I’ve only been home a couple of days from a super trip that Ann had organized for us, 10 days of mostly beautiful weather, opposite from the cold, East Coast weather, that we took to Arizona, and let me tell you, I sure do miss it! Our trip started in Sedona, where we visited and […]

Yeah, Eric is talented enough to be one of the few people from his school chosen to attend this classic place. He’ll begin May 7, attend three comedy-related classes-improv, intro to stand-up one other that I forgot the name of, and be there for a total of six weeks. How could a parent, sorry, make […]

Back in 2017, my wife Ann had a great idea for me, though, apparently, I didn’t immediately take to her idea: to join the fairly new boxing gym that had opened up in Thomaston. According to Ann, part of the story goes like this: when I first started to go to Blue Boy, owners Coach […]

This past Monday night, I took on a different role at our latest Toastmasters meeting in Naugatuck because I couldn’t think of anything to give a speech on, but it was pretty cool doing something else. Now, my role for this meeting was to host a part of the meeting called Table Topics. What I […]

Just a couple of days ago, I turned 55 years old, an age at which my dear mother mother passed away nearly 35 years ago. Now, I was 20 years old when she died and now, I’ve got a 20 yearly son myself. Believe me, my wife, Ann and I didn’t plan things to be […]

Ann and I discussed spending more time together earlier this week.

For me, it was the fact that the Jameson […]

And it’s all because of Ann. We had some major repairs completed in our bathroom due to the floor sinking in causing the toilet to not be level which caused leaking. The men working are in the latter stage of finishing their work by taking out the sink, totally removing the bathtub and installing a […]

The Christmas holiday at the Canfield house was an interesting one for reasons that I never thought that a Christmas ever could be. First of all, a couple days before Christmas Day, our son Eric, in an effort to slice up some some sweet potatoes, nearly added the very tip of his right pinky to […]

That was where Ann and I were this past Saturday night around six rows from the ice, watching the Hartford Wolf Pack battle the Grand Rapids Griffins at the XL Center. Now, I must say it was a blast to see Ann being a sports fan for a night this one time, cheering on the […]

Even though this trip included some early-morning traveling, it was much easier(for me anyway) to wake up because we were going to see our son, Eric, for Thanksgiving. It probably also had to do with the fact that I wasn’t driving. Even so, I stayed awake for Ann the entire time and we had a […]
