In January, and while I was scrolling through Facebook, I saw an advertisement for Brick Fest Live in San Antonio, TX scheduled for this weekend. Without even thinking or asking the family, I submitted my contact information so I could be alerted when tickets went on sale. Later, when I did tell Nina and Niko,…

I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. I knew who he was, and then had to check on Paul Reiser to make sure it was the comedian or somebody else with the same name. Yep, the comedian. Ok, so a pretty nifty combination. I am in…
Yesterday, I was planning on getting gas in Nina’s car and going to Goodwill to donate some stuff. Afterwards, Niko and I were going to do something fun in the world.

I got this book directly from the author as he wanted me to read it and provide feedback before it’s published. It’s the third book in this series. A year ago, he posted in the Goodreads Society Facebook page, if anybody would read one of his books, and share a review on Goodreads, Amazon, and…
My name is Mark, and I survived the 2nd grade field trip on Friday to a local museum. I didn’t chew on any dinosaur bones, I didn’t take off my clothes and pose as an old timer from the old times, I didn’t push the red button in the space exhibit, I didn’t build a…

I got this book from Netgalley so I could read and review it before it’s published. I will admit and tell you the only reason I was interested in this book was because of the title. So, basically, I went in blind and I came out in color and already have another book of hers…

Niko’s Spring Break was last week, and tomorrow he goes back to school. He won’t have anything exciting to tell his classmates or teacher of what he did and all the trouble he got it in on South Padre Island! Nope! Because, he was sick. He took one dose of meds on Monday and when…
I was scrolling through the autobiographies at the library, and this one popped up and I was intrigued. I know they got married, and had a daughter in Lisa Marie. I also have a book on my wishlist co-written by Lisa Marie and her daughter, Riley Keough. Riley had to finish it after Lisa Marie…

I am back! But, I won’t be writing about about high school football or high school basketball or sharing photos of athletes in action on the field or on the court! Nor, will I be sharing renovation photos of football stadiums or gymnasiums! Nope. I got something even better. I actually want to learn more…

He started his NBA playing days with the expansion franchise, the Charlotte Hornets. Also on that team was Del Curry,…
Last Sunday, and around our Niko dinner time which happens at 3 pm, he was complaining of his ear hurting. At first, we thought it was water as he had a shower a few hours earlier. None of the Google remedies worked for getting water out of ears, so I made a quick trip a…
