Year 5, Day 334

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to do a better job of looking out for myself, especially where time away from work is concerned. After racking up a ton of vacation time during the pandemic, I've had an ongoing problem of failing to use virtually any of it unless I had a specific trip … Continue reading Year 5, Day 334 →

Year 5, Day 193

Jaclyn had to make a relatively last-minute trip to the Ohio State Fair for work today*, leaving me alone to contend with Miles and Brie. Fortunately, our vet tech neighbor saw to Brie today while I was at work, and yes, Miles was in school for the better part of the day, but what WASN'T … Continue reading Year 5, Day 193 →

Year 5, Day 64

Hosting trivia at Legion Brewing for as long as I have has made me part of the family at that fine establishment. Which means I occasionally get invited to events like tonight's "Friends and Family" preview for their new location on Morehead St. Jaclyn and I were happy, to say the least, to make a … Continue reading Year 5, Day 64 →

Year 4, Day 349

I wasn't too far into my trivia show at Legion last night when my Spider-Sense started tingling. I looked out the window behind me and saw this: DANGER APPROACHES! As soon as he entered, Miles beelined over to me and demanded to "read the answers" to the questions I was asking. I absolutely agreed to … Continue reading Year 4, Day 349 →

Year 4, Day 250

I got a rare...sure, we'll call it a "treat" tonight, when about fifteen minutes into my trivia show I felt a tiny pair of arms ensnare my leg as a "Daddy!" pierced the din of the music and crowd. I was thrown completely off-balance for a moment, as I saw Miles but had no idea … Continue reading Year 4, Day 250 →

Year 4, Day 104

I got a rare treat during my trivia show at Legion Brewing last night, as Jaclyn and Miles stopped in for a little bit. It's the first time Miles has been to a trivia show in well over a year, long enough that I don't think he could really even remember it, which could explain … Continue reading Year 4, Day 104 →

Year 2, Day 239

Miles made a rare appearance at my trivia show tonight, and unlike the first time he stopped by, he was much more excited this time around. He ran over and hugged me as soon as he entered Legion, and he was on the mic moments later.

Day 359

Coming to visit daddy at (evening) work!

Day 294 — Miles v. Santa Claus: Dawn of Christmas

Today, Miles finally crossed paths with that Paragon of Presents, that Emperor of Elves, that...Holiness of Holidays (?) himself -- Santa Claus. Legion Brewing hosted Mr. Kringle for a Sunday brunch, and it was an opportunity Jaclyn and I knew we couldn't pass up. Brunch, beer, AND Santa? Everybody leaves happy! Except, of course, Miles, … Continue reading Day 294 — Miles v. Santa Claus: Dawn of Christmas →

Day 244

We're trying to get as much mileage out of Miles's Halloween costume as we can, so we stopped by my stomping grounds at Legion Brewing for their Trunk or Treat event today. Granted, it was mostly an excuse for mom and dad to get out of the house, but Miles was, as usual, a big … Continue reading Day 244 →
