• 2018: A Year in Review – Part I

  Hope You Had a Merry Christmas! It seems like I’ve settled on writing once every few months, and sometimes in bursts. Life, as a father of five, as you can imagine, is busy, but that’s no excuse for not getting things done. As the saying goes, “if you want to get something done, ask a…

• Thank YOU!! Keep It Coming! It's Our Last Day!

  Thanks to all you generous folks, you know who you are, we have raised $1980!  Today is our last day to raise funds for the school!  It does take a village to raise a child…and in our case, 5 children!  So, it takes a Metropolis to raise ours!  We’re grateful for your generosity! Click here…

• Family Trip to Cayo Coco, Cuba – Part 2 of 3

  Renee at the Italian Restaurant by the Shore, Coconut in Hand I’m now writing this in late April to late May (this post took a month to write!). *Sigh*  Sometimes I wished I was retired (don’t we all?) and have all the free time to do things that we want to do.  I remember hearing…

• Family Trip to Cayo Coco, Cuba – Part 1 of 3

  On January 28, 2011, we headed to Cayo Coco, Cuba for our family trip.  This year, Renee’s father, Johnson, is turning 60 and we (the kids) decided to treat him and Renee’s mom, Anita, to a trip down south.  It’s our first time going to the Caribbean; so, naturally, we were really excited. We started…
