It was the Dunkirk High School Alumni Banquet, and I finally had a chance to tell Suzi how she’d changed my life.

Family archives are a lot to take in

Tim Rivers has sent me down a rabbit hole.

Pierzynski no longer gets cheers

My wife and I said the word at the same time with the same inflection: “Pierzynski?”

Painting was worth the effort

It should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone who knows me that when it came time to buy a birthday present for my wife when I was in Moldova (and missing her birthday) I went shopping for a painting.

Maybe next time.

Concert was a priceless experience

How much is nostalgia worth? More than I can afford, apparently.
