Cirque Dragons

Last night we had the chance to see Cirque du Soleil Dralion at the Cleveland State University Wolstein Center. It was phenomenal! I wish I had someone sitting beside me counting how many times I said, “Oh…Wow!” The acts were imaginative, creative, and in true Cirque fashion, unbelievable. We were blown away by the acrobatics, [...]

Happy Halloween! We hope everyone has a fantastic and fun Halloween today. Kora has the day off of school today and tomorrow for appropriately timed teacher in-service days.

It’s here!!  The day Tired Grandpa Randy and I have waited for, for three years.  We are retired! We decided to celebrate by going to Cleveland to see our two grandchildren (oh, of course our daughter and son-in-law, too).  There is nothing so rehabilitating as hearing “you’re the best,” coming from these two young people.  [...]

On Saturday, I was thrilled to take my family out to Lodi Station Outlets for a fantastic VIP Blogger Day. Lodi Station is about 45 minutes or so outside of Cleveland (depending what part you are coming from) but is well worth the drive for the incredible savings and selection of stores the mall offers.
