Combined with coming home a full day later than I usually like to on … Continue reading “Back and There Again”
I’m headed down to the Omaha, Nebraska area today to get ready for O-CON EXPO this weekend! I’m staying with family and it’ll be nice to catch up with them after I’m done with load-in for the show. It’s the first time I’ll be seeing them in a few years, it’s the first time they’ll … Continue reading “Traveling with a Ten Year Old”
This weekend I’ll be heading out to a convention I’ve never done before! Catch me in the Omaha, Nebraska area for O-Con Expo! Over the years I’ve done a handful of shows out in the midwest, and all of them have been pleasant experiences; Youmacon, NoBrandCon, A-Cen, and Anime St. Louis have all treated me … Continue reading “Out To O-Con Expo”
Yesterday was my birthday! I have successfully reached level 46! It’s always weird seeing that number go up every year, but I count my blessings I still get to keep track of it. With my wife and son gone on vacation this week, it looked as though I would be spending my birthday alone. Truthfully, … Continue reading “How I Spent My Birthday”
My wife and son are off on a trip this week, and I’ve stayed behind to watch over our cats. I’ve done this before and every time it is an equal mix of bliss and torture. Let’s get the obvious out of the way. I don’t consider my week-long solitude “bliss” because I enjoy being … Continue reading “Home Alone”
We’re experiencing a massive heatwave here in Massachusetts, with high humidity being a major factor in this sweltering misery. Today is going to be the worst of it. I’ll be taking my son to a local splash pad to cool down and I hope it won’t be too crowded. It’s a bit of a “hidden … Continue reading “It’s So Damn Hot”
About a month ago my son had his “beginner band concert” where all the first-year music students showed off how much they’d learned over the course of the school year. It was a charming night that made me remember my own school music concerts fondly. The concert also featured something called the Parent Band, which … Continue reading “My Flute Instructor”
Last week was my son’s final Field Day of elementary school and yesterday was his final field trip of the school year. I was involved in both and boy do I have some stories to tell. In last week’s blog I beamed about how excited I was to finally be part of the Field Day’s … Continue reading “Field Day to the Field Trip”
Tomorrow is Field Day at my son’s elementary school. It’s the last one he’ll participate in before he graduates to middle school. Every year post-pandemic, my wife and I have volunteered to help out and we’re so happy to be able to participate this last year. I am happier still that I won’t be doing … Continue reading “The Final Field Day”
